The increase in unit sales amidst a decrease in new listings suggests a dynamic market where demand may be outpacing supply. Such conditions can potentially lead to increased competition among buyers and may influence pricing dynamics.
The decline in both average and median prices, albeit slight, could be attributed to various factors such as seasonal fluctuations, changes in buyer preferences, or adjustments in the market's supply-demand dynamics. It's essential for stakeholders to monitor these trends closely to make informed decisions regarding buying or selling properties in Edmonton.
