Calgary Real Estate Forcast
Yesterday I attended the Calgary Real Estate Forecast conference. While some of the news about the economy was not new information, there were a few interesting points you may be interested in.
• Canada and Alberta is still a major player on the world economy regarding energy.
• The BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China) are leading the world on the economy recovery.
• Canada’s economic fate is connected very closely to our neighbors to the south! Our safe banking systems and our conservative credit policies made sure that the recession and the meltdown did not affect us in the same way.
• The world financial markets will remain volatile for the rest of the year.
In Calgary we are on the road to recovery and by late 2010 there should be more job creation and that will lead to more net migration and house sales.
In Calgary the average single family home sold for $442,327 and that is forecast to increase by 6.3%
For those of you living in Towns outside of Calgary, the average single family home is $352,704 and that should rise by 3.2% over 2010.
If you want more information or more detailed regarding the town you live in or where you plan to move, just pm me.

We could never have found ANY of that out ourselves, I'm particular bolstered by the words in Italics.

(which is pretty much what i've been saying w.r.t. mal-investment in assets rather than real growth for a while now so I can get to be smug when the economist agrees with me)
The predictions on real estate values may well be under estimates in the medium to long term.

Re: Calgary Real Estate Forcast
Thanks for the info Helen.
The people on the above posts know it all.
Personally I did not know how much houses were predicted to go up in Calgary. I am still in the UK.
I will pm you.

Re: Calgary Real Estate Forcast
I only posted the facts as I was told yesterday.
it was not meant as a massive discussion/ argument as to who is right or wrong, or which country is better or worst.
I did not even say it was new information.
it was just posted as information on the forecast for this year in Calgary which i thought people in the Uk who are thinking of moving over may like.
Thankyou Maggieg for your pm, i will get the information back to you.

Re: Calgary Real Estate Forcast
I have attended every year and the small cost is well worth it in order to make sure I know the latest information. if I know about what is happening then I can assist my clients better. The best information i got yesterday, is not in any news paper or website.

Re: Calgary Real Estate Forcast
As far property prices averages across the city are worthless and even more so once you say Towns Outside Calgary. The 'Town' I'm moving to has 5 listings on MLS and two private sales (that I know of) the cheapest property is 65k the most expensive 226k (so as you see the average there is nowhere near the average quoted by HP).

Re: Calgary Real Estate Forcast
(and why 6.3% rather than 6.2% or 6.4%, seems a very specific figure for something that I doubt can be predicted without a large margin of error).

Should I just close this now, as everyone seems intent on bashing someone for posting something they thought was helpful?
Like any info posted here, there are no guarantees, users should exercise due diligence.

Been on the forum lots of time over the last year or so.
My first post so do not respond to it unless it is something nice!
Why do other members just critise and pull apart other peoples posts. This forum use to be a good place to get some information about moving to canada.
I know it is only people's personal opinions and some advice can be a bit strange, but 80% is genuine.
Some of the posts seem to be a personal attack all the time!
Like the earlier post says, can you not play nice.
