Slower Sales, More Choice & A Market That Varies by Property Type

• Calgary: 1,660 sales | $569,800 benchmark | 3.92 months of supply. Condos continue to favour buyers.
• Airdrie: 137 sales | $508,800 benchmark | 3.77 months of supply.
• Cochrane: 94 sales | $570,200 benchmark | 3.41 months of supply.
• Okotoks: 55 sales | $608,400 benchmark | 2.42 months of supply, remaining one of the tighter markets in the region.
