Edmonton Condo Real Estate Market May 2026

Average List Price Edmonton Condos

Sellers Are Maintaining Price Expectations

The average asking price rose to $232,000, representing a 1.86% increase compared to May 2025. This tells us that sellers remain confident in the value of their properties despite softer sales activity.

Interestingly, asking prices have increased while sale prices have softened slightly. This creates a larger negotiation gap between buyers and sellers and reinforces the importance of accurate pricing.

Today's buyers are well-informed and often compare multiple units before making a decision. Sellers who price aggressively above market value may find their property sitting longer than expected.

Edmonton Condo Sales

Condo Sales Continue to Lag Behind 2025

A total of 311 condos sold in Edmonton during May 2026, representing an 18.59% decrease compared to May 2025. While this continues the trend of lower transaction volume we've seen throughout the first half of the year, it is important to note that sales activity remains relatively consistent with recent months. The monthly sales chart in the report shows a gradual improvement from the winter slowdown, even though sales remain below the exceptionally strong numbers recorded in 2025.

For buyers, this means less competition than we experienced a year ago. Multiple-offer situations still occur on desirable properties, but they are far less common than they were during Edmonton's stronger seller's market conditions. For sellers, attracting buyers requires competitive pricing and excellent presentation.

Edmonton Average Condo Sale Price

Condo Prices Remain Surprisingly Stable

The average sale price for an Edmonton condo in May 2026 was $200,000, down 4.32% from May 2025. While any decline in pricing catches attention, the broader picture suggests stability rather than weakness.

The sales price trend shown in the report demonstrates that condo values have remained within a relatively narrow range over the past several years. In fact, the year-to-date average sale price remains only slightly lower than last year despite significantly reduced sales activity. This indicates that Edmonton's condo market continues to benefit from affordability and steady demand.

For investors, this is particularly encouraging. Stable pricing combined with Edmonton's strong rental demand continues to make apartment-style condos attractive investment opportunities.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Healthy

The average ask-to-sell ratio sits at 0.964, meaning sellers are receiving approximately 96.4% of their asking price. This is only slightly below last year's figure and demonstrates that buyers and sellers remain relatively aligned on value.

A ratio above 95% is generally considered healthy and indicates a balanced market rather than one heavily favouring either buyers or sellers.

Average Days on Market

Days on Market Continue to Increase

The average days on market was 74 days, an increase of 29.82% compared to May 2025. This remains one of the most significant trends in Edmonton's condo market.

Properties are taking longer to sell because:

• Buyers have more options.
• Financing qualification remains a challenge for some purchasers.
• Increased inventory allows buyers to take their time.

The good news for sellers is that properly priced condos are still moving. Many of the longer-selling properties tend to be those that entered the market overpriced.

Below is a summary of the year-to-date condo statistics for 2026 compared to 2025.

What This Means for Buyers

May continues to present excellent opportunities for buyers.

Current market conditions offer:

• More condo inventory to choose from
• Less competition than last year
• More negotiating flexibility
• Stable pricing

For first-time buyers, Edmonton remains one of Canada's most affordable major cities for condominium ownership. Buyers who have been waiting for a calmer market may find 2026 offers some of the best opportunities we've seen in recent years.

What This Means for Sellers

Sellers can still achieve successful results, but the strategy has changed.

The most successful condo listings are:

• Priced correctly from the start
• Professionally photographed
• Clean and well-maintained
• Located in desirable neighbourhoods
• Marketed aggressively online

The days of simply listing a condo and expecting immediate offers have largely passed. Today's buyers have choices and are taking their time.

Edmonton Condo Market Outlook for Summer 2026

Looking ahead to June and July, we expect:

• Continued steady inventory levels
• Gradual improvement in sales activity
• Stable pricing
• Ongoing buyer negotiating power

The Edmonton condo market remains balanced. While sales volumes are lower than last year, pricing has proven remarkably resilient, suggesting long-term stability rather than market weakness.
