Dare to Compare

A few things happened since I last compared to US home prices.
  1. Canadian dollar went down considerably making Canadian real estate less expensive (to Americans). Last time I did this there was no need to convert currencies.
  2. Many US cities experienced brutal declines. Note that American cities are from Q4 2008, Calgary and Edmonton are from February 2009.
  3. Alberta prices fell but less than many U.S. cities when looking at local currency.
  4. Some US cities literally fell off the charts. For instance Detroit, where average price $13,638. I am sure sales mix has an impact on this number, possibly why it was not included on CNN.

Amazingly Fort Mcmurray had defied gravity and posted a gain!

Prices were still going up for the first month in Fort Mc, however, there is now 18 months of inventory and finally there's a downward trend in the listings.

Not a whole lot is selling though.

Calgary still have almost 30% to drop before it gets down to 2005 levels, do we have the income and employment level to hold this up? Prices actually went up slightly in March, crazily enough...

The YOY price for fort Mac is from December. I'll post the latest numbers if I can find them.

Calgary numbers aren't surprising. It was a brutal string of months so it may go up a few months this spring. I am most surprised by inventory, not that I am terribly concerned.
