housing sales

By Murray Green

The latest data is in, and so far it appears that the Camrose residential market is relatively stable.

“Although the 12 month rolling average sale price has declined over the last two quarters, the 12 month rolling median sale price, which eliminates the highs and lows, has held steady at 0.90 per cent in quarter three of this year,” said Jacobus Slabbert, Camrose manager of HarrisonBowker.

“That being said, rising inflation has forced the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates to levels not seen in decades, with more rate increases expected in the latter part of 2022. This in turn is bound to cool the market somewhat, with many new home buyers now being unable to pass the stress test for higher mortgage rates. In addition, those home owners looking to move will now be faced with higher mortgage rates which might force them to reconsider a move at this time. The extent to which high inflation rates and higher interest rates will affect the Camrose residential market is still unknown, but it is definitely something that needs to be taken into consideration going forward,” explained Jacobus.

The average sale price in quarter three was $288,907, which is down 6.36 per cent from last quarter and down 6.88 per cent from the same time last year. The rolling 12-month average declined marginally by 1.69 per cent. Of note, the quarter to quarter average sale price in 2022 declined by 0.41 per cent in quarter one, lowered 3.66 per cent in quarter two and minus 6.36 per cent in quarter three.

The median sale price in quarter three was $295,000, which is up 2.63 per cent from last quarter and up 3.69 per cent from the same time last year. The rolling 12-month average increased marginally by 0.90 per cent.

There were 14 sales over $400,000 in quarter three, which is 18 less than last quarter and five less than the same time last year.

“The average days on market was 47 days, which is up one day from last quarter, but down 25 days from the same time last year,” added Jacobus.

In rural Camrose County, there were 24 reported sales in quarter three, which is one more sale than last quarter, and four more sales than what was reported in 2021 quarter three. The average days on market was 58 days, which is up 13 days from last quarter, but down 21 days compared to the same time last year.

In rural Flagstaff County there were only five reported sales in quarter three.
