“We’ve seen in other markets what a low supply of inventory can do to home prices,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton 2023 Board Chair Melanie Boles. “And that applies on a smaller scale to any market during the colder season. There are buyers who can’t wait until spring when more properties become available, and they’re willing to spend more on the right place. But until we see interest rates come down, for many people those detached homes are still out of reach.”
Detached homes averaged 43 days on the market, increasing one day from September 2023. Semi-detached homes averaged 47 days on the market, an increase of 10 days from the previous month. Overall, all residential listings averaged 46 days on the market, increasing by two days month-over-month and dropping by four days in comparison to October 2022.
