Edmonton Housing Market Update: July 2026

If you're watching Edmonton's housing market right now, here's the short version: sales picked up in June, prices eased slightly off their spring peak, and buyers have more homes to choose from than they've had in years. I'm Danny Wong with Maxwell Devonshire Realty, and I track these numbers every month because they shape the advice I give buyers and sellers across Edmonton and the surrounding area. This Edmonton housing market update for July 2026 breaks down what happened last month, property type by property type, so you can make sense of it before your next move.

Edmonton Housing Market Update: June 2026 Snapshot

According to RAE's monthly report released July 2, 2026, the Greater Edmonton Area saw 2,746 sales in June — a 7.5% increase from May, though still 4.1% below June 2025. New listings came in at 4,475, down 3.6% from the previous month but up 10.1% year-over-year, and overall inventory climbed 2.9% from May to sit 22.2% higher than a year ago.

The average selling price across all residential property types was $483,600, a 1.6% pullback from May but still 4.1% above where it stood a year earlier. The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark, which smooths out swings from any one segment, came in at $431,300 — down 0.2% month-over-month and 2.1% year-over-year.

"While average prices dropped from a peak of just over $490,000 in May, June appears to be a peak month for the number of sales — though not enough to keep up with growing inventory," said Darlene Reid, RAE board chair, in the association's July 2026 statistics release. "Condominiums in particular have seen weakening prices, as available inventory and competition have risen."

In my own conversations with buyers touring homes across Edmonton this summer, that extra inventory is the story. People finally have room to compare properties instead of feeling rushed into an offer.

How Each Edmonton Property Type Is Performing

Detached Homes

Detached homes averaged $592,989 in June, down 1.9% from May but up 3.3% from June 2025. Sales rose 6.1% month-over-month while new listings fell 10.3% from May, even though they're still running 11% ahead of last year.

Semi-Detached Homes

Semi-detached properties averaged $434,651, up slightly (0.3%) from May but down 1.2% year-over-year. Sales were up 6.7% from May and 4.9% from June 2025.

Row and Townhomes

Row and townhome prices averaged $303,117, down 2.1% both month-over-month and year-over-year. Sales in this category jumped 17.3% from May, the strongest monthly gain of any property type, even though they remain 10.9% below last June.

Apartment Condos

Condos averaged $219,190, up 6.4% from May and 2% from a year ago — but condo sales fell 15.4% compared to June 2025, the softest year-over-year sales trend of any category RAE tracks.

What Rising Inventory Means for Edmonton Buyers This Summer

With inventory up more than 22% from last year, Edmonton buyers have real negotiating room again, particularly in the condo and row/townhome segments where price growth has cooled. That doesn't mean it's a buyer free-for-all — detached homes are still holding value well, and well-priced properties in sought-after areas are still moving quickly. But if you've felt priced out or rushed in past years, this is the most breathing room Edmonton buyers have had in a while.

Interest Rates and Your Edmonton Mortgage

The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% at its June 2026 announcement, the fifth hold since October 2025, and markets are largely pricing in another hold at the next scheduled announcement on July 15, 2026. Rate stability has helped keep monthly carrying costs predictable for Edmonton buyers this summer, but rates can still shift with each Bank of Canada decision, so it's worth confirming current numbers with your lender before you set a budget.

Should You Buy or Sell in Edmonton This Summer?

If you're selling, pricing realistically matters more than it did a year ago — with inventory this high, overpriced listings sit. If you're buying, especially in condos or row/townhomes, you're in a stronger position to negotiate than you have been in recent summers. Whichever side of the table you're on, the numbers above are a starting point, not the whole picture — your specific neighbourhood, property type, and timeline all matter.
