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 Edmonton releases the monthly stats package later this week.
