Edmonton Real Estate Market Update – January 2025
Low Inventory, Strong Sales Growth
As we kick off 2025, Edmonton’s real estate market is already showing strong momentum. Inventory remains low, sales are up, and home prices continue to climb. In this market update, we’ll break down the latest trends, key numbers, and what buyers and sellers can expect in the coming months.
Last year was a record-breaking year for Edmonton real estate, with 28,600 homes sold. This January has already surpassed last year’s sales pace, indicating continued strong demand.
Rising Home Prices
With demand high and inventory still tight, home prices are climbing across multiple property types:
- Detached Homes: $515,000 (up from $498,000)
- Semi-Detached Homes: $420,000 (highest since August)
- Townhouses: $320,000 (significant jump from December)
- Apartments: $182,000 (back to average levels after a high December)
The consistent price increases suggest strong price support, and if demand continues at this pace, further appreciation could be on the horizon.
Key Factors to Watch
Several factors will influence Edmonton’s real estate market in the coming months:
- Interest Rates: The UK recently cut rates—will Canada follow suit?
- Builder Supply: Will new construction keep up with demand?
- Buyer Activity: Will the strong start to 2025 carry into the spring market?
With many variables in play, buyers and sellers should stay informed and be ready to act when the right opportunity arises.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers
With prices on the rise and inventory still low, acting quickly is key. If you find a home that fits your needs, don’t wait too long to make a move. Mortgage rates remain an important factor—if rates drop, competition for homes could increase further.
For Sellers
With demand remaining strong, sellers are in a good position. Well-priced homes are selling quickly, and the trend of rising prices suggests continued market strength. If you’ve been considering selling, now may be an opportune time.
Conclusion
Edmonton’s real estate market is off to a strong start in 2025. With low inventory, rising prices, and strong sales growth, it looks like we’re headed for a competitive spring market. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, staying informed is key.
