Real estate outlook for 2021
Since June, the housing market of Banff has been record-breaking. There was a brief hold during the pandemic this month. Despite economic uncertainty, aggravated the spread of the pandemic, and highly controversial elections the home buyers continue to snatch up relatively few homes that are listed for sale. From the last month, the overall inventory was down 7% and this was the largest drop of the month since January. In 2019, there was a slip of 33.85% in the same zone according to Zillow.
Price rising or stable outlook
The growth in housing prices that was witnessed in 2016 and 2017 has represented a more moderate level because the market was shifted to a more balanced phase. The total MLS sales were down to 543 sales almost 5.4% while the total volume of transactions was also down to $366,732,660 about 3.9%.
With almost 827 listings the inventory remained unchanged throughout the year. There were a large number of developer sales but these were not accounted for in these sales particularly with the release of the new projects in Three sisters and Spring creek.
Market growth and stability
Banff National park which is the oldest park in Canada has attracted approximately 4.09 million visitors in 2018-2019. This was down from its visitation peak of approximately 2.18 million in 2017-2018. More than 3 million visitors have been received by this park annually since 2010-2011.
Is the real estate market growing.?
In the year when there was a decline in sales volume, sales of the detached and semi-detached raised year over year in 2018. The average sale price of the city was decreased by $68,000 while the median sales price was increased by $3,500. This average price decreased because luxury segments of homes of single families were very much softer in the previous year. There were a total of 06 sales of detached homes more than $2,000,000 in 2018, down from 12 previous years.
In the previous year, there was a significant drop in the townhouse property sales. This drop was because of three factors. First is that there were 9.4 percent fewer townhouse properties that were offered this year. Secondly, with changes to rising prices, most traditional-time buyers in the entry-level of townhouse property were priced out of the market. Thirdly, a number of new and large construction projects that were launched in 2017 have sold the majority of these projects. So, we can say that the real estate market is going down.
