03 Apartments
The strongest annual price growth in Edmonton despite the weakest activity.
Apartment activity has pulled back the most of any segment. New listings are 15% below the five year July average, while sales have fallen 18%. The benchmark price is $200,100, down 2.51% month over month but up 2.56% year over year, the strongest annual gain in Edmonton.
Fewer new listings and fewer sales are keeping this segment tight, and that scarcity is supporting price growth even as transaction volume falls. It is a smaller, thinner market right now rather than a weaker one on price.

04 Attached Homes
New listings surge 36% as attached becomes the softest segment on price.
The attached segment is drawing the most new supply in the city. New listings are 36% above the five year July average, while sales are up 9%. The benchmark price is $272,600, down 1.84% month over month and 0.07% year over year, essentially flat but the only segment in negative annual territory.
Sales are keeping pace with the wave of new listings, which is a healthier setup than rising supply alone would suggest. Even so, 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 remains close to balanced as of July 2026. Inventory is up 12% and months of supply has risen 8%, but sales are in line with historical norms rather than falling behind. Annual price growth of 2.92% confirms sellers still hold meaningful pricing power at the overall level, though attached sellers are now working in a softer segment.
What is the benchmark price in Edmonton right now?

Which Edmonton property type is performing best right now?
Apartments post the strongest annual price gain at 2.56%, even with new listings down 15% and sales down 18%. Detached is close behind at 1.38%, with the healthiest overall activity in the city as both new listings and sales rise. Attached is the only segment in negative annual territory at negative 0.07%, despite new listings running 36% above the five year average.
Why do apartments show the strongest price growth with the weakest sales?
New listings in Edmonton apartments are down 15% and sales are down 18% from the five year July average, which shrinks the pool of active supply. With fewer units changing hands, the ones that do sell are supporting a firmer benchmark price. This is a thinner market driven by scarcity rather than a sign of stronger buyer demand.
Is now a good time to sell in Edmonton?
Detached sellers are working in the most balanced conditions, with both new listings and sales rising alongside solid annual price growth. Apartment sellers benefit from tight supply keeping prices firm. Attached sellers face the most competition, with new listings up 36% against the five year average and annual prices essentially flat.
