EDMONTON - A record glut of Edmonton-area homes for sale shows no signs of shrinking soon.( ]- u5 F+ A$ u; Q3 C6 u

That's up 400 homes from a month ago, and 21/2 times the inventory of the same time last year. At the current pace of home sales, that amounts to a six-month supply, twice the normal inventory.0 E  V% K: S: }% w& l% p

Good news, if you're a buyer. For sellers, it means waiting an average of 53 days for a sale -- up one day from April.& H, z* a2 Z/ B3 ?1 e( h" t

"It's a great time right now to be purchasing, because the selection has never been better and the interest rates are low," association president Marc Perras said.7 y1 l7 m  |5 L4 J4 N% C) m1 y; l# d

In May, 4,294 homes were added to the listings inventory and 1,821 homes sold. May sales were higher than same-month sales in 2003 and 2004, but fell short of May sales for 2005 to 2007, during a real estate boom.! F: D; w" S* ?( n- d

Paul Messinger, a University of Alberta marketing professor, said the Edmonton real estate market appears to be following an economic model that says in times of high demand, prices get bid up rapidly.+ n5 j+ M# l8 k, Q
