This is one of those times when the stats don't seem to match what is happening in reality. Yesterday, our brokerage held our first-ever "Liv Better Day": where we learned a ton, celebrated our award winners (we give out awards for customer service excellence, leadership, community involvement and teamwork, not sales), and ended the day with a charity challenge where we gave away $4500 to local charities. I had a chance to discuss the market with a lot of our agents, and the stories I kept hearing were of multiple offers. Well priced, well marketed listings are getting a lot of interest from buyers in the Edmonton area. 

When you glance at the numbers below, they seem to suggest the market is slow. But really, we're comparing what has started off as a…

My analysis of the Edmonton real estate market shows that things have normalized in January. Sales of single-family homes and condos dropped below what we've seen for the past two years but above the levels seen for the previous 7 years. Strong fundamentals are keeping sales above average in Edmonton, even with higher mortgage rates than we've become accustomed to over the past few years. Between July and September, Alberta saw the largest net gain from interprovincial migration since 1980, adding more than 19,000 people. The vacancy rate is low, and rents are on the rise. We are currently working with buyers that are choosing to move for a variety of reasons - out-of-towners, first-time buyers that finally found something they like, homeowners running…

The greater Edmonton area real estate market remains balanced, with just over 5 months of inventory. The benchmark price has remained stable again this month, declining just under 1%, while sales dropped 26% compared to last year. Sales are still slightly higher than they usually are at this time of year and higher than we saw before the pandemic. Inventory has risen 11% over last year but remains in the normal range. 

City of Edmonton Stats

Single Family home sales have decreased from last year and are now at pre-pandemic levels, while condo sales have increased over last year.
