Edmonton, May 5, 2008: The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton reported that the average price for single family homes dropped less than half a percent after three months of small increases. April sales of all types of residential property through the Multiple Listing Service® were lower than the two previous years at 1,823 units but higher than the more typical years of 2004 and 2005.

; o4 j2 l# W% W, v- B“The Edmonton housing market is stable and buyers and sellers seem to be coming to a realistic view of housing prices,” said Marc Perras, president of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton. “In this market, with a very high inventory, pricing is a key component of a successful sale.” While the typical sale is completed at 97% of the asking price many sellers have had to reduce their price to find the level that would attract a buyer.

“It is hard to draw comparisons to last year,” said Perras. “Prices were still going up at this time last year and inventories were about one quarter what they are now. It’s a much different market in 2008.” He encouraged all buyers and sellers to consult with their REALTORS® for the best advice on current market trends and conditions.
