📊 Edmonton & Area Market Update | October 2025

October 7, 2025

As the temperatures cool, so too does Edmonton’s real estate market — but only slightly. September 2025 brought a predictable seasonal slowdown, yet overall, the market continues to show strong fundamentals and steady demand across most housing types. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing, this month’s numbers reveal a balanced and healthy market heading into the final stretch of the year.

🏠 Detached Homes

Detached homes remain Edmonton’s top-performing property type. The average price dipped 2.8% from August to $554,084, but still sits slightly higher than September 2024. Sales slowed by 7.7% month-over-month, indicating that buyers are taking a little more time to make decisions as more inventory becomes available.

🏘️ Semi-Detached Homes

Duplexes are holding strong and continue to attract attention. The average price climbed to $433,760, up 3.1% month-over-month and 5.3% year-over-year. With fewer new listings hitting the market, this segment remains competitive among both homebuyers and investors.

🏡 Row/Townhomes

Townhomes saw subtle but steady growth this month, increasing 0.5% from August to an average of $303,382. Year-over-year, they’re up 3.4%, showing stable demand from buyers looking for affordability, flexibility, and community-style living.

🏢 Apartment Condos

Condos experienced a mild dip after a strong summer, with prices falling 4.9% month-over-month to $207,363. However, they remain 3.8% higher year-over-year, making them a great entry point for first-time buyers or those seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle close to amenities and transit.

📈 Market Snapshot | September 2025

  • Average Residential Price: $452,849 (↓1.8% month-to-month | ↑2.8% year-over-year)

  • New Listings: 3,645 (↑16.3% from last year)

  • Sales: 2,192 (↓7.8% month-over-month | ↓2.9% year-over-year)

  • Active Inventory: 7,085 listings (↑25.6% from last year)

  • Average Days on Market: 39 days

This data paints a clear picture of a balanced market — one where buyers have more breathing room, and sellers who price accurately are still achieving great results.

💬 What It Means for You

For buyers, this fall offers a more relaxed pace and a wider selection of homes to choose from. With inventory climbing, now is a good time to negotiate and shop strategically.

For sellers, market preparation is key. Well-staged, well-priced homes continue to sell quickly and for strong values. As always, timing, presentation, and pricing strategy are the difference-makers.

For investors, the consistent strength in semi-detached and townhome properties highlights ongoing demand for multi-family and rental opportunities.

As we head deeper into fall, keep an eye on interest rate trends. Potential adjustments could bring another surge of activity as motivated buyers re-enter the market before year-end.

💡 Final Thoughts

While the market is cooling with the season, Edmonton remains one of Canada’s most stable and affordable major cities to buy real estate. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or making your first purchase, understanding the trends will help you make Your Smoothest Move.
