At the end of May, 11,006 residential properties sat unsold on the Edmonton Multiple Listing Service, according to monthly statistics released Tuesday by the Realtors Association of Edmonton.: m: g  b2 D; K: c& P+ ^& A) F

That's up 400 homes from a month ago, and 21/2 times the inventory of the same time last year. At the current pace of home sales, that amounts to a six-month supply, twice the normal inventory.

Good news, if you're a buyer. For sellers, it means waiting an average of 53 days for a sale -- up one day from April.

"It's a great time right now to be purchasing, because the selection has never been better and the interest rates are low," association president Marc Perras said.

: K4 l% T: _8 n; UPerras predicted the surplus will shrink to about 8,000 by the fall as homes sell or multiple homeowners rent out extra homes instead of trying to sell them.

In May, 4,294 homes were added to the listings inventory and 1,821 homes sold. May sales were higher than same-month sales in 2003 and 2004, but fell short of May sales for 2005 to 2007, during a real estate boom.
