“Both sales and listings typically decrease during August, as many buyers and sellers shift their focus on preparing for the new school year,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Chair Darcy Torhjelm. “As we move into the fall, buyers still have a lot of inventory to look at in all categories of residential properties. For sellers, they may have to be more patient and flexible when selling their properties, but they should still be able to get a good price for their house in the end.”

Listings decreased 4.51% compared to July 2018 and increased 1.63% compared to August 2017. Inventory also decreased month over month, down 2.62% and increased 7.73% year over year.
