Despite this increase for Edmonton home builders, this new housing activity, the 4,560 starts recorded to date this year, are still behind construction in the first 10 months of 2008. Housing starts across Alberta's seven largest cities totalled 2,179 homes in October alone, up 29.5 per cent from October 2008.

Home-ownership costs are likely to rise in 2010 as mortgage rates have hit rock bottom and prices are set to rise, all reports say. A 2009 new single-detached home in Edmonton will be an average of $535,000, up 4.5 % from 2008. Reports are predicting that the average price will soften in 2010 by 2.8 per cent to $520,000 because of a "lagged effect" of when homes are priced and when they are completed.
