Red Deer sales/listing report for the week, July 13th – July 19th, 2020 report
Keep abreast of the Central Ab and Red Deer market news by checking in at www.iOnRealEstate.ca – Red Deer’s real estate news, stats and information hub.
If you’re planning to buy or sell residential real estate now or in the future, it’s important to know and understand as much as possible about your local market. That’s why each week we post the Red Deer Real Estate market report comparing sales & listings. It’s important to compare homes sales to home listings to help map the market.
Before planning any real estate transaction it’s important to understand, each real estate market is local. Keep in mind, when someone says “Canadian real estate market” or even “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 should only be taken with a grain of salt because it may have zero relevance to your local market.

This past week had a much higher number of homes hit the market (listed) than home leaving the market either sold, cancelled or expired. We haven’t seen a margin this great for a long time.
There is a good chance, after all the talk of normal to higher sales, that more sellers are deciding to list their home. The unfortunate thing is, sales are “higher than expected” considering our economic uncertainty but not “high.”. With only moderate sales our inventory levels climb again and prices will remain flat.
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 sale prices head. Supply and demand – too much supply inversely impacts prices. In turn, when a Realtor uses “sold” homes as comparable homes for a market evaluation on your home listing 3 months or 6 months down the road, you’ll have directly and negatively impacted your future sale price. Only list if seriously planning to sell.
It’s still a buyer favoured market in Central Ab and that indicates it’s a great time to buy. If you’re a buyer waiting for prices to drop you’ll likely buy higher than prices are right now.
