Market begins seasonal cool off a little later this year

November 4th, 2014 by irinamierzewski

The Edmonton area has been blessed with a beautiful fall and the local housing market has followed the weather trend. The fall months always tend to be a quieter market, but this year sales remained strong a little longer than usual. Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) total residential average prices remain stable (up 8.5% over last year) thanks in part to an incline in sales of higher priced houses.

The seasonal slide is reflected in the dip in single family sales, down 12% from last month at 850 sold (918 adjusted).  While still up almost 8% from last year, single family prices dipped down from $436,870 in September to $426,848 in October, a difference of 2.3%.

With an average price of $260,491, condos actually gained a bit of momentum going up 2.6% month-over-month and 9.75% year-over-year. Duplex/row house prices were also up month-over-month at $352,907.

In October, 2,049 residential properties were listed which is up 18.6% from last year. 1,412 were reported sold (1,525 adjusted) in the Edmonton CMA. Total days on market for all residential properties were down 3 days over October of 2013.

The demand for single family homes in the $350,000 to $400,000 remains high with 185 properties selling in this range in October. However, inventory is tight at the $350,000 to $400,000 mark with only 227 available properties available as of October 31. We have seen a lot of action this year in houses under $400,000. People may need to adjust their expectations when looking at houses in this range. There is a big demand for properties at this price point and with a light inventory, you may need to wait a bit longer to find the right house for you.

Another “hot” market is houses priced over a million dollars. We have seen this trend throughout 2014. Almost 2% of the single family dwellings sold last month were over a million dollars. Compare that to last October where less than one quarter of 1% of the sales were over a million. 125 million dollar plus homes have sold in 2014 compared to 94 at this same time last year and 75 in 2012.

Single Family

Sales of single family homes were down from year-ago levels in all but the highest price range in the first quarter of 2014.

Sales rose 11 per cent for single family properties priced above $475,000 compared to the previous first quarter.

In contrast, sales dropped 54 per cent for homes priced below $250,000 and declined more than 10 per cent in price ranges between $250,000 and $400,000.

Inventories were generally much lower compared to a year earlier, leading to a tighter market across all price ranges. Homes in the range from $250,000 to $325,000 represented the tightest segment of the market for single family homes in the first quarter.

 

 

Fall Maintains Summer Heat in Edmonton Market

October 2nd, 2014 by irinamierzewski

 

 Reports of the impending burst of the so called “housing bubble” have homeowners looking closer at housing prices this month. While it makes for an exciting story, the numbers just don’t back up the claim. Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) continues to see the stable market we have enjoyed over the past few years.

The steady gain year-over-year in housing prices is reflective of a stable and strong market. Average prices, listings, and sales are all up from September of last year. The average days on market for residential properties remained the same as August at 49 (down from 54 days the same time last year). While inventory is still down 6% from September 2013.

The average price for a single family dwelling (SFD) in Edmonton  in September stayed strong at $435,584 (down a mere 0.04% from August). Condos were down 3% month over month at an average selling price of $254,494. Duplex/row house prices were up 0.3% to $350,983 and the total residential average price was up 0.8% from August at $372,673.

In September, 2,193 residential properties were listed and 1,568 were reported sold (1,693 adjusted). Single family dwelling reported sales were up 4.7% from last month at 967 (1,044 adjusted) while condos were down 3.6% at 452 (488 adjusted).

We normally see a decrease in sales and average price when fall arrives. The strong market we saw in August continued on into September with surprisingly little to no changes in prices. There is a false idea out there that people only buy houses in the spring and summer. People buy and sell their houses when the time is right for them. Consulting with your Russian Ukrainian speaking  local REALTOR – Irina Mierzewski  –  is the best way to see if the time is right for you.

The number of homes listed for sale in September was 8% higher than the same month last year. The sales-to-listing ratio was 72%: up from 67% last month.

Мой город- ВЛАДИКАВКАЗ! My city – Vladikavkaz!

The city was founded in 1784[7] as a fortress during the Russian conquest of the Caucasus and was for many years the main Russian military base in the region.

The Georgian Military Highway, crossing the mountains, was constructed in 1799 to link the city with Georgia to the south, and in 1875 a railway was built to connect it to Rostov-on-Don andBaku in Azerbaijan. Vladikavkaz has become an important industrial center for the region, with smelting, refining, chemiphone irina sep 22 2014 107icals and manufacturing industries.

From 1931 to 1944 and from 1954 to 1990, its name in both Russian and Ossetic languages was Ordzhonikidze (Орджоники́дзе) (afterSergo Ordzhonikidze, a Georgian Bolshevik), and from 1944 to 1954 it was officially called Dzaudzhikau (Дзауджика́у) in Russian andDzæwdžyqæw (Дзæуджыхъæу) in Ossetic. Vladikavkaz resumed its old Russian name, in 1990, shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union; the official Ossetic name was reverted to Dzæwdžyqæw.

Vladikavkaz was fought over in both the Russian Civil War and World War II. In February 1919, the anti-Communist Volunteer Army under General Anton Denikin seized the city, before being expelled by the Red Army in March 1920. In November 1942, the forces of Nazi Germany tried unsuccessfully to seize the city but were repelled.

In 19992008, and 2010, Vladikavkaz was a target of bombings.
