Just a few short months ago, Calgary's residential real estate market was described in the following terms -- red-hot, scorching, sizzling, frenzied, chaotic.

"The market is still very strong, but I think buyers are having a better negotiating tool to go in there because there's more homes to choose from. There are options out there and getting a better deal it's higher for them now than it was in the past. We're not seeing the multiple offers anymore.
