New Listings: More Inventory Creates More Choices
📈 New Listings: Big Surge in Inventory
Perhaps the most notable change in July was the sharp increase in new listings. 3,580 new properties were added to the Edmonton market, a 21.88% increase compared to July 2024. Year-to-date, 21,200 homes have been listed, up 16.28% from last year.
What’s driving the inventory surge?
This growth in inventory is great news for buyers, who now have more choices than they’ve had in several years.
💸 Average Asking Price: Sellers Stay Optimistic
The average asking price in July hit $485,000, reflecting a 3.09% year-over-year increase. Sellers are clearly confident in their home values, and rightly so—buyers are still active, especially in highly sought-after areas like West Edmonton, Windermere, and Glenora.
Strategic Note:
Sellers must still be careful not to overprice. While buyer interest remains strong, today's buyers are more informed and price-sensitive. Homes priced right the first time are selling faster and often receiving strong offers.
🏡 Sales Activity: Stable Yet Slowing
In July 2025, 2,080 homes were sold in Edmonton—a modest increase of 0.88% compared to the same month last year. While this seems like a small gain, it's important to note that year-to-date (YTD) sales have slightly declined by 0.69%, from 12,690 sales in 2024 to 12,600 in 2025.
What does this mean?
This consistency in sales volume suggests a levelling off in activity following several years of rapid growth. Many buyers are still in the market, but they’re taking a more cautious approach, especially as home prices and interest rates continue to rise. This slight slowdown could offer breathing room for buyers, while still delivering strong performance for sellers.
💰 Average Sale Price: Continued Price Appreciation
Edmonton’s average sale price rose to $432,000 in July, up 3.36% year-over-year, while the YTD average sale price climbed to $434,000, a 6.89% increase from 2024.
Price appreciation has remained consistent through 2025, supported by:
This continued growth offers reassurance to homeowners and investors that Edmonton real estate remains a strong long-term asset.
🧮 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Slight Decrease
The average ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 98.3%, down from 98.9% last year. This suggests that buyers are negotiating slightly more, and sellers are accepting offers below list price more often than before.
Although the market is still healthy, it’s clear that buyers are pushing back—especially on listings priced above market expectations.
⏱️ Days on Market: Homes Taking Longer to Sell
The average days on market rose to 48 days, up 9.09% from last July’s 44 days. This marks a shift from previous months, where homes were selling faster than ever.
Metric | 2025 YTD | 2024 YTD | % Change |
---|---|---|---|
Sold Properties | 12,600 | 12,700 | ↓ 0.69% |
Average Asking Price | $492,000 | $465,000 | ↑ 5.90% |
New Listings | 21,200 | 18,300 | ↑ 16.28% |
Days on Market | 50 | 56 | ↓ 10.71% |
Average Sale Price | $434,000 | $406,000 | ↑ 6.89% |
Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.990 | 0.990 | → 0.03% |
What changed?
With more listings available, buyers can take their time evaluating options. While homes are still moving at a healthy pace, they are not flying off the shelves like they were during the peak of market frenzy.
🔍 Market Analysis: What’s the Story Behind the Numbers?
1. Buyers Are More Disciplined
While the demand remains strong, the surge in listings has given buyers more leverage. Offers are still competitive, but the urgency seen in 2023 and 2024 has faded slightly.
2. Sellers Have a Window of Opportunity
Price growth and market activity remain favourable, but with days on market increasing and ask-to-sell ratios dropping, this is the time to price smartly and act quickly.
3. Market May Be Entering Balance
The rapid rise in listings combined with moderate sales growth could indicate a shift toward a more balanced market, where neither buyers nor sellers have a distinct advantage.
