Edmonton Real Estate Contrasts: Sales Surge, Inventory Cools

Let’s start with a Macroeconomics view 

To understand what’s happening in the real estate market you have to look at supply and demand.

The best proxies for supply and demand are:

Supply

New supply: New Listings (i.e. the number of homes recently listed for sale)

Total supply: Inventory (i.e. the total number of homes listed for sale)

Demand

Sales (i.e. the number of homes recently sold)

 

Supply & Demand

Months of Supply (i.e. the number of months it would take to sell all current inventory at the current rate of sale)

 

These metrics are the best indicators of the health of the real estate market. Let’s look at what they show us.

Overall, the Edmonton market has seen a 9% increase in new listings compared to the last five Augusts, signaling growing seller confidence. However, sales have grown dramatically, by 35%, showcasing a robust demand despite fluctuating supply levels. Inventory, on the other hand, has decreased by 20%, putting upward pressure on prices, while the months of supply—an indicator of how long current inventory would last at the current sales pace—has plummeted by 36%, pointing to a tighter market overall.

The detached home market in Edmonton is holding strong, with new listings up 15% compared to recent years. Sales have also increased, rising by 17%, showing that demand remains healthy. The benchmark price for detached homes stands at $461,800, reflecting steady buyer interest. Despite increased listings, supply isn’t outpacing demand, suggesting that detached homes remain a hot commodity for Edmonton families seeking more space.

Edmonton’s apartment market, however, tells a different story. New listings in this segment have fallen by 25%, while sales have also dropped slightly by 4%, suggesting that this market may be cooling. Despite the softer demand, prices remain relatively stable, with the benchmark price sitting at $196,900. The decrease in listings could indicate a hesitancy from sellers to enter the market, which might tighten supply in the coming months.

Edmonton's Attached Homes

The attached home segment is where things truly heat up. New listings have surged by 27%, while sales have exploded by 40%, highlighting the growing popularity of this market. Attached homes, including townhouses and duplexes, offer a middle ground for buyers seeking affordability without sacrificing space, and this is reflected in their benchmark price of $266,100, which remains competitive. The supply-demand dynamics in this sector suggest that prices may continue to rise if demand keeps outpacing the influx of new listings.
