Residential Statistics City of Edmonton February 2022

RESIDENTIAL STATISTICS CITY OF EDMONTON February 2022

The REALTORS® Association of Edmonton has released the February 2022 Residential Statistics – City of Edmonton. The Edmonton Home Market is in high demand as inventory levels fall dramatically!  Residential home sales in February of 2022 went up 56.8% (609) homes from February 2021. Average home sale price was $410,508. Prices saw an increase of $37,096 from last February that’s an increase of 3.2% year-over-year. Average days on market is sitting at 47 days.

New listings for the month of February came in at 2276 up 21.6% from last year.

The selling price of single family home is at $501,425 up 12.2% from last year and had 1000 sales. Duplexes and row housing sold 223 homes, with prices up 10.2% to an average of $389,152. 428 Condos sold at an increase in price of  3.2% to an average of $220,066.

MORTGAGE QUALIFICATION CHANGES

The Bank of Canada has raised its key interest rate for the first time since slashing the benchmark rate to near-zero at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a bid to tackle inflation rates that are likely to keep rising from their current three-decade high.

The central bank increased its key rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 0.5 per cent on Wednesday in a bid to help fight inflation, which is at its highest level since 1991.

The move prompted Royal Bank and TD to raise their prime lending rates — and other big banks were expected to follow — to increase the cost of loans such as variable-rate mortgages that are linked to the central bank’s benchmark rate.

According to Ratehub.ca’s calculations, a household with an annual income of $100,000 and a 20 percent down payment – with a 5-year fixed mortgage rate of 1.78 percent amortized over 30 years – would qualify for a home valued at $651,000 under today’s 4.79 percent qualifying rate. Under the new stress test rate of 5.25 percent, the same household’s maximum affordability would decrease to $618,000. That’s a difference of $33,000 (or 5 percent).
