The market in Edmonton is finally balanced again. Although prices are a little lower, less than 1%, than what we saw in August last year.
"Although sales numbers cooled a bit after record sales in June and July, we are still experiencing the strength of the market in Edmonton," said Charlie Ponde, president of the Realtors Association of Edmonton.
June and July saw sales rise 28% over the same period one year before; low interest rates and great deals were probably behind the jump in activity. Seasonality could be in effect as well were winter saw a near freeze. The market picked up in the warmer weather.
Alberta's economy will make a comeback in 2010--strong enough to contribute to the national recovery, yet modest enough so that we don't see the problems associated with the break neck growth we saw in the mid 2000s.
