D“The sales success in January might have been driven by the mild temperatures and lack of snow,” said Madeline Sarafinchan, EREB President. “But it is more likely the continuation of the same hot market we experienced last year.” A stellar economy, industrial expansion and business confidence is creating a climate that favours long-term investments such as property.

“The issue this year will be to maintain suitable inventory,” said Sarafinchan. “As the number of available homes decreases it is even more critical to stay in close contact with your REALTOR® who can advise you within minutes when a suitable home comes onto the market.” Sarafinchan reminds buyers that 30 to 100 homes come onto the market every day and the selection varies constantly. All homes listed on the Edmonton MLS® can be viewed by REALTORS® as soon as they are entered. The MLS® system can automatically e-mail a potential buyer within 15 minutes of a home meeting their requirements becoming available.
