## City market context

From the Red Deer market article, 22 September 2026:

Red Deer's housing market shows a tight balance with an 85 percent Sales to New Listings Ratio and 2.3 months of inventory. Financing conditions remain stable, but rising bond yields may pressure fixed mortgage rates in the coming weeks. Red Deer's Sales to New Listings Ratio reached 85 percent with 178 sales against 210 new listings, while months of inventory stood at 2.3. This combination indicates a seller's market where demand outpaces new supply, but the absolute transaction volume limits the statistical weight of the ratio.
