RESIDENTIAL STATISTICS – CITY OF EDMONTON MARCH 2021
The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton has released the March 2021 Residential Statistics – City of Edmonton. Another strong month reported for home sales in Edmonton. Residential home sales up 103% over March of 2020. Average home sales price up 4.6% from February of 2021 and up 14.4% from March 2020. Average days on market has dropped from 62 days to 43.

The rates on home loans are being nudged higher by a rising interest rate, on Canadian five-year government bonds. Several of Canada’s major banks hiked their fixed-rate mortgage rate. As a result, the rates most borrowers pay are now higher by as much as .25% on loans with five-year terms. There are expectations rates will continue to rise, so homebuyers and homeowners may need to move fast to lock in the best rate. If you’re looking to purchase a home, try to lock a low rate now because you’ll be able to hold onto it for up to 120 days.
