“While we continue to see the Edmonton real estate market cooling down after a record-breaking period earlier this year, there is still a fair amount of activity happening in the resale market,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Chair Paul Gravelle. “Although we’ve seen average prices decrease month-over-month across the board, single-family home prices are still above average from this time last year.”

Single-family homes averaged 37 days on the market, seeing an increase of four days from July 2022. Condos averaged 54 days on the market, increasing by two days month-over-month, while duplexes averaged 37 days on the market, a three-day increase compared to last month.
