Real Estate inventory report, Red Deer and Central Alberta 2023

central alberta real estate inventory

Real Estate inventory or (M.O.I.) rate could be the most important real estate data to impact your real estate buying and selling decisions… and it’s important to understand why.

SUMMARY!
Inventory levels are normalizing somewhat in some Central Alberta communities. One community has peeked outside the seller market range but all others are still below 2.4 months-of-inventory. Will the higher interest rates slow sales and allow inventory levels to normalize?

To encourage normal growth we need months of inventory or M.O.I. rates below the 5-month range. Scroll down for this month’s inventory rates through Central Alberta.

When buying or selling property take into consideration the local inventory stats. It’s the most important real estate news especially if you’re planning to sell your home. When months of inventory levels are high prices stay flat or decrease. When inventory levels are low homes will sell faster and prices will increase.
