November Condo Market Report
The Edmonton condo market is alive and well. Sales volume is very strong. Prices remain moderate.
Sales Prices
Condo sales prices softened in November in line with seasonal trends. The average price paid was around $205,000. Condo buyers were able to drive a hard bargain in November. This is around $10,000 LESS than this time last year or 5% down. The last half of the year has seen prices improve. However, buyers were winning big discounts in the spring and this drives down average prices for the yeear. For the entire year, we expect the average prices for condos to be around 4% less than in 2022.
Sales Volume
There were around 440 condos sold in November compared to around 290 units sold in November 2022. This represents an increase in volume of 52%. This is the 7th consecutive month of volume sales growth.
Days on Market
Condos sold for an average days on market of only 46 days. This is faster than the previous 2 years at 58 and 61 days. Buyers are selecting condo units quickly and with confidence.
Supply
After years of oversupply, the Edmonton market is offering much lower inventory levels. There is now less than 4 months of supply. This has been the case for most of the year.
In general, anything less than four months of supply is considered a sellers’ market. Four to six months is balanced and anything above six months of supply is considered a buyers’ market.
Round Up
When compared to the single family market condos are a bargain. Single family home values now exceed pre-market crash values of 2007.
Condos have yet to recover due to years of oversupply. There is lots of upside potential in the condo market.
Sellers should consider listing their condo for sale now knowing the ‘pre-Christmas movers’ are active.
The bank of Canada met on December 7th. They decided to keep interest rates at 5% for now. They were also careful to stress that interest rate increases WOULD be applied if inflation was a concern once again.
Look for my December report during the first week of January. Thank you.
