Edmonton New Single Family Home Listings

🆕 Increase in New Listings Eases Pressure

December brought 471 new listings to the market, up 12.94% from the same time in 2024. This continued growth in listings is part of a broader 2025 trend, with new listings up 13.26% year-to-date.

For buyers, this means more choices and reduced urgency, especially compared to tight-inventory periods of past years. For sellers, it means more competition and a greater need for strategic pricing and staging.

💰 Asking Prices Rise with Market Confidence

The average list price for detached homes in December reached $594,801, a 2.19% increase over 2024. Sellers appear increasingly confident in market conditions, as the 2025 YTD average list price rose to $613,678, up 4.19% from the previous year.

🏘️ Detached Home Sales Surge in December

Sales activity for detached homes in Edmonton rose sharply in December, with 505 homes sold, a 19.67% year-over-year increase. This jump in sales—despite being in the holiday season—highlights strong buyer demand and suggests a continued interest in homeownership over the winter months.

The rise in transactions is especially notable given the seasonal downturn that typically characterizes December, further proving the underlying strength of Edmonton’s housing market.

💯 Sales-to-List Price Ratio Approaches 99%

Sellers in Edmonton are receiving close to their asking prices, with December seeing a 98.88% sales-to-list ratio. This is up slightly from 98.56% last year, showcasing improved pricing strategies and strong negotiation power.

Days on MLS®

⏳ Faster Sales Despite Holiday Season

Homes sold in 50 days on average in December 2025, slightly faster than the 52-day average in 2024. This trend demonstrates that even during traditionally slower months, serious buyers remain active, and well-presented homes can still sell quickly.

The year-to-date average Days on Market was just 43, down from 45 in 2024, pointing to an increasingly efficient marketplace.

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers should be encouraged by the increase in inventory and consistent pricing, but must remain strategic. The continued rise in prices and sales-to-list ratios mean that lowball offers are rarely successful, and desirable homes often move fast.

Key Tips for Buyers:

• Get pre-approved before starting your search
• Work with a REALTOR® who knows the Edmonton single-family market
• Be ready to act quickly on homes that fit your needs

📢 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re considering listing your detached home in Edmonton, now is an opportune time. Buyer demand remains strong, especially in established neighbourhoods, new construction zones, and properties with modern upgrades.

Key Tips for Sellers:

• Price your home competitively based on current stats
• Stage your home and invest in curb appeal
• Take advantage of low market days on the competition to stand out
