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.1 F6 T$ H) S: T9 g% C7 {

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.

"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.

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.

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.- {4 U3 X) p7 w- {; Y0 ]& k8 |

"Now, when we are back closer to historical patterns, we see an adjustment where the slack is taken up not by price but by the inventory," Messinger said.
