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.

"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.9 G' z1 o1 O/ f/ N# L7 u

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.: i% D- y3 ?9 f+ h

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.% C; Y* v; C7 I% d( {3 x

Prices are slower to drop when demand falls.
