Edmonton New Single Family Home Listings

🏘️ Surge in Listings = More Choice

Inventory is increasing—a welcome sign for homebuyers.

• 1,760 new listings came onto the market in July, a 18.97% increase from July 2024.
• Year-to-date, 10,300 homes have been listed, which is 11.75% more than the same period last year.

This influx of listings benefits buyers, as it helps to cool off bidding wars and introduce greater selection across Edmonton neighbourhoods. It also reflects seller confidence in the market's ability to deliver favourable returns.

If you’re a buyer, this is the time to act. Increased listings combined with slightly slower sales provide an opportunity to negotiate better terms without sacrificing quality or location.

Average Asking Price

💰 Prices Are Climbing: Seller-Friendly Environment

The average asking price in June was $615,000, up 2.37% year-over-year.

For sellers, this upward trajectory presents an excellent opportunity to capitalize on growing home values.

For buyers, it's a signal that purchasing sooner rather than later could be a wise move before prices potentially climb further.

Edmonton Single Family Home Sales

📉 Sales Slip, But Remain Strong

July saw 1,020 detached homes sold, which is a 1.63% decrease from July 2024. Although this is a minor dip, it's the continuation of a slight downward trend we've seen in year-to-date sales, now sitting at 6,190 units, down 6.02% compared to the same period last year.

The modest decline in sales volume can be attributed to affordability concerns and cautious buyer sentiment. Rising prices and interest rate pressures may be slowing some buyers down—but the overall demand for detached homes in Edmonton remains healthy.

Average Single Family Home Sale Price

💰 Price Growth Continues

Despite fewer sales, home values continue to trend upward, signalling a strong seller’s market.

• Average Sale Price: $564,000 (up 2.96% YoY)

Year-to-date, the average sale price has grown by an impressive 7.82%, sitting at $562,000 compared to $522,000 this time last year.

This consistent rise in home values suggests that Edmonton’s detached homes are holding and increasing their market value, giving sellers a strong position and reinforcing the long-term investment potential for buyers.

💬 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Dips Slightly

The ask-to-sell ratio dipped to 0.989, down from 0.995 in July 2024. This suggests that homes are selling at approximately 98.9% of asking price, meaning there is slightly more room for negotiation than in previous months.

While this shift is modest, it gives buyers a bit more confidence in negotiating while reminding sellers of the importance of strategic pricing and professional staging to achieve top dollar.

Days on MLS®

⏳ Homes Taking Slightly Longer to Sell

The average days on market rose to 43 days, up 4.88% year-over-year. While still very reasonable, this is a signal that homes aren’t flying off the shelf as quickly as they were in early 2024 or spring 2025.

Year-to-date, homes are selling in 46 days, which is a strong improvement over 55 days last year. The market is still moving efficiently, but today’s buyers are becoming more selective, especially with the wider range of homes now available.

🔎 Year-to-Date Recap – Edmonton Detached Homes

With seven months of data in the books, here’s how the detached market has performed in 2025 so far:

These numbers reflect a market that’s correcting toward balance after the fast pace of 2023 and early 2024. While listings are up and days on market are inching up, strong price growth and sale prices near asking suggest Edmonton remains a vibrant, high-demand housing market.
