Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - OCTOBER 2019 STATISTICS


The brisk pace of sales activity in the community slowed slightly last month as we had 12 completed transaction as compared to 15 in September, while year over year the activity was up 34% from the 9 sales registered last October.


The overall Days on Market (DOM) for all listings jumped quite dramatically from the previous month going from 55.0 to 72.2, however this number was artificially inflated by 2 listings that spent 245 and 195 days respectively on the market.  When these anomalies are taken out of the equation the DOM actually drops to 42.6 days, which is more indicative of the current market conditions.


The inventory level continues to decline with 40 active properties compared to 44 in September and as we head into the winter months that number should continue to decline.  Based on the rolling 6-month community average there is currently 2.3 months of available inventory, interestingly the number of active listings was only slightly higher (41) at the same time last year but with a much lower sales rate it translated into 4.6 months of inventory.


Overall, we continue to see steady improvement and elevated levels of activity in many categories recently so hopefully the trend continues and translates into a healthy winter market.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - SEPTEMBER 2019 STATISTICS


We had another strong month of sales in September considering the weather wasn’t all the ‘Fall-like’ with 11 completed transactions.  The mix of properties was again spread across several categories as we had 6 detached single-family home sales, 3 apartment sales (all in the Phoenician complex) and 2 rowhouse transactions.


The number of sales was lower than the 14 registered in September of 2018 but the big change comes in the inventory level as we have just 35 active listings compared to 47 last year, which marks a reduction of almost 26% year over year.  Based on the past 6 months of sales the current inventory level works out to 3.0 months of available listings which is bordering on a balanced market and something we haven’t seen for some time.  As alluded to last month however it is important to keep in mind that despite an anticipated strong October, the past 6-month period has represented what is generally the busiest time of the year.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties came in at 52.9 days which is a slight uptick from August and was pushed higher by 2 listings that spent more than 160 days on the MLS.  On the opposite end we also had 5 properties that sold in less than 17 days so there was activity at both ends of the spectrum.


Despite the positive numbers in the community, the market as a whole is still feeling the effects of the lingering economic downturn so impactful events like the upcoming federal election and the beginning (or further delay) of the Trans-Mountain pipeline construction will go a long way to determining the mood of the market.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - SEPTEMBER 2019 STATISTICS


September brought with it some rather horrendous weather with another ‘Snowtember’ event, but it also brought another solid sales month in the community with 15 completed transactions.  This continues a strong run of resale activity over the past 6 months and marks a 67% increase over the 9 sales registered last September.


The overall Days on Market number for all listings was a respectable 55 days which is lower than recent months as there were only 2 properties that spent more than 100 days on the market.  The detached sales came in lower at 47 days while the condominium apartment sales trended higher at 77 days.


The inventory also slipped slightly to 44 active properties down from 48 last month which works out to 2.51 months of supply based on the running 6-month community average.  As mentioned last month we are however heading into the colder season which generally sees a slow down in resale activity.


Despite the positive numbers in the community, the market as a whole is still feeling the effects of the lingering economic downturn so impactful events like the upcoming federal election and the beginning (or further delay) of the Trans-Mountain pipeline construction will go a long way to determining the mood of the market.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - AUGUST 2019 STATISTICS


We had a stellar end to the ‘official’ summer market in August and had the highest number of completed transactions in the past year with 22, consisting of 18 single family home sales and 4 apartment condominium sales.


There were a number of properties that had lingered on the market for months and months that finally sold which increased the monthly Days On Market (DOM) numbers, these were largely in the higher price bracket while the majority of the more affordable homes under the $600K mark sold rather quickly


The large number of sales also took a good bite out of the active inventory which is sitting at 48 down from 60 last month which has also translated into a reduction in the months of available inventory number which is currently at just 2.91 months based on the running 6 month community sales average.  One note to keep in mind however is that we have passed what are traditionally the busiest months of the year so with the exception of an anticipated solid September and October, the sales numbers will begin to fall when the white fluffy stuff arrives.


The slow and steady mantra continues to hold true across the city with higher sales numbers and lower new listings, however there is a distinct market split as most of the improvement is for homes priced under the $500k mark.


There are a lot of moving pieces that make up the health of the real estate market and the economy in general and if we continue on the track we’re on the market should continue to move closer to balanced conditions.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - AUGUST 2019 STATISTICS


The Dalhousie sales numbers cooled off slightly from the heights of June and July but still posted a respectable 11 sales in August.  We generally do see things taper off as everybody gets into the back-to-school and back-to-work swing of things.


