"The market place is very good right now, but it has slowed down over the last three or four months," said Stanners. "It's beginning to move more towards a buyers' market but even still, sellers are still getting much more today than they were this time last year."

In fact, the median price of single-family homes in Calgary remained 9.68% higher in September than the same month last year. The number of single-family homes on the market jumped 5.15%, but sales slipped 19.03% in September from August, CREB figures say.

The pattern was identical in the condominium market, where more supply and fewer sales also resulted in more affordable prices.
