The spring market has SPRUNG! March Market Update

It’s officially Spring!!

Hi there!

The weather is warming up (and so is our market)!

It’s been awards season and although I got a couple special awards (being top 5 in our office and reaching Chairman’s Club with Remax last year) the biggest thing is that I get to help some of the best people out there everyday.

THANK YOU for all your support and referrals over the years. They mean so much to us 🙂

How’s the market?

Spring is spring-y

This has been a VERY busy start to the year. Spring has been “spring-y” and our inventory is in short supply. This means we are seeing homes, as long as they are priced well, come to market and sell within a few days.

Buyers need to be prepared (get pre-approved!) and need to be ready for multiple offers.

Sellers need to be prepared for multiple showings and to have your home in “show-home” condition to gather as much interest as possible.

It’s a busy market, but there are ALWAYS opportunities, you just need to find them (and I can help)!

Now, for the stats…

Last month’s prices for Edmonton and Area:
– Single Family (SF) prices are UP 12.7% year over year, and up  10.8% month over month to $493,000
– Condo prices are DOWN 1.8% year over year, and UP 0.9% month over month to $227,000
