Thank you for the stats. It would be helpful to separate the sales and listings for SFH and condos. These are two different markets, and clumping them makes the picture clear.

Also, I'd suggest noisy graph of the 4-week running average really doesn't add much, and perhaps gives the wrong impression. It is so prone to variation on random factors. For example, the SFH running average price is below the running average price in February. This means nothing really.

Is This a broad based increase or just a few million dollar homes sold? I think someone mentioned already maybe the mean would be a better stat indicator.

Oil prices went up but bad news came out of Saudi Arabia now they're going to pump more oil in the second half of the year. Looks like the downtrend for Edmonton real estate will resume after the blip upward.

The best indicator is the benchmark price, which is in the monthly report - https://www.livrealestate.ca/blog/2018/06/home-sales-pick-up-in-edmonton-in-may.html

I post the inventory of condos and single-family homes separately on occasion. The weekly report is really just a glimpse of what's going on, the monthly reports are more in-depth. I'm not sure what you would have me replace the running average with, I'm open to suggestions. The best indicator is the benchmark price in our monthly report - https://www.livrealestate.ca/blog/2018/06/home-sales-pick-up-in-edmonton-in-may.html - but I can only get the benchmark price on a monthly basis.

I think the blip up in May was caused by lowering the variable rate by many banks in both Edmonton and Calgary because I was following up day by day specially in Calgary and May started very weak till mid May then it started to reverse slowly. That coincided with the lower variable.

I also noticed this trend in other cities in other provinces. I just checked the rate and it's still low.

Scotiabank has stated that the number of mortgages they have approved this year compared to last year is down 50%. Yes. 50%

Welcome to socialist utopia.
