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.

Perras 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.5 @+ n+ C& r* d5 ~6 y: U3 H" K$ ]4 Y. M

Paul Messinger, a University of Alberta marketing professor, said the Edmonton real estate market appears to be following an economic model that says in times of high demand, prices get bid up rapidly.7 Y$ X$ C0 X! k- A$ a; z
