Buyers almost always include a home inspection condition when they make an offer on a house. The purpose of a home inspection is for the buyer to have a clear picture of what they're buying, so they are aware of the home's condition and get a good idea of what expenses they will face for maintenance and repairs. Buyers shouldn't expect any property to be perfect, and they shouldn't look at the home inspection as a re-negotiation tool. Still, in some cases, they will ask for concessions from the seller based on the inspection report. According to this American study, 29% of sellers either make minor repairs or reduce the sale price to close the deal.

In the past, I've mentioned that Alberta's net migration was negative in Q2 2020 for the first time since the 80's, and it looks like Q3 was still negative but started heading in the…
Good morning! The REALTORS® Forecast is back and I'm liveblogging the event. Things moved really quickly so I've edited the disaster I created during the event. The forecast takes place every year and features guest speakers who give forecasts on the local, national and global economy. There always seems to be a blizzard during the forecast, so luckily this year I got to attend from the comfort of home. I am thoroughly enjoying the snowstorm now taking place outside my windows.

The real estate market finished out the year strong with the most sales we've seen in the Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) in December since 2007. After a rocky start, total sales in 2020 finished 3% ahead of 2019, with single-family homes in the communities outside of Edmonton - particularly St. Albert and Sherwood Park - seeing the largest gains. The benchmark price for single-family homes was up 4.1% compared to last December, while apartment-style condos continued to see declines (3.5% down from last year).
The REALTORS Association of Edmonton® will hold their annual forecast on January 13 and will include a forecast from Benjamin Tal of CIBC World Markets Inc., who happens to be my favourite economist, and I will be liveblogging the event right here.…
