“Compared to 2017, listings and inventory are increasing, which means there is plenty for buyers to choose from this year,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Chair Darcy Torhjelm. “As we close out the year, average prices are decreasing slightly, likely due to the slower winter sales season and higher inventory levels, so sellers will need to be patient and flexible when it comes time to negotiate.”
