At least a third of condos and houses on the market in Calgary are vacant, prompting concern from a real estate agent that sellers aren't being realistic about the price they hope to get for their properties.5 L3 G+ g v4 v# o. l

Housing prices soared 38 per cent in Calgary in 2006, with the average price for a single-family home at $396,870. In 2005, prices went up 18 per cent.

But as a new year begins, the Calgary Real Estate Board said the vacancy rate in listed houses has reached 33 per cent, while in condos it is at 40 per cent.

McNaughton said sellers with vacant properties may have bought in hopes of reselling, or recently moved to newly built homes. The next two weeks will say a lot about the 2007 market, she said, with sellers either pulling their properties off the market to rent them, or lowering their prices.1 t- U n' ?/ H2 D

Clients unwilling to drop their prices are banking on the possibility that the market will again get red hot, McNaughton said.
