Know your market
If you’re planning to buy or sell residential real estate now or in the future, it’s important to know your local market as much as possible. That’s why each week at iOnRealEstate.ca we post the Red Deer Real Estate market report comparing sales to listings. It’s important to compare home sales to home listings to help understand the market.
Your market is local
Before planning a real estate transaction in Red Deer it’s important to understand that your real estate market is local. Keep in mind, when someone references the “Canadian real estate market” or even the “Alberta real estate market” it doesn’t necessarily apply to your local market. Too many real estate decisions are based on national real estate information but national stats need to be taken lightly because they may have zero relevance to your local market.

The second week of the year where we see more homes entering the market than leaving. Inventory should grow from here on but it always does the first quarter of the year. Check back each week to see where the market heads.
Note:
when too many homes are listed for sale it has a negative impact on pricing. Keep in mind, if you list your house to sell just “testing the market” you will essentially reduce prices as a whole and negatively impact your possible results. The more listings there are (competition), the lower prices will go. Supply and demand – too much supply negatively impacts prices.
Right now is a seller favoured market in Central Ab and that indicates price may begin to increase. If you’re a buyer waiting for prices to drop they won’t in the near future. If you’ve waited, the low price point has likely passed but if prices continue upward, now is a low point.
