( q& }) b' \) oEdmonton, October 2, 2008: REALTORS® have been kept busy with strong sales of homes through the Multiple Listing Service® in the past three months. September residential sales were up 65.9% from the same month in 2007 and built on year-over-year sales increases in July and August.# M; { y! b: [: s' q* t" C: E5 N

“Edmonton may be the only housing market in western Canada that has increased sales in the third quarter,” said Marc Perras, president of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton. “After peaking at record sales numbers in early 2007 the market slowed through the first half of this year. But sales have certainly picked up to the normal range and surpassed same month sales from last year.”

Condominium sales were up from the previous month by 11.7% with an average price of $252,234 on 477 sales during September. Duplex and rowhouses sold on average for $315,690, which was up 0.1% from August with sales of 79 units. The average residential sales price (including all types of residential property) was down 1.3% from last month to $324,906.# s. v0 ^$ W0 x* H: B& d
/ ?$ b- q) j3 }8 l& ~; E8 J“The sales increases may have been helped by slightly softer prices for all types of homes,” said Perras. “But a bigger factor is the continuing strength of the local economy including low unemployment, low vacancy rates and economic growth at four times the national average.” He also noted that the average price for single family homes may be lower because of the increased number of entry level priced homes being sold as compared to pricier move-up or estate sales. 1 I# x0 H8 K! u% `! ]4 l

“Home buyers have come to the realization that a sudden market collapse in Edmonton is unlikely and that now is actually a good time to buy a home while inventory still remains high and interest rates are low,” he said.7 t: a4 u, F& ^. k% ^
