The Edmonton condo market continued to evolve in February 2026 as the city gradually moved closer to the spring real estate season. While sales activity remained lower than the same time last year, inventory increased significantly and prices remained relatively stable. These factors combined to create a market that currently offers opportunity for buyers while still maintaining solid long-term value for sellers and investors.
Edmonton apartment-style condos remain one of the most affordable entry points into the housing market, making them particularly attractive for first-time buyers, students, and investors. February’s statistics highlight a market that is adjusting after the strong activity seen in previous years, but one that continues to demonstrate resilience.

Inventory Rises as New Listings Increase
One of the most notable shifts in the February condo market is the increase in new listings. A total of 529 new apartment condos were listed for sale in February, which represents a 20.78% increase compared to February 2025.
This increase in inventory gives buyers more options and contributes to longer decision timelines. As more listings enter the market, sellers must ensure their property stands out through competitive pricing, strong photography, and appealing staging.
Rising inventory is common at this time of year as homeowners prepare for the spring selling season.
Sellers Adjust Asking Prices
The average asking price in February was $237,000, which is 2.65% higher than the same time last year. This indicates that many sellers remain confident in their property values despite the slower winter market.
However, the gap between asking price and selling price shows that buyers are still negotiating. Sellers who price their condos competitively tend to attract stronger interest and ultimately achieve better results.
Strategic pricing continues to be one of the most important factors when selling a condo in Edmonton’s current market conditions.
Condo Sales Activity in Edmonton
In February 2026, 232 apartment-style condos sold in Edmonton, representing a 10.08% decrease compared to February 2025. While this decline may initially appear significant, it is important to consider the broader seasonal context.
Winter months typically see lower transaction volume as many buyers wait until spring to begin their home search. The February report also shows that sales activity improved compared to January levels, suggesting that momentum is slowly building as the market approaches the busy spring season.
Lower sales volume can actually benefit buyers because it reduces competition and allows for more negotiation flexibility. For sellers, it highlights the importance of proper pricing and strong marketing strategies.
Average Condo Sale Prices Remain Stable
The average sale price for an Edmonton apartment condo in February was $207,000, which represents a 1.94% decrease compared to February 2025. Despite this small decline, condo values remain relatively stable overall.
Over the past several years, Edmonton’s condo market has demonstrated steady price stability compared to many other major Canadian cities. This consistency is one of the reasons Edmonton continues to attract real estate investors looking for long-term value.
While monthly fluctuations occur, the overall price trend remains relatively balanced and reflects a market that is adjusting rather than declining.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows Balanced Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio for February was 0.956, meaning condos sold for about 95.6% of their asking price. This ratio reflects a balanced market where buyers have room to negotiate but sellers are still achieving strong values. The Edmonton condo market is not experiencing heavy discounting, which is a positive sign for long-term price stability.
Condos Are Taking Longer to Sell
The average days on market increased to 97 days, which is 19.75% longer than the same time last year. This means condos are now taking just over three months to sell on average.
Longer days on market are often seen during winter months when buyer activity is slower. However, properties that are priced correctly and marketed effectively can still sell much faster than the average.
For sellers, this statistic highlights the importance of launching listings with the right pricing strategy rather than making multiple price reductions later.

What This Means for Buyers
The February market offers several advantages for buyers looking at Edmonton condos. Increased inventory means there are more choices available across different neighbourhoods and price ranges. Buyers may also have more negotiating flexibility because properties are taking longer to sell.
This can be an excellent time for first-time buyers to enter the market, particularly those seeking affordable housing options near downtown, the University of Alberta, or major transit routes.
What This Means for Sellers
Although the number of sales is lower compared to last year, condos that are priced properly and marketed effectively are still selling. Sellers should focus on presenting their property well and ensuring their pricing aligns with current market conditions.
As we move closer to the spring market, activity is expected to increase. Sellers who prepare their property early may benefit from increased buyer demand in the coming months.
Edmonton Condo Market Outlook for Spring 2026
Looking ahead, the Edmonton condo market appears to be gradually building toward the spring real estate season. Increased listings suggest that more sellers are preparing to enter the market, while improving weather and buyer confidence could help boost activity.
Edmonton continues to offer strong value compared to other Canadian housing markets, making condos an attractive option for both homeowners and investors.
