July Single Family Market Report
Single family home prices lifted in July, in line with last year’s values.
Sales Prices
In July 2023, average sales prices settled at around $485,000 which is around $17,000 more than June 2023. This might be driven by the possibility of interest rate increases in September, combined with lower inventory levels than normal.
Sales Volume
Over 900 single family homes sold in July 2023, which is around the same number as in July 2022. Our market should track or surpass last year’s sales figures, inventory levels allowing.
Days on Market
Average days on market in July 2023 was 43 days. This is longer than the previous 2 years. The current pace is more like we would expect to see in Edmonton. The previous 2 years were extraordinary.
Supply
Supply is still running at less than 4 months, and this is a good indicator for home sellers.
In general, anything less than four months of supply is considered a sellers’ market. Four to six months is a balanced and anything above six months of supply is considered a buyers’ market.
Round Up
Home sellers would be well advised to enter the market now if possible.
Buyside demand is stronger, possibly spurred on by the prospect of interest rate increases in September.
Although inventory is lower than normal, at the time of writing there were well over 4,000 single family homes for sale across Edmonton.
Buyers should perhaps choose a home now, If they hesitate, they risk paying more, or being forced to accept a lesser quality home once interest rates hit the market in early September.
Look for my August 2023 report during the first week of September. Thank you.
