Calgary’s luxury sales are declining, yet the segment\u0027s relative affordability in Calgary is generating steady interest.

What’s more, activity remains far above the 10-year average sales activity for Calgary’s $1 million-plus market, the report adds.

These are often buyers from the Greater Toronto Area where the average price of a home still exceeds $1 million. There, the luxury segment starts at $4 million, the Sotheby’s report notes. Yet Starnes cautions that threshold, after the last two years of strong activity, is now more like $1.5 million. “Many of the luxury homes selling are in Springbank, Elbow Valley, Stonepine,” she says. “These communities are about eight minutes out of the city, so they are essentially like the suburbs.”
