After an exciting 2006, with record low inventories and record high prices, anyone following Edmonton's real estate market wondered what would be the ceiling? Where would things stop - or would they? 2007 started strong, but inventory levels were on a steady climb. The law of supply and demand meant that increased inventory would trigger a decrease in prices. Thus, 2007 saw a price correction as market forces worked to find equilibrium.

Many are deciding to hold onto the property, rent it out or simply wait until a later date to sell. They are waiting to see what 2008 looks like for the Edmonton real estate market," says Erin Holowach, President.$ p5 A9 W2 Q- ?3 @+ G6 r

Erin believes, "The market is going through a correction and with spring we expect a more balanced market. A more balanced market will allow both buyers and sellers to take the necessary time to be successful in any real estate transaction."4 y4 y& U P. C8 ^8 q# ~0 B& H' B4 b
