I made a chart showing Calgary housing prices and quotes from Greogry Klump, cheif economist for the Canadian Real Estate Association. Prices are from Mike's Site and I did include August which so far only has 9 days worth of data.
The arrow points to the time period between months. This is because the data points are entire month averages and generally the comments are referring to previous month's data.
The two quotes are found in the ealier post.

Those averages hide a lot of details. Look at the CREB data. This is a sign that the high-end homes and condos are not selling. However, house prices at the bottom of the distribution (300k range) are still experiencing growth. So this is not really any meaningful news for the first time buyer . . . at least not yet.
aaron,
Thats why I included the median as well. Million dollar sales are down this month compared to last year, but YTD million dollar sales are up in % terms. Sales price per square foot has fallen.
You also have to consider that maybe more lower priced homes are selling because prices have fallen. Lower price may not mean lower quality.
I have not been following individual properties in Calgary, but in Edmonton I can say that the price drops have been substantial.
Thanks squid,
See these charts as well for Edmonton. Maybe they need updating.
