- mortgage rates are on the rise, as they climb, sales should cool
- inflation is making everything more expensive, which may push prices up, especially for new construction

- our unemployment rate is still very high
- if the vaccine works, people will start to travel and there will be less interest in local real estate.Â









Edmonton Stats
The single-family home market in Edmonton is still very hot; there were a record number of single-family home sales in May (at least since I started keeping track in 2005). Single-family home prices also set a new record average price of $457,440 (the previous high was $457,041 in June, 2017). With interest rates rising, we expect to see things cooling off soon. Condo sales have already cooled off - 364 condos were reported sold in May which is roughly the same number we've seen for the last five years in May with the exception of last year which was extremely low due to Covid.



Fantastic! Our economy, thanks to low interest rates, is starting to crush it! And next year should be ANOTHER white hot year as we continue to recover! Edmonton is soon going to be THE place to live in Canada. I think that we will be over $600,000 for an average detached by 2024.
