I4 U9 X& B! f/ C“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.7 k+ V2 H- W% \! }$ {

“It is hard to draw comparisons to last year,” said Perras. “Prices were still going up at this time last year and inventories were about one quarter what they are now. It’s a much different market in 2008.” He encouraged all buyers and sellers to consult with their REALTORS® for the best advice on current market trends and conditions.' c U$ o7 a2 y% ~" b0 _
