The Edmonton market is still healthy, and stats are continuing to favor the sellers with overall residential unit sales decreasing only -8.3% compared to July 2022 and year-over-year decrease of -12% . Overall, it is important to keep in mind that Alberta has a lot of positives. High net migration, tech and renewables are industries that are ramping up, keeping our unemployment rates at an all time low.
A seller’s market is temporary. When a seller is ready to sell and move on to their next home, there is no time like the present for predictability since markets in Alberta are forever shifting. The very best way to stay current on local real estate trends is to have a candid conversation with a REALTOR and not to make the mistake of trying to time the market. If you are thinking of making a move, please reach out to me with any questions to help you get prepared. Fall is a beautiful time to have your home photographed.
