What is the benchmark price in Edmonton right now?
The overall benchmark price in Edmonton is $418,500 as of March 2026, up 2.20% month over month and 0.24% year over year. Detached homes benchmark at $502,600, apartments at $201,300, and attached homes at $278,200.
Why are Edmonton home sales down if the overall market looks balanced?
New listings are running close to the five year average, but sales have fallen 13%. Buyers are absorbing a smaller share of available inventory than in prior years, which is pushing total supply up 11% and months of supply up 21%. The headline benchmark price remains stable, but the pace of transactions suggests buyers have more room to negotiate than the price number alone implies.
Which Edmonton property type is under the most pressure right now?
Apartments are facing the sharpest conditions, with sales down 25%, the benchmark price down 4.74% year over year, and monthly prices also declining. Detached homes are holding positive year over year price growth at 1.47%, while attached homes are essentially flat at minus 0.06% annually. The attached segment is notable for running well above average new listing volumes while still seeing only modest sales growth.
Is now a good time to sell in Edmonton?
