A record number of single-family homes were reported sold in January in Edmonton. 713 sales were reported, up 33% from last January and 10% from the previous record in 2007. Based on our weekly reports, I was expecting sales to be up compared to last year, but I wasn't expecting an increase of over 30%. Condo sales were up to the highest level seen since 2008; 267 condos were reported sold in Edmonton in January, up 45% from last year!

Well, it's that time of year when I get to try and predict what's going to happen with the real estate market and check back on last year's prediction. I attended the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton annual forecast last week and the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) forecast earlier today, and I have some interesting insights to share with you. But first, let's have a look at my prediction from last year:


"We don't expect the pace of sales to stay ahead of previous years for much longer, we're still dealing with pent-up demand due to extremely low-interest rates and people wanting more space for working and learning from home.

It was a busy December for real estate agents in Edmonton with more sales than we normally see during the holiday season. Higher than normal luxury sales brought the average price of single-family homes up, while the average price per square foot declined.
