According to the latest data \u2014 Canada\u2019s most comprehensive and timely measure of home prices \u2014 national home prices declined by 4% on a year-over-year basis in April. That marks the sharpest annual drop recorded by the index since July 2023 and a slightly steeper decline than in March, when prices were down 3% annually.<\/span><\/p>\n


\u201cMore markets across Canada are displaying buyer-friendly signs, though affordability remains a concern nearly across the board,\u201d says RPS-Wahi Economist Ryan McLaughlin.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n


Calgary\u2019s shift into negative territory follows a period of rapid growth. \u201cCalgary began last year with a boom as prices were soaring by upwards of 10%,\u201d says McLaughlin. \u201cIn this context, the latest price declines in the market are negligible,\u201d he continues.<\/span><\/p>\n
