Edmonton New MLS® Listings

🆕 New Listings: Inventory Tightens as the Year Closes

Only 1,058 new listings came onto the market in December—a significant 43.1% drop from November. This is not unusual for the time of year, but it does signal tightening inventory heading into Q1 of 2026.

For sellers, this presents a favourable opportunity: less competition, more visibility, and the chance to enter the early spring market with pent-up buyer demand.

For buyers, acting early in the year could secure a home before inventory climbs again in late February or March.

Average List Price Edmonton Real Estate Market

💲 Average Asking Price: Cooling Slightly, But Stable

The average list price in Edmonton in December was $417,290, down 3.9% from November’s $434,006. This dip is a normal market rhythm as sellers become more motivated to close deals before year-end, especially after a long fall market.

Over the course of the year, however, asking prices have shown moderate appreciation—up 2.9% compared to 2024 YTD, signalling that seller confidence remains healthy despite small monthly fluctuations.

Home Sales In The Edmonton Real Estate Market

🏡 Property Sales: Seasonal Dip but Strong Annual Growth

Edmonton saw 1,229 total residential sales in December—down 24.9% from November due to expected seasonal slowdown. However, this number still represents a notable 47.5% increase over December 2024, when only 833 homes sold.

This strong year-over-year growth underscores that Edmonton remains a desirable and affordable market compared to other major Canadian cities. Buyers continued to act in December despite interest rates holding steady, proving that demand is far from frozen—even during winter.

Edmonton Average Home Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price: A Slight Decline from November

The average sale price landed at $411,532—a 5.2% drop from the month before, when November averaged $434,219. This price softening is common in December, often influenced by a higher share of lower-priced transactions or fewer luxury home sales during the holidays.

Compared to last year, though, the market is up 2.7%, reinforcing Edmonton’s gradual and stable appreciation trend. For buyers, this means solid long-term value. For sellers, pricing competitively remains key to securing strong offers in winter.

Edmonton Real Estate Market -Average Days

⏳ Days on Market: A Small Uptick

Homes in Edmonton took an average of 52 days to sell in December—slightly longer than November’s 49 days. While this is a mild increase, it’s still 10 days shorter than the 62-day average seen in December 2024.

Lower days on market YTD (45 vs 52 in 2024) show an overall improvement in transaction speed across 2025, meaning homes are selling faster and demand is strong.

📈 What’s Driving Edmonton’s Real Estate Market?

Several factors are contributing to Edmonton’s resilience and growth:

Relative Affordability – Edmonton remains one of Canada’s most affordable major urban markets, attracting both local and out-of-province buyers.
Increased Interprovincial Migration – Many Canadians are relocating from B.C. and Ontario to Alberta, lured by lower home prices and strong employment growth.
New Construction Supply – Builders are continuing to deliver new quick possession homes, especially in developing communities like Kinglet, Mattson, and Cherot.
Interest Rate Stability – While rates stayed high, there’s anticipation of cuts in mid-2026, keeping some buyers active in advance.
