“The combination of healthy employment levels, historically low interest rates and good affordability — something the city has not seen in a while — will all bolster Edmonton’s housing resale market in 2009,” said the survey.( ~) f. V! j* g. _3 [1 Q

The company added that a glut of homes that burdened the market shrank in 2008 and will get smaller in 2009, putting Edmonton in a balanced market.

今天看到经纪人协会分析,说09销售会跌10%,不过没说价格,按照他们的歪嘴惯性,说不定售价+10%,理由是房子卖得少,售价自然就高,供不应求
