“The Edmonton market in September saw a healthy increase in new residential listings as compared to September 2020,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Chair Tom Shearer. “However, as to be expected at this time of year, the year-over-year residential unit sales in the GEA were only slightly higher than September of last year, while we have started to see a decrease in the month-to- month activity. Naturally, the market is starting to cool after a very busy 18 months with pricing increasing a nominal amount year-over-year.”


Single-family homes averaged 38 days on the market, a nine-day decrease from September of last year. Condos averaged 56 days on the market, a nine-day decrease year-over-year, while duplexes averaged 42 days on the market, a 10-day decrease compared to September 2020.
