Edmonton is proving to be the best place to buy property!
We work in, live within and love this city, so its no surprise to us that Edmonton is quickly becoming the place to live and invest in.
Lets take a quick look at the numbers.
According to Alberta population statistics, Alberta’s population expanded by about 184,000 people (4.1%) between July 1 of 2o22 and July 1 of 2023. This is a significant increase from the previous year (1.8% between the same months of 2021 and 2022) and the highest annual growth rate since 1981.
Alberta also had the highest second quarter growth rate on record with 50,061 new residents over the second quarter of 2023 (1.1%).
A new report by the Conference Board of Canada shows Edmonton’s net migration last year was more than 3x the 20 year average, and is expecting that our population will increase by 3.5% in 2023. Our cities population is growing rapidly with no sign of slowing down.
