Calgary Neighbourhoods with Most New Listings
The way to find your dream home in the best neighbourhoods in Calgary is to keep an eye on which have the most new listings and how long they are on the market. The northwest area of the city is where many Calgarians want to live. However, the prices are a little higher. The views and quality of life in NW Calgary is very attractive. If you're investigating Calgary now, you should know that NW Calgary is highly residential with lots of park space and it's the closest to the Rocky Mountains. This is where the University of Calgary is located, Market Mall, and the LRT runs up through the area. NW Calgary has a lot going for it for families with lots of schools and recreational facilities.
Last month, July 2011, Country Hills, Arbour Lake, Citadel, Bowness, Beddington, Coventry Hills, Edgemont, Evanston, Royal Oak, Tuscany, and Panorama Hills saw the greatest increase in new listings. Have a look at their July Stats below and don't forget to have us send you reports on newly listed homes. You really do want to be first to see them and get a bid in. If they are overpriced and on the market a long time, you may be able to get that dream home ahead of other buyers who are persistent about getting the price down.

As you can see, some neighbourhoods have homes listed for quite some time. That doesn't necessarily mean they're overpriced or the house condition is poor or that the neighbourhood isn't nice. We can tell you why specific homes don't sell and how you should bid on them.