The mix of resale properties was quite different in August as there were no row house or duplex transactions as the with 5 single family home and 6 apartment condominium sales.


The number of active MLS listings remains almost unchanged at 41 compared to 40 last month so based on another solid month the running sales average from the past half year works out to another drop in the months of available inventory that now sits at 3.79.  One note to keep in mind however is that we have passed what are traditionally the busiest months of the year so with the exception of an anticipated solid September and October, the sales numbers will begin to fall when the white fluffy stuff arrives.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties decreased slightly as well at 48.09 days for all sales and there were only 2 properties that spent more than 100 days on the market.  Looking at each category the detached single-family home DOM was 52.6 days and apartment condominiums were a much improved 44.3 days.


The slow and steady mantra continues to hold true across the city with higher sales numbers and lower new listings, however there is a distinct market split as most of the improvement is for homes priced under the $500k mark.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - JULY 2019 STATISTICS


We had yet another solid month in July and even pushed slightly ahead of the stellar June sales numbers with 17 completed transactions.  The row house condominium and semi-detached/duplex sales numbers were at almost the same levels as June while the detached single-family home and apartment condominium sales switched places with 6 SFH sales compared to 9 in June and 6 apartment sales up from just 3 the month before.


The number of active MLS listings also improved dropping to 40 from 49 which based on the running sales average from the past half year works out to a much improved 4.21 months of available inventory.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties decreased slightly which is nice to see coming in at 51.47 days for all sales although we still had a few sold properties spend over 100 days on the market.  Looking at each category the detached single-family home DOM was 43.83 days, semi-detached/duplex was 8 days based on just 1 sale, row house condominium was 49.50 days and apartment condominium was the highest at 67.67 days.


Overall in Calgary we are still seeing numbers trend in the right direction compared to the same time last year with total MLS sales up by 6.4% for the month and the active inventory down by a fairly large margin at 17.3%.  The oversupply has continued to slowly ease and is keeping a bit of a lid on price decreases however pricing levels are still just under 4% lower across all property categories compared to 2018.


I know we run the risk of sounding like a broken record (large round vinyl things with grooves that play music for anyone under 35) but despite some gradual improvement in the sales numbers year over year, sellers must continue to be extremely competitive and realistic with both list prices and expected final sale prices and on the buyer side, solid value opportunities are still plentiful.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - JULY 2019 STATISTICS

The number of active listings took a turn with 60 active properties on the MLS compared to 52 which based on the running sales average from the past half year works out to a slightly higher 4.19 months of available inventory.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties decreased which is nice to see coming in at 68.88 days for all sales although we still had a few sold properties spend over 100 days on the market, 1 detached home sale and 3 of the 6 apartment condominium sales.  Looking at each category the detached single-family home DOM was 56.91 days and apartment condominiums came in under 100 days for the first time since April at 90.83 days.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - JUNE 2019 STATISTICS


We finally had the first solid month of 2019 in June with the highest number of sales over the past 10 months, led largely by an increase in detached single-family home transactions which increased to 9 from just 2 in May.


The number of active listings edged slightly higher from 47 to 49 currently, however with the vastly improved June sales numbers the amount of available inventory fell to 6.39 months compared to a rather bloated 8.06 months in May, based on the running sales average from the past half year.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties were also lower in 3 of the 4 property categories and overall dropped from 94.89 days in May to 56.63 days in June; a positive sign for the community as we saw just 3 of the sales with DOM numbers over 100.


The slow and steady mantra continued in June across the City and even with a 6% decrease in the number of sales compared to last year we saw some positive larger picture numbers with a 19% reduction in the number of new listings and a 13% decrease in the amount of active inventory. The oversupply has continued to ease and is slowing the decline in prices, if this trend continues it will ultimately lead to a more balanced Calgary market.


As we have indicated for the past number of months sellers must continue to be extremely competitive and realistic with both list prices and expected final sale prices and on the buyer side, good value opportunities are still plentiful.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - JUNE 2019 STATISTICS


We had another solid month in June with the highest number of sales in the past 10 months and we also saw a decent drop in active inventory to go along with it. There were 19 completed transactions in June, 16 detached home sales and 3 apartment condominium sales.


As mentioned, the number of listings fell compared to last month as there are currently 52 properties for sale in the community which based on the running sales average from the past half year works out to 3.85 months of available inventory…a number that is certainly trending in a healthier direction.


The average Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties hovered somewhat around the same levels as last month with the detached homes trending higher and the apartments heading slightly lower. The average DOM for the apartments is still high overall coming in at 128.67 days down from 139.67 in May while the DOM for the detached homes was 76.31 days up from 49.13 last month as it seemed the homes either sold in very short order or lingered for months.


