2023 Market Update
Your Market Update
The upward trend continues 📈
We continue to see the upward pressure on pricing in our market. Last update we saw the single family home price top $500k for the first time this year ($501k), and now we’re at $512k (May numbers).
Months of inventory dropped down to 2.6 from 3.4 (anything under 4 months of inventory, which is our current inventory divided by that months sales – how many months at the current pace it would take to sell every home listed).
I also read this interesting article in The Owl by ATB economist Rob Roach that says Alberta is the fastest growing province in Canada with our interprovincial growth – and I can tell you the number of people contacting me about moving here from Ontario and BC (mainly BC) is quite high.
So, what does this all mean??
I THINK this means that we have quite a few good things going for our province. I believe we will be the place to be over the next while in the country with our affordability and higher quality of life. Home sellers will still need to be smart and not over-pricing their homes, and buyers need to be prepared and educated when thinking of buying (and that’s what I’m here for)!
Now, for the stats…
