Homes are currently fetching 97.3% of asking against a 97.9% five-year norm. What that leverage means for a specific home depends on its type, style, and price band - that’s the conversation I have with the actual comparables on the table.

Pricing & pace

The grey bars are how long homes take to sell; generally, when they shrink, the price line rises. Right now South Calgary is selling faster than the seasonal norm (a 3-month median of 27 days versus 39 days historically for this time of year). Historically, high liquidity and low supply have preceded upward pressure on prices.