The slow and steady mantra continued in June across the City and even with a 6% decrease in the number of sales compared to last year we saw some positive larger picture numbers with a 19% reduction in the number of new listings and a 13% decrease in the amount of active inventory.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - MAY 2019 STATISTICS


Coinciding with a slow and steady improvement with the year over year sales numbers for Calgary as a whole, we have also seen some improvement in the Dalhousie numbers with 9 completed transactions compared to 6 sales in 3 of the last 4 months.  Detached home sales slipped from 4 in April to just 2 in May however we saw improvement in all other property categories.


With much of the long standing inventory finally coming off the market and with the wide variance we can see with these smaller sample groups we have some inflated average Days on Market (DOM) numbers this month; 4 of the 9 sales spent over 130 days on the market with the longest listing hitting 228 days.


The inventory finally showed some improvement as well, there are currently 47 properties listed compared to 51 last month which works out to a 5.83 sales per month average over the past 6 months and puts the current active inventory level at 8.06 months based on this running sales average.


As mentioned, we saw an uptick for the second straight month in year over year transactions in Calgary with 1,937 this May compared to 1,733 in May of 2018.  We have also seen the new listing numbers come down so hopefully the market stays on track and this marks the beginning of the long-awaited recovery.


We have a way to go to get back to balanced conditions so sellers must continue to be very realistic with pricing while excellent value is still out there for active buyers.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - MAY 2019 STATISTICS


Coinciding with a slow and steady improvement with the year over year sales numbers for Calgary as a whole, we have also seen continued improvement in the Lake Bonavista numbers with 18 completed transactions compared to 14 in April.  Detached home sales increased from 10 to 15 while apartment sales dropped just slightly from 4 last month to 3 in May.


The overall monthly Days on Market (DOM) number was higher this month which was once again strongly influenced by the high apartment DOM numbers…however the more important stat was the inventory level which inched lower and the current active inventory that dropped sharply from 6.29 months of supply to 5.39 based on the running 6 month average.


As mentioned, we saw an uptick for the second straight month in year over year transactions in Calgary with 1,937 this May compared to 1,733 in May of 2018.  We have also seen the new listing numbers come down so hopefully the market stays on track and this marks the beginning of the long-awaited recovery.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - APRIL 2019 STATISTICS


We had another strong month for sales in the community with 14 completed transactions which is also the most sales in a calendar month in the past half year…promising news overall.  The inventory continues to creep up but only slightly with 65 current listings compared to 59 last month which works out to 6.29 months of available inventory, a number that still leaves us in buyer’s market territory despite the increase in sales.


We made one deletion when calculating the Days on Market (DOM) numbers for the sold properties by removing one apartment sale that spent a whopping 417 days on the MLS as it drastically skewed the apartment DOM from the 50.33 posted to 142 days, which is not indicative of the current market conditions.  The overall DOM numbers dropped slightly with the high listing removed coming in at 38.46 days compared to 45.89 in March.


When looking at Calgary as a whole we continue to see positive signs with higher year over year sales numbers accompanied by lower new listing numbers, a trend that we hope continues as we work towards more balanced market conditions.


While we are on the road to stabilization, sellers must continue to be extremely competitive and very realistic with both list prices and expected final sale prices and on the buyer side of the ledger excellent value opportunities still exist.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - APRIL 2019 STATISTICS


April was almost a carbon copy of March as we had 6 completed sales in the community once again, the days on market numbers improved dramatically as 4 of the 6 sales finalized in 22 days or less with the longest days on market coming in at a respectable 52 days.  4 of the sales were detached single family homes once again to go along with 1 row house sale (5400 Dalhousie) and 1 apartment sale (Vista View); we had no semi-detached/duplex sales during the month.


The active inventory level also increased slightly from 42 to 51 properties as we continue to see the spring market build…hopefully to be accompanied by some healthier sales numbers in the months to come.  Based on the rolling average from the past 6 months, which now sees the high October sales numbers drop out of the range, there is currently 9.86 months of inventory on the market which is still very much slanted in the buyers’ favour.


When looking at Calgary as a whole we continue to see positive signs with higher year over year sales numbers accompanied by lower new listing numbers, a trend that we hope continues as we work towards more balanced market conditions.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - MARCH 2019 STATISTICS


We have seen some improvement in the Dalhousie real estate market compared to February with 6 completed sales this past month, the uptick was expected and with the arrival of warm weather we expect to see the trend continue.


