The fairly strong start to the 2019 real estate market in Lake Bonavista continued in March with some fairly solid numbers once again…nothing off the charts but holding their own as we wade through this market.
The overall Days on Market (DOM) numbers were rather interesting once again as we saw 7 of the 9 completed sales come in under the 30 day mark with 3 actually selling in less than 14 days and on the other end of the spectrum we saw the DOM numbers skewed higher by the 2 remaining sales that took 120 and 174 days respectively.
The inventory in the community has increased since last month with 57 current listings, which is to be expected as we are now into the spring market and that generally marks the beginning of our highest inventory period of the calendar year. Based on the rolling sales average there is currently 6 months of available inventory which is still high.
On a positive note, the market has shown some signs of stabilization across Calgary as the year over year new listing numbers have dropped across the board and over the past few weeks we have also seen stronger sales numbers in some categories as well, again hopefully a scenario that continues and puts things back on the road to a balanced market.
As was the case in our last update, Lake Bonavista sellers still need to be extremely competitive and bluntly realistic with both list prices and expected final sale prices and on the buyer side of the scale, opportunities continue to present themselves while we are at a low point in the market.
