Calgary's Home Resale Market Conditions Tighten in November, Says National Bank

07:11 AM EST, 12/02/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Based on data from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) for the Calgary economic region, National Bank said its preliminary estimate indicates that seasonally adjusted home sales edged up 1.8% from October to November, a deceleration from the 4.1% gain recorded the prior month.

The uptick in resale market activity comes amid back-to-back rate cuts by the Bank of Canada in September and October.

The strengthening of the labor market may have also provided some support, but it remains to be seen if the coming months confirm the rebound, noted the bank.

Looking ahead, the uncertain economic backdrop, given the absence of a trade agreement between Canada and the United States, could keep some potential buyers on the sidelines, stated National Bank.

This is amplified by the BoC's recent signal that it intends to suspend its easing cycle for the moment, along with a slowdown in population growth, added the bank.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
