Calgary house prices sank $10,000 last month, the fourth decline in a row as inventory jumped and sales slumped, according to statistics released yesterday.

The median price of homes, the middle value of homes sold, fell to $420,500 last month, down from $430,000 in August, said the Calgary Real Estate Board in its monthly housing sales report.

"The market place is very good right now, but it has slowed down over the last three or four months," said Stanners. "It's beginning to move more towards a buyers' market but even still, sellers are still getting much more today than they were this time last year."

In fact, the median price of single-family homes in Calgary remained 9.68% higher in September than the same month last year. The number of single-family homes on the market jumped 5.15%, but sales slipped 19.03% in September from August, CREB figures say.

The pattern was identical in the condominium market, where more supply and fewer sales also resulted in more affordable prices.
