Busy December Real Estate Market in Edmonton
Posted by Liv Real Estate on
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. Unlike many other markets in Canada, new listings also increased (although not as much as sales) so the upward pressure on prices was not as great in the Edmonton area as it was in Calgary and other markets. I will post a market forecast after the REALTORS Association of Edmonton Housing Forecast on January 19, it will be interesting to hear what the experts have to say about the economy and housing market. I will update this post with the Greater Edmonton Area stats when the REALTORS® Association of…

You know, some things just seem so simple… Take the following question, for example; Does GST apply to the sale of your home?
You’d assume the answer would be a simple and straightforward “No, there’s no GST on a resale home.”
LOL…Assumptions are dangerous. (I’m sure I’ve said this before.)
The actual answer is a much more complex “Maybe. Actually, generally no, but possibly.”
You must be thinking, “wait, what?”
The fact of the matter is the only one who can answer this is you or your accountant. It’s all based on how you’ve filed your taxes, so every case is different.
For example, if you own an acreage and run a business on it or lease a portion of to, let’s say, a cell tower or an oil well, you may have obligations to pay GST on the sale of your…
Interesting times in the Edmonton real estate market for sure... sales of all property types were well ahead of the past few years, and while single-family prices were up, condo prices are still lagging due to higher than normal supply. The biggest real estate related news this month comes from the Bank of Canada, which gave a surprise warning last week that rates are going to rise significantly next year. We often see an increase in demand before rate hikes, followed, of course, by lower demand. This could move the spring market earlier next year since the hikes will begin in April.
I will update this post when the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton releases their monthly report on the market later this week.
