The Calgary Real Estate Board says home sales in the city decreased again on a year-over-year basis last month amid uncertainty over the economy, while new listings and inventory both grew.
The board says 2,236 homes were sold in April, marking a 22.3 per cent decrease compared with the same month last year, as sales in Calgary slowed across all property types.
CREB chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says that while sales have been softening in recent months, activity is still outpacing the levels seen during the economic downturn that plagued the city leading up to the pandemic, thanks to previous migration gains, relatively stable employment levels, lower lending rates, and better supply.
There were 4,038 new listings on the market last month, up 15.7 per cent from a year earlier, as the city's inventory reached 5,867 homes for sale — more than double the supply available at the same time last year.
The board says the rise in inventory has helped the market shift to balanced conditions, however lower-priced detached and semi-detached properties continue to struggle with insufficient supply.
The residential benchmark price was $591,100, marking a 1.4 decrease from April 2024 and a month-over-month decrease of 0.2 per cent.

Superstore next landmark commercial store on Tsuut'ina Nation, breaks ground
A new Canadian Superstore will arrive in Tsuut'ina Nation by 2026, promising employment for residents of the Indigenous land and a push to the community's economy by attracting more visitors to the area. Article content Officials from the Tsuut'ina Nation, Taza Development Corp., along with executives from Loblaw, broke ground on the retail store on Thursday ahead of other development projects planned for the community. Article content Article content Article content James Robertson, president of Taza Development Corp. — an equal partnership between Tsuut'ina Nation and real estate development firm Canderel — said he's excited about this for two reasons. Article content Article content The first is a continuation of the Buffalo Run development that includes a suite of stores, including Costco and projects such as the Taza Park, a 470-acre urban village that would include 6,500 homes and one million square feet of commercial space, including a retail main street. Article content 'The second part is yet another major corporation is deciding to partner with us to bring the vision of Taza to life,' Robertson said. Article content Robertson said the outlet will also generate more employment for Indigenous people in its construction phase and after it's built. He expects a job fair next year, where the community will have an opportunity to apply for jobs. Some contractors, meanwhile, are from the nation and will probably hire their members. Article content Article content He said the organization is staying away from any targets on the number of Indigenous people they'd like to see hired. However, Jonathan Carroll, senior vice-president of Superstore Operations Loblaw Companies Ltd., said the company will work with the cultural team at the nation 'to understand and make sure that we can get the right colleagues into our business who are local.' Article content The aim of the new establishment, along with other projects, is to also attract more Calgarians and entice them to linger in the area for as long as possible, Travis Obert, vice president of land development at Taza, said. Article content 'So the idea is you can come, maybe drop off your kid at a basketball court, then go shopping, and then go for a walk.' Article content 'We are working with the cultural team to make sure we deliver the right images,' he added. Article content In addition to the development of the Taza Park, Robertson the community will receive other additions to the area near the Superstore, such as banks, restaurants other establishments.

Council rejects 'formality' motion to reaffirm next year's property tax increase
Calgary city councillors couldn't find consensus Tuesday on whether to reaffirm their previous commitment to keep next year's property tax hike at 3.6 per cent. Article content But according to two members of council, the failed motion was mostly a formality, as well as an exercise in budget transparency. Article content Article content When approving the 2023-26 budget in November 2022, council supported a 3.6 per cent property tax increase for 2026, the final year of the four-year budget cycle. Article content Article content Those supportive of the motion from Ward 11 representative Kourtney Penner included Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Couns. Raj Dhaliwal, Evan Spencer, Jasmine Mian, Peter Demong and Courtney Walcott. Article content 'Calgarians want steadiness. They want consistency and they want some predictability,' Penner said, when moving the recommendation. Article content Article content Those in opposition to the motion argued that although budget transparency ahead of November is important, it's premature to promise Calgarians in June what type of tax increase they will see the following year. Article content Article content Ward 1 Coun. Sonya Sharp, who voted in opposition alongside Couns. Dan McLean, Gian-Carlo Carra, Jennifer Wyness, Terry Wong, Sean Chu and Andre Chabot, said after the meeting she felt the vote was a formality. Article content Article content 'The direction didn't lose,' she said. 'Administration was already given that direction in 2022.' Article content Sharp and others, including Chabot, also disagreed with the 3.6 per cent figure, pointing out it didn't factor in a motion from Ward 12 Coun. Evan Spencer, which was approved by council last week, to develop an Infrastructure Reinvestment Program. The motion included several considerations to address the city's worsening backlog of deferred maintenance during the 2027-30 budget cycle.

