Edmonton, AUGUST 4, 2015: Prices for all residential properties in the Edmonton for July were down from the previous month
.
The average all residential price was $372,910 (down 1.4% from June) due mostly to the drop in price of single family homes to $436,948 (down 1.8%). The drop was not felt across all categories with condo prices up 0.4% at an average of $256,708 and duplex/rowhouse prices up 1.4% from June at an average of $356,237.
While all residential average prices were down month over month, they still remained 3.3% higher than July of last year.

With reported all residential sales in July down 9.8% from June and down 2.8% from last year, average days on market is up to 50.
This is up from 46 average days on market in July 2014.
Single family dwellings spent an average of 48 days on market in July of 2015, duplex/rowhouses were at 43 days, and condos at 54 days.
“We have seen the biggest drop in condominium sales year to date at 14%. That drop coupled with an increase of condo listings of 17% explains why condos are taking longer on average to sell.

Some of these buyers may be moving over to duplex/townhouse options which is the only residential category showing an increase of sales of 6% year to date.”

There were 73 properties over a million dollars sold by this time last year, the exact same number as this year.
Inventory is still strong at 7,226 for the Edmonton CMA at the end of July 2015, up slightly from 7,177 in June and much higher than the 5,609 available in July of 2014.

All residential listings were up year over year by 14.9% but down month over month from June by 2.2%.

Residential sales in Edmonton’s Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) are beginning to pick up with 1,597 in April 2015. That is up 10% from 1,453 in March but still down 13% from April 2014. Reported reported sales are up for duplex/rowhouse – which are up this month over 24%. Single family sales were 1,001 – down 13% over last April (1,147 reported). Condos took the biggest hit down 20% over last year with 432 sold.

Despite a decline in all residential sales, the average sale price was $337,270 up 3% from April last year. Single family dwellings sold for an average of $438,641 (up 2% from last April), condos for $252,935 (up 0.2% y/y) and duplex/rowhouses were $356,022 (up 7.23% y/y).

The end of month residential active inventory was 6,784 for the Edmonton CMA. April residential new listings were up 11% from last year at 3,298.  Average days on market were 44 compared to just 42 in April 2014.

 January 5, 2015: Sales of residential property through the Edmonton Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System in 2014 in the Edmonton CMA were over 11 percent higher than in 2013, exceeding growth expectations by a large margin. This increase was reflected across all property types including a 9.8% increase in sales of single family detached properties, an over 11% increase in condo sales and a 25.4% increase in duplex and rowhouse sales. There were 18,991 residential sales reported in 2014 as compared to 17,077 in 2013.

Prices were also up compared to 2013, with single family homes finishing the year 5.6% higher over last year at an average of $432,713. For 2014, the average price of a condo was $252,175 (up 4.5% from 2013) and the average price of all residential properties was $367,228 (up 5.2% from 2013).

2014 was a very busy year for your local REALTOR®. Edmonton and the surrounding areas experienced a great increase in volume of sales, but also a healthy increase in price. We did not see the sudden spikes in prices that we saw in 2007, but we did surpass the single family record price in March of 2014. An increase in newly built affordable condos and multifamily units coupled with historically low mortgage rates encouraged new buyers into the market. We also saw great migration into the province and a very tight rental market. These factors all play into a very active market in 2014.

The all-year sales-to-listing ratio was 70% (up 2% from 2013) with average days-on-market at 47 days (down from 53 last year). The active market was highlighted by a year-end inventory of just 3,059 properties, a similar number to the end of last year (3,049).

As is seasonally normal, prices and sales dropped in December from November, but are up year over year from December 2013 in all categories. The price of a single family detached property dropped 3.3% from $444,312 in November to $429,470 in December. Condo prices dropped 3.4% in December to $247,099 while duplex/row house prices increased slightly from November to $355,978.  December all-residential unadjusted sales were exactly the same as 2013 at 770 and down almost 38% from last month.

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.

OTTAWA, February 28, 2014 — Following the annual review of its insurance products and capital requirements, CMHC will increase its mortgage loan insurance premiums for homeowner and 1 – 4 unit rental properties effective May 1, 2014.

The increase applies to mortgage loan insurance premiums for owner occupied, self-employed and 1-to-4 unit rental properties, including low-ratio refinance premiums. This does not apply to mortgages currently insured by CMHC.

For the average Canadian homebuyer requiring CMHC insured financing, the higher premium will result in an increase of approximately $5 to their monthly mortgage payment. This is not expected to have a material impact on the housing market.

Effective May 1^st, CMHC Purchase (owner occupied 1 – 4 unit) mortgage insurance premiums will increase by approximately 15%, on average, for all loan-to-value ranges.

CMHC reviews its premiums on an annual basis and, going forward, plans to announce decisions on premiums in the first quarter of each year.

Average sales prices are the highest they have been in five years,Combined with the highest sales numbers since 2012, we have year-to-date residential sales values totaling $4.8 million.

The September sales-to-listing ratio of 65% was the result of 2,089 residential listings and 1,357 residential sales.

Edmonton, November 2, 2012: Even with ghosts, ghouls, and goblins running through the streets, homeowners could find refuge in the local housing market. The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton reports that housing prices in October were up compared to a year ago and are the highest in October in the past five years. The all residential average price for the Edmonton Multiple Listing Service® was up 0.6% at $324,924 when compared to October 2011. The average price of a single family detached home was $372,061 up 2.1% over a year ago.

Homesellers are pleased that their property may be worth more than it has been in the past five years but homebuyers can plan their financing in an environment of small, steady price increases. The housing market is be-deviled in other centres but here in Edmonton both buyers and sellers find it heavenly. The pace of sales is steady, prices increase year-over-year, there is sufficient inventory and average days-on-market is reasonable.

REALTORS® listed an average of 72 homes each day in October and sold an average of 44 per day. There were a total of 2,228 residential listings in October, with sales of 1,375 properties.

There was $447 million worth of residential property, $53 million of rural and $23 million of commercial property sold through the Edmonton MLS® in October.
