Here’s something a little different and kind of fun if you’re a big dork like me. I took the historical price data from the EREB and did trailing averages. Then I put it in a Google Docs spreadsheet for cool investors like you to use. You can also access the the entire spreadsheet of Edmonton House Prices to use for your own manipulations.

I make no guarantee of this data, or make any promises that it’s accurate, well calculated or pretty. I also burn toast with the best of them. It’s only here to display my willingness to be wrong in public, and give away resources to those investors who wish to use them. If you’ve surfed here looking for the price of your own home, you can signup for a free market evaluation on my main site.

Important Points:

• The average annual price increase is 7.46%
• The average 5-year price increase is 50.26%
• Only 10 years since 1962 showed negative price growth
• In a 5-year hold, only 4 years would have resulted in negative growth
• If you held for 9 years, you’d always see an increase
• Edmonton values appear to double every 9 years, on average, since 1962

Now, I bring you a big pretty looking spreadsheet! (Also check out the sliding chart of house prices and REIN’s Top Alberta Towns Report)

What’s the point of data like this? Compare towns, pick the strongest in the country. Buy using a system. Hold. Enjoy profit.
