A busy few days kept me from updating on how February ended in Red Deer. It ended on a positive note. After experiencing a few months of sluggish sales we experienced an increase over January.

Real Estate Activity is on the rise!
Talk to a few Realtors and you and the response will be that there is in fact more action in the market place.

Here are the weekly numbers:
The blue shaded areas represent homes that did not sell and are still available. We like to see that gap closer if you are selling. The bigger the gap the stronger the "buyers" market. You can see that sales were sluggish to start January 2009. Not to surprising given the doom and gloom in the air. Afterwards we had President Obama inauguration ...
