Calgary's 5 most expensive homes for sale right now
The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) says February home sales were up nearly 23 per cent from last year as new listings rose.
The board says sales totalled 2,135 units, while the volume of sales in dollars rose 41.3 per cent to $1.25 billion.
New listings were up 13.6 per cent to 2,711, while inventory was down just over 14 per cent from last year.
Homes priced over $1million rose again in February contributing to the 237 sales reported in the first two months of the year.
"Sales were possible thanks to a pickup in new listings," said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB's chief economist.
"This segment reported a gain in inventory levels and conditions are not as tight as the lower price ranges."
