High River
High River sales have been somewhat dampened by weak levels of new listings. Gains in new listings in the first quarter helped support stronger sales compared to last year.However, the lack of new listings over the past three quarters has caused significant declines in inventories. The average inventory of less than 60 units in the first quarter is the lowest it has been since 2007.
Stronger sales and low inventories caused the months of supply to fall to just above two months, well below longer-term averages of over six months. Tight market conditions have been driving up prices in this market over the past several quarters.
By the end of the first quarter the benchmark price averaged $334,267, nearly three per cent higher than last quarter and five per cent higher than levels recorded last year. Price gains have been occurring across most product types, but prices remain below previous highs in all categories.
