“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.

The report predicts the average local house price to hold steady at $333,000 this year. The number of homes sold is expected to increase by three per cent to 17,825 units, it said.; I1 }' t+ S, }  u  a1 l
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.* n4 |, O. Z5 C1 p: |- W

“Nationally, Canadian average house prices are forecast to dip by three per cent from last year to $295,000, while transactions are projected to fall to 416,000 (–3.5 per cent) unit sales in 2009,” the report said.

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