The days on market numbers are again quite interesting as we had 3 very quick sales that were completed in less than 21 days while the other 3 sales averaged 164 days on the market so both ends of the spectrum were represented in March.  4 of the sales were detached single family homes and the other 2 were duplex properties; we had no row house or apartment sales during the month.


The inventory also rose and is currently sitting at 42 properties right now…again this is to be expected as the spring market officially begins which generally marks the beginning of our highest inventory period of the calendar year.  Based on the rolling sales average from the past 6 months this works out to 6.15 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, Dalhousie 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.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - MARCH 2019 STATISTICS


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.

Dalhousie Real Estate Update - FEB 2019


The slow start to the year here in Dalhousie continues as we had just 3 completed sales in the month of February…and the properties that did sell had been listed on the market for a very loooong time.


As a result the Days on Market (DOM) number is rather skewed this month, coming in at a bloated 360 days with the 3 sales having been listed for 293, 177 & 610 (yes, not a typo…610!) days respectively.


The good news is the overall inventory has remained steady with 31 active properties which is good news at this point. Depending on what date range you take into account, the months of available inventory number varies dramatically.  When you look at the past 6 months there was an average of 8.17 properties sold per month which would work out to 3.79 months of available inventory which isn’t to shabby but when you look at the slow sales over the past 3 chilly months there were just 4.67 sales per month which would then work out to 6.64 months of available inventory which would point to a firm buyer’s market.


We by no means have a crystal ball to rely on however our feeling is that there is likely a happy medium between the 2 and we should start to see some additional activity with the arrival of warmer weather (finally) and the emergence of previously hibernating buyers.


So what does these numbers all mean to you?  They mean that sellers in Dalhousie still need to be extremely competitive and starkly realistic with their list prices and expected final sale prices and on the other end of the spectrum options continue to abound for buyers looking to call our community home.

Lake Bonavista Real Estate Update - FEB 2019


Despite a very chilly month of February that saw many buyers hibernate and stay home, the sales numbers remained relatively healthy to continue what has been a decent start to 2019.


The overall Days on Market (DOM) number crept higher last month, however it is primarily due to one apartment sale that had been listed for a total of 367 days, without this property in the mix the monthly DOM number would be a very respectable 59.13 days.  The inventory level also increased slightly since the beginning of the month with 48 listings currently on the market which works out to 5.05 months of available inventory based on the rolling 6 month community average.


The numbers in Lake Bonavista remain steady although not spectacular; we have seen a number of zero-day sales where properties have sold before hitting the public MLS or had buyers coming to the table immediately while others that have continued to linger on the market.


So what do these numbers mean to you?  They mean that depending on what type of property you are looking to sell or buy the marketplace can vary drastically.  If you are thinking of making a move don’t hesitate to contact us and we will provide you with the insight and advice you need to navigate the community marketplace.

Birchwood Transit Oriented Development - Resident Feedback


There are a number of new developments planned for Dalhousie as we get ready to grow and add amenities and new neighbours to our great community.


The successful integration of these projects relies on input from residents and the constructive feedback to date has resulted in a number of improvements to the permit drawings for the Birchwood Transit Oriented Development at the corner of Dalhousie Drive NW and Dalton Drive NW.


Your opportunity to provide feedback is here as the DCA Planning & Development Committee is scheduled to submit additional comments to City planners regarding the revisions.  Feedback needs to be submitted by Tuesday, September 25, 2018 and can be emailed to admin@dalhousiecalgary.ca.


SEPTEMBER 13 UPDATE FROM THE DCA WEBSITE:


On August 30, 2018, Birchwood submitted revised Development Permit drawings to City planners to address feedback received from the City and the Dalhousie Community Association. These plans are available for viewing at the community center during regular office hours until September 25th.


On September 13, 2018, the DCA Planning & Development Committee met with the Birchwood team where they provided an overview of their design revisions. A summary of the major changes includes:

  • Added a 2-storey podium (street level) feature along Dalhousie Drive to improve the pedestrian scale;
  • Incorporated additional restaurant and retail uses on the Dalhousie Drive (Building B) main floor;
  • Added a main entrance from Dalhousie Drive public sidewalk directly into the building to enhance pedestrian activity;
  • Revised the internal plaza design to allow direct connections from the Dalton Drive bus stop through the site to the adjacent park and LRT station;
  • Improved separation between vehicular and pedestrian movements to reduce potential conflict and to improve connectivity;
  • Reduced surface parking and hard surface/concrete area (adjacent to Building B interfacing the internal plaza); increased soft landscaping throughout the site.

The updated drawings can be found below and for more information on the project and the timeline of the process to date, visit the DCA website by clicking on the link below.
