Edmonton Detached Single Family Home Market: November 2025 Update

As we move into the final weeks of 2025, the Edmonton detached homes real estate market is clearly reflecting the seasonal shift, with fewer sales, rising days on market, and steady price growth. November tends to be a quieter month, and this year is no different—yet the data shows underlying strength in home values and increased seller activity, positioning Edmonton as a market to watch into early 2026.

Let’s explore the November 2025 market in detail, what’s changed year-over-year, and what it means for buyers and sellers as we close out the year.

📊 Key Stats – Edmonton Detached Homes (November 2025)

Edmonton New Single Family Home Listings

🏡 Listings Up Significantly – +14.50% in November

There were 916 new listings in November, a 14.50% increase compared to the same month in 2024. For the year so far, 15,576 detached homes have been listed, up 12.42% year-over-year.

More listings = more options. And while this is good news for buyers, sellers now face greater competition for attention—making high-quality presentation, marketing, and pricing strategy essential.

Average Asking Price

📈 Seller Expectations Stay Strong

The average asking price rose to $602,000 in November, an increase of 1.21% year-over-year. Sellers remain confident in the market, pricing homes based on recent sale trends and YTD averages.

• YTD average asking price: $615,000 vs. $593,000 in 2024 → +3.59%.

This gap between asking and final sale price highlights the growing importance of accurate pricing strategies as buyers become more selective heading into 2026.

🏘️ Detached Sales Dip in November

A total of 628 detached homes sold in November 2025, marking a 15.14% decrease compared to November 2024. This drop, though notable, isn’t unexpected as the market naturally slows entering the winter season. For context, October saw 740 sales, meaning activity has eased significantly from the fall peak.

On a year-to-date basis, 9,300 detached homes have sold across Edmonton, which is down 6.39% from the same time last year

📉 What’s causing the slowdown?

• Seasonality: Fewer buyers actively shop in the final quarter of the year.
• Affordability concerns: Despite modest sale price growth, many buyers remain rate-sensitive.
• Increased supply: More inventory creates longer decision-making timelines.

💰 Prices Continue to Rise Despite Fewer Sales

While sales volume has decreased, home values are holding firm—and in some cases, climbing.

• The average sale price in November 2025 was $540,000, up 3.63% from the same month last year.
• Year-to-date, the average sale price stands at $554,000, a 5.34% increase over 2024.

This demonstrates that while buyer activity has slowed, the value of detached homes in Edmonton remains resilient, especially for move-in-ready homes in desirable communities

💬 Negotiation Gap Widens Slightly

The ask-to-sell ratio dipped to 0.980 in November 2025, meaning homes sold for 98% of asking price, on average. That’s a slight decrease of 0.50% from last year. On a YTD basis, the ratio sits at 0.992, almost identical to 2024’s 0.993.

This subtle shift reflects more negotiation power for buyers, especially as inventory builds and days on market rise.

⏳ Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell

Detached homes took 69 days on average to sell in November, a jump of 11.29% from November 2024. However, looking at the entire year, the YTD average days on market is 50, which is 9.09% faster than last year’s 55-day average.

The rising DOM in recent months suggests buyers are becoming more cautious. It’s not that the market is weak—it’s just more measured.
