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."
