I am an optimist and with all things considered, I think we may see a small correction or possibly flat market in the next few months to come.

The residential inventory has been rising for a while now and number of sales is slightly lower in June. These two factors are definitely adding pressure to the sellers who may be inclined to lower the price in order to sell. While supply of homes and condos in the Great Edmonton real estate market is increasing, the prices so far remain almost unchanged. Sooner than later, something has to give. Also, Bank of Canada just increased the rates again which is definitely not helping current situation. On the positive note, we still have a stable economy and Edmonton's housing market which is rather inexpensive compared to other cities.

Looking at the April's and the last few months numbers, one can only wonder if the current conditions and stats are indication of a stagnant Edmonton housing market to come. The increase in the residential inventory, average "days on market" and lower number of sales (except in April) compared to the past few years, definitely point towards it.  If we look at the current condition of our economy, rising interest rates and tougher mortgage rules, combined with record high personal debt, I think it may be a while before we will see any sight of expansion and increases in pricing. On a positive note, we all have to live somewhere and there are always buyers looking to buy that first dream home, move or down size!
