A recent report shows there are a record number of unsold, completed new homes in the Edmonton area (7.5% above the previous record). This is due to a tough labour market, stagnant wages, higher mortgage rates and tougher federal mortgage rules, and all those factors are impacting the resale market as well. My initial looks at the Edmonton real estate market in February shows single-family homes sales were down 1.4% from last February, and below average for this time of year - 499 homes were reported sold in February: Condo sales were down 7% from last February and the lowest level we've seen in at least 10 years - 214 condos were reported sold in February: The average price of single-family homes was down 3.6% to $419,174 and the median price was…

If your family has outgrown your current house, you might be considering a big change. Or, maybe you want that luxurious master suite, a third bathroom or an additional family room.

Our preliminary look at the real estate market in Edmonton in January shows sales and prices down, after an extended period of higher than normal inventory and lower than normal demand. 369 single family homes were reported sold in Edmonton in January, down 15% from last January.
