Embrace the Spring in the Mountains: A Time of Renewal and Excitement

Spring has arrived in the mountains, bringing a mix of spring snowfall and stunning bluebird days. Fresh snow adorns the mountain peaks, signaling the end of the ski season and the beginning of a season filled with outdoor activities. The trails beckon for hiking, biking, and running, while the local mountain golf courses prepare for a vibrant summer. With the arrival of spring, wildlife becomes more active, offering opportunities to spot the natural inhabitants of our beautiful region.

Canmore Real Estate Market: A Glimpse into Inventory and Sales

Our real estate market, while still low on inventory, shows signs of growth with an approximate 20% increase in total listings in each of the past two years. This trend is encouraging, yet there’s a journey ahead towards a balanced market. When we compare the past five months to the same period in 2019, our listing inventory is down by 43%.

Sales Trends and Market Dynamics

In the first four months of 2024, the market experienced a 33% increase in sales compared to 2023, although it was 17% lower than the pre-pandemic levels of 2019. Various factors contribute to this with the most significant being a lower inventory in 2023 and 2024 compared to 2019 which offered buyers more options and required less patience from them.

New Listings: Tracking the Pulse of the Market

While we often discuss the number of listings, it’s worth noting the monthly influx of new listings. Excluding the pandemic years of 2020-2022, we typically see between 200 and 300 new listings each month. Last year marked a low at 175, but 2024 has returned to normalcy with 220 new listings in the first four months.

Months of Inventory: Understanding the Seller’s Market

Currently, we are operating under 3 months of inventory, indicative of a persistent seller’s market. This environment has led to increased competition, with multiple offers for well-priced, high-demand properties.
