If the sale price to list price ratio is high, then that means that the sellers are in the "driver's seat" and can be firm on price negotiations. In effect, there are more buyers wanting to be in the neighbourhood then there are sellers. 100% sale price to list price ratio would be a ...

Edmonton Condo Special Assessments
Another concern that buyers have about condos is the potential of special assessments or levies. A special assessment is a way that the condo pays for a repair that needs to be done in the near future when the reserve fund is too low.

The only time I've seen a drop in condo fees is when a special assessment that was being paid on a monthly basis was finally paid off and then lapsed. ...

Edmonton Condo FeesWhen buying a condo, buyers often wonder about condo fees. The questions I often hear are if the condo fees ever come down and how much do the fees normally go up. I thought some statistics on what Edmonton condo fees have increased over the last few years would help. I looked at the Oliver area of Edmonton for 2 bedroom or more condo units that are in high rise buildings. I looked at Oliver as this area has a good number of sales (larger sample size) and Oliver is an ...

Greenview Home Sale Price
The Greenview home sale price per square foot has been falling throughout 2012 and into 2013. This looks concerning at first until you look at the composition of the sales in 2011 versus 2012/2013. There were a higher percentage (roughly 50%) of homes that were two story style that have sold more recently. These homes sell for less per square foot than a bungalow or bilevel style of home. That 2 story component also explains why Greenview sells lower per square ...

The Parkallen home sale price per square foot has continued to move upwards. So far in 2013, Parkallen has dipped a little, but the average selling price per square foot does trend upwards since the third quarter of 2011.

Chambery Edmonton Real Estate
The Chambery home sale price per square foot has been very erratic over the last few years. Much of the volatility in the Chambery market is due to the ratio of two story versus bungalow or bilevel style homes that sell. When Chambery is selling lower, there are many more two story styles selling (roughly 75%). When Chambery's average moves up the proportion of bungalow/bilevel to two storys is 50/50. The average sale price for a home in Chambery in the last 12 ...

Beacon Heights Edmonton Real Estate
The Beacon Heights home sale price per square foot has been getting stronger since the first quarter of 2012. Beacon Heights is currently selling high at $291 per square foot, but that is based on only three sales this year.

The ...
Evansdale Edmonton Real Estate
The Evansdale home sale price per square foot has jumped up over the last 2 quarters.

This is well above the Edmonton average sold price per square foot of $268. The ...

The Lynnwood home sale price per square foot has been softer to end 2012 and begin 2013. I expect Lynnwood to bounce back up over $300 per square foot as we move into the spring market.
