CALGARY - Luxury sales in Calgary’s resale housing market continue to boom at record levels.
A new monthly record for MLS sales of properties over $1 million was set in July - the seventh consecutive month - and the 80 transactions brought year-to-date sales at the end of the month to 542, which is an increase of 18 per cent compared with the same period last year, according to realtor Mike Fotiou, associate broker with First Place Realty in Calgary.
Last year, the city set a record with 727 luxury home sales for the entire year.