As Calgary brings back fluoride, councillor urges Montreal to reconsider West Island decision
By As Calgary prepares to reintroduce fluoride to its drinking water later this month, one of their city councillors is calling upon Montreal to reconsider removing it from West Island faucets — and trust the science. Calgary took away fluoride from its water in 2011 as a cost-cutting measure. Dental health declined over the next decade, according to city councillor Gian-Carlo Carra, who has been involved in the fluoride debate throughout. In 2021, Calgarians voted in a municipal election to reinstate water fluoridation. 'We've had fluoride out of the water for over 10 years. That was 10 years we could track a against other cities. We could track a worsening in the condition of our kids' teeth and in our population's teeth,' Carra said in an interview Monday. As Carra reflects on Calgary's decision-making on fluoride, he's appealing to Montreal to learn from Calgary's missteps and to 'trust the data.' 'The data shows that it helps,' he added. A 2021 study on second-grade children in Calgary found that the proportion of children with dental caries rose from 56.6 per cent in 2011 to 64.8 per cent in 2018, seven years after the city stopped fluoridating its water. In November, Montreal's agglomeration council voted to end fluoridation of West Island drinking water, also to save costs. Although 87 per cent of the agglomeration council is made up of Montreal councillors who largely voted against fluoride, the 13-per-cent minority representing the suburbs — particularly West Island officials — fought to maintain it. Fluoridation at the Dorval and Pointe-Claire plants was set to finish by early 2025. Benjamin Blanc, a spokesperson for the city of Pointe-Claire, confirmed the practice actually stopped at the end of fall 2024. The Gazette contacted the cities of Montreal and Dorval for clarification but did not receive a response in time for publication. For Kirkland Mayor Michel Gibson, Calgary's decision to bring back fluoride demonstrates it's not too late for Montreal to reconsider its own fluoride policy for the West Island. 'I'm not finished fighting this battle,' he said in an interview Tuesday, adding that he plans to raise the issue during Montreal's municipal election this fall and is prepared to challenge it in court if necessary. While Calgary residents were able to vote directly on the fluoride issue through a municipal election ballot, Pointe-Claire Mayor Tim Thomas said that's not an option for West Island residents, who cannot vote in the Montreal municipal election. He explained that under the current structure of the agglomeration council, decisions affecting the West Island are ultimately made by Montreal city councillors, who significantly outnumber suburban representatives. 'The point here is that we can't decide water for our own citizens with our own plant,' Thomas said in an interview. 'Our citizens, who paid for that plant, should have the option of deciding how it's used for them.' Beaconsfield Mayor Georges Bourelle said in an interview Monday that during the fall agglomeration council debates on fluoride, he pointed to Calgary as a cautionary tale. He is not hopeful Montreal will reinstate fluoride because of the way the agglomeration council is organized, which he described as 'undemocratic.' 'Politically, the worst thing that the provincial government did was to set up the agglomeration the way it is,' he said. Montreal's decision prioritized cost savings over public health, said Baie-D'Urfe Mayor Heidi Ektvedt. 'I personally don't even believe that this is about fluoride. I personally think that there was money to be saved by pulling it, and why spend it in the West Island for a population who doesn't even vote for (Montreal),' she said in an interview Monday. She added that several citizens have reached out to her about Calgary refluoridating its water. 'I'm happy for Calgary that they're putting it back into their water,' she said. 'But you know, Montreal is going to tell you, let's look at Sweden. They'll talk about the States — everybody's pulling out of fluoride in the States,' referring to possible examples cited by the city to justify not fluoridating. 'I like to look at Calgary and see that it was done in a democratic way.'
