03 Apartments
Apartments turn negative for the first time this cycle, a reversal from the usual script.

04 Attached Homes
New listings surge 22% as attached joins apartments in negative annual territory.

The benchmark price is $270,600, down 0.27% month over month and down 0.80% year over year, a slight softening but the closest of the three segments to holding flat. Sales keeping pace with the wave of new listings is a healthier setup than rising supply alone would suggest, though sellers here are working against the most crowded field of active competition of any Edmonton segment.

Common Questions
Is Edmonton currently a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Edmonton is edging toward more balanced to buyer-favourable conditions as of August 2026. Inventory is up 13% and months of supply has risen 15%, while sales are down 4%. The overall benchmark price is still up 1.83% year over year, though apartments and attached have both turned negative annually, a sign the market is normalizing unevenly across segments.
What is the benchmark price in Edmonton right now?
The overall benchmark price in Edmonton is $420,100 as of August 2026, down 1.83% month over month but up 1.83% year over year. By segment: detached homes benchmark at $506,700, apartments at $199,100, and attached homes at $270,600.
Which Edmonton property type is performing best right now?
Detached is the strongest segment on price, up 0.94% year over year with sales holding exactly flat against last year. Apartments and attached have both turned negative annually, at 2.04% and 0.80% respectively. Attached is drawing the most new supply in the city, with new listings up 22% against the five year average even as its price softens slightly.
Why have apartments and attached both turned negative on price?
Apartment sales are down 23% from the five year August average, the sharpest pullback of any Edmonton segment, while new listings are down 10%, pointing to a market losing momentum on both sides rather than tightening. Attached tells a different story: new listings there are up 22% against the five year average, the most of any segment, while sales are up only 2%, so incoming supply is outpacing demand enough to soften price. Both reversals break from Edmonton’s recent pattern, in which apartments in particular have often led the city on annual price growth.
Is now a good time to sell in Edmonton?
Detached sellers are in the steadiest position, with sales matching last year exactly and the only segment holding a positive annual price trend. Apartment sellers face the most resistance, with sales down 23% and price down on both a monthly and annual basis. Attached sellers are contending with the most active competition in the city, given the 22% jump in new listings, even though price there is only slightly negative.
