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!

Most of this luxury moving and shaking is happening inside Edmonton’s mature neighbourhoods on the city’s west-side, where new luxury infills are rejuvenating these mature neighbourhoods and elevating them with high-class design that takes advantage of their epic river valley views. 

“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. 

In the last year, Edmonton’s luxury market has exploded. Over the last 12 months it has…

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.

Developed in the mid-to-late 1950s, the majority of the original homes were single-detached bungalows. However, a few long-lost hundred year old farmhouses can still be found dotted in the neighbourhood.
