Today the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton released their monthly report on the Greater Edmonton Area real estate market in October saying: “We continue to see stability in the all-residential average and median prices, and this stability has been primarily due to strong sales of single family homes, which are a staple of our marketplace,” explains James Mabey, Chair of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton.
