Housing shortage causing business challenges
Edmonton, August 2, 2006: Everyone in the housing market this year is aware of the shortages being experienced in Alberta. The prices of new and resale homes have increased dramatically and availability dropped. The current inventory of available residences on the Edmonton MLS® is just 1,856; down from over 4,400 homes available on July 31, 2005.

Strong economic performance of Alberta business is creating new jobs and opportunities. Workers want to move to Alberta but are facing difficulties finding housing when they get here. REALTORS® are working harder than ever to find suitable homes for their clients. Multiple offers and sales over the list price are now common. However, employers who manage to attract workers from out-of-province are hard pressed to find places for them to live once they get here. Some business owners report that new employees are returning home because they cannot find a place to live even though they have a good job.

Rental vacancy rates are low and rental rates are rising. We need the workers but our community also needs to meet their housing needs. What are the provincial and federal governments doing to provide affordable housing?”

Even a person working for $20/hour will not qualify for a mortgage on an average priced home or condominium in Edmonton.

“REALTORS® are frustrated when they cannot find a home for their client,” says Sarafinchan. “We want to help everyone but if the homes aren’t there we cannot sell them. If business owners cannot find homes for their workers then labour shortages will begin to stall the economic boom that is driving Alberta today.” She called on government to consider social policy that will make housing available for workers at all income levels.

The housing inventory is really low, especially in the lower price range. I believe the housing price is still going up this year.

之所以是预测，就是因为大部分人目前看不到，几个月后才可以看出来，就像几个月前我预测卡城一样，７月就开始兑现了，直到年底。

5 R" b- p: `9 T% a& m您是从5年前就开始预测了吧，每天都预测一次，直到最近，您的预测终于准了？闲的没事吧你？那我还预测房子几年后一定升呢。

劝大家投资谨慎是没有错，可是这样大肆宣扬，唯恐天下不乱吧！投资总有涨有跌，这再正常不过了。跟您这儿一说，卡尔加里房子降价了，就跟天要塌了似的。
