Market Report: March 2019

Posted on April 08, 2019 by AREA Staff in Market Analysis, Statistics

Oversupplied market weighs on prices

Driven by slower activity in the three largest regions of the province, Alberta’s sales in March eased by
nearly six per cent compared to last year. After the first quarter, sales have declined by nearly 10 per cent compared to last year and is the slowest amount of activity since 2009.

 

While new listings are starting to adjust to the slower sales activity, it was not enough to prevent further gains in inventory. Provincially there continues to be more housing supply than demand causing further price declines. At the end of the first quarter prices eased by four per cent compared to last year.

 

The slow start to the housing market this year is expected as the provincial economy continues to struggle with weak economic conditions. At the same time uncertainty regarding future prospects in Alberta continues to weigh on consumers.

Our membership work and live in Alberta, which we acknowledge as the traditional and ancestral lands of many peoples presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8 – namely the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika), the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda and the Tsuu T’ina Nation, and the Métis People of Alberta. We recognize the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today, and those who have gone before. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those on whose territory we reside.
