Market Outlook
The Edmonton housing market is anticipated to remain a seller's market throughout 2025. Projections suggest a 10% increase in average residential sale prices and a 4% rise in the number of sales. This positive outlook is bolstered by strong consumer confidence and an influx of buyers from other provinces seeking more affordable housing options.
In summary, the Edmonton real estate market is experiencing significant growth in sales and prices, with a slight recent dip in new listings. These trends indicate a competitive market environment, favorable for sellers and indicative of sustained demand from buyers.
