Calgary's 5 most expensive homes for sale right now

Calgary home sales rose to 1,650 units in January, a significant gain over last year's levels and long-term trends.

According to the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB), the growth was possible thanks to a rise in new listings totalling 2,137 units in January.

New listings rose for homes priced above $300,000, but the largest gains occurred for homes priced above $700,000.

CREB chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says Calgary saw further sales growth for properties priced above $1,000,000 in January.

"The 97 sales were met with 225 new listings, resulting in a sales-to-new-listing ratio of 43 per cent, the lowest ratio in comparison to all other price ranges.

"This implies that this segment of the market has a more balanced supply to demand ratio then lower priced homes. However, that does not mean that this segment of the market has not experienced price gains.

"In fact, when reviewing communities where the typical home is priced above $1,000,000, most of those communities continue to report year-over-year price growth, albeit at a slightly slower pace then communities where home prices are lower."
