The real estate market was busier than I expected in July in Edmonton. Nearly every one of our agents reported being in multiple offer situations on more than one occasion in the month of July. There are a number of stats that suggest the bottom of the current market cycle was a couple of months ago... Sales are up 20% over last July while inventory is down 10%. The absorption rate is at 4.73 months - the lowest it's been in two years. While prices are still down on a year over year basis, the benchmark price is down 3% compared to last year, while the past few months it was down 4-4.5%. Here is our monthly infographic on the greater Edmonton real estate market: Looking at benchmark prices, you can get an apartment-style condo for 13% less and a townhouse for 11% less than you could five years ago while single-family homes are down about 4% in value:
