New listings at a good price generating a lot of activity.

City of Calgary residential sales continued to rise in March 2012, reaching 2,167 units, an increase of 12.6 per cent over last March, according to figures released on February 1, 2012 by CREB® (Calgary Real Estate Board) .

“The rise in activity is related to the continued improvement of our economy and consumer confidence, as some concerns
regarding the global economy have eased,” says Ann-Marie Lurie,  CREB® chief economist.

After the first quarter of 2012, sales are up by 7.3 per cent over the same time last year. While the increase is significant, when
compared to historic activity, residential sales continue to remain below the long-term trend. Monthly new listings remain slightly lower than last year, whereas year-to-date figures show 7.2 per cent fewer listings have come onto the market in the first quarter of this year.
