The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton has released their monthly report on the Greater Edmonton real estate market for November, so I've updated our monthly report (original Edmonton stats are at the end of this post). Residential sales were up 12.42% over last November, which the Association attributes to the upcoming mortgage rule changes. While I agree the rule changes are likely part of the equation, I think rising interest rates (and expiring rate holds) are also a factor, as is the growing population, and the improving economy. Here's our snapshot of the Greater Edmonton Real Estate market, followed by our monthly charts:
