Spring Real Estate Market Arrives Early as Low Inventory Sparks Quick Sales in Multiple Offers

There’s only one way to describe Edmonton’s real estate market: it’s fast and furious. 

It truly is a sellers market - so if you are thinking of waiting to list your home in the spring - don’t wait! Spring is already here. There is currently incredibly high demand for homes which is further complicated by extremely low inventory in the Edmonton market. 

“There truly just aren’t enough homes on the market to satisfy the number of buyers we have looking, at all price points,” says Jason Holland of Holland and Associates. 

“It means we have maybe 24-48 hours from the time a house hits the market, to show it and get an offer in. We’re seeing homes go above asking price because of multiple offers. We’ve even seen up to 6 or 7 multiple offers on a…

The Boom in Luxury Living in Edmonton

When you hear the phrase luxury living, many people think New York, California, Toronto and Vancouver – even Calgary. They don’t often think of Edmonton. 

But think again!

“Edmonton has quiet wealth. It’s not flashy. There is a lot of wealth in this city but it is understated. It’s not like Calgary or Vancouver or even Toronto,” says realtor Kerri-lyn Holland.

Community Feature: Parks, Ravines and Breathtaking Sights in Parkview

Parkview is a community where everyone knows your name! 

Named for its close proximity to multiple parks, ravines and its breathtaking views of Edmonton’s vast river valley, the mature west-end residential neighbourhood is located about 10 minutes from downtown Edmonton. It is bound on the north by the MacKenzie Ravine, on the east by the North Saskatchewan River valley, on the west by 149th Street, and on the south by 87 Avenue and Buena Vista Road.
