Inside Calgary's 5 most expensive homes for sale right now

The Calgary Real Estate Board says May home sales fell 0.8 per cent from last year as 3,092 properties changed hands, driven by declines in lower-priced detached and semi-detached homes.

Despite the downtick in sales, the board says activity was still 34 per cent higher than long-term trends for the month.

The benchmark price across all home types was $605,300 for May — up 9.5 per cent from a year earlier and nearly one per cent higher than April.

New listings in Calgary rose 18.7 per cent year-over-year to 4,333 and there were 3,402 units in inventory, 5.9 per cent higher than last year.

"So far this year there have been 905 homes that sold that were priced above $1,000,000, a 54 per cent gain over last year," said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB chief economist, in a statement to CTV News.
