Listings everywhere!

I was at the Alberta Real Estate Board Presidents and EOs meeting in Edmonton last week. With Fort McMurray being the exception, all real estate boards in Alberta are experiencing a high number of listings, around double or even more listings than this past May. The explanation...well the market is correcting itself after a wild year last year...but that's all I can think of. Is it thanks to a slowing of the oil patch? I am not really sure. Anyhow, it's a great time to buy as you can take your time and shop around for the best deal.
