Edmonton, May 5, 2008: The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton reported that the average price for single family homes dropped less than half a percent after three months of small increases. April sales of all types of residential property through the Multiple Listing Service® were lower than the two previous years at 1,823 units but higher than the more typical years of 2004 and 2005.

“The Edmonton housing market is stable and buyers and sellers seem to be coming to a realistic view of housing prices,” said Marc Perras, president of the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton. “In this market, with a very high inventory, pricing is a key component of a successful sale.” While the typical sale is completed at 97% of the asking price many sellers have had to reduce their price to find the level that would attract a buyer.
