Calgary home sales drop again in June as inventory keeps piling up: board
The board says 2,286 homes changed hands last month, with declines recorded across all property types year-over-year.
CREB chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie says sales decreases come as supply has improved across rental, resale and new home markets, allowing for more choice as inventory returned to levels reported in 2021 before a population surge.
There were 4,223 new listings on the market last month, up 11.2 per cent from a year earlier, as the city's inventory reached 6,941 homes for sale — an 83.2 per cent increase.
Lurie says additional choice in the market — combined with stagnant lending rates, persistent uncertainty and concerns of price adjustments — is keeping many potential buyers on the sidelines, which 'is weighing on home prices, especially for apartment and row style homes.'

Alberta creates accident exclusion zone, fines to curb predatory tow trucks
EDMONTON – Alberta's government is creating fines and rules meant to curb predatory tow truck drivers. Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen says concerns have been raised about tow truck drivers showing up at car accidents and pressuring those involved to unnecessarily accept their services. Dreeshen says in some cases tow truck drivers charge excessive fees and don't provide necessary information to those whose vehicles are towed. Starting Friday, the province is implementing a 200-metre exclusion zone around accident scenes, and tow trucks must stay back unless police or drivers involved say otherwise. Dreeshen says if tow truck drivers don't respect the exclusion zone, they can be fined $1,000. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. The rules are nearly identical to a bylaw passed earlier this year by Calgary city council, and Dreeshen says all Albertans will now have the same protection.
