Cooling market still seeing some heat in semi-detached units
Edmonton, AB – October 2, 2025 — Housing activity in the Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) real estate market during the month of September included 3,645 new listings added to the market and 2,192 units sold. Compared to the previous month, these figures represent a 0.1% increase in new listings and a 7.8% decrease in sales. Year-over-year the change is 16.3% more listings added and 2.9% fewer sales. This difference has created a 25.6% increase in available inventory compared to a year ago.
Average selling price across all residential property types decreased by 1.8% month-over-month to $452,849, though it remains 2.8% higher than September 2024. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price in the GEA was $423,500, a 1.0% decrease from August 2025 and 4.2% higher than one year ago.
“Real estate activity is getting quieter as expected in the fall, though last month we did see prices go up for semi-detached and even row/townhouse property types. Looking ahead, there is some potential for another spike of activity if the Bank of Canada lowers interest rates again. We’ll have to wait and see how many buyers are incentivized by their ability to leverage that lending power and whether or not they’ll be able to capitalize on the cooling effect of autumn on home prices.” –Darlene Reid, 2025 Board Chair, REALTORS® Association of Edmonton
