Recent data from CREA for the Edmonton market shows modest but meaningful changes in market-velocity indicators. For example:

• For single-detached homes in Q3 2025 the months of inventory were 3.2, up from 2.7 at the same time in 2024. stats.crea.ca
• The median number of days on market for sold single-detached homes rose to 24 days, from 21 days in Q3 2024. stats.crea.ca
• For townhouse/row units the months of inventory hit 2.9 versus 1.7 in Q3 2024, and days on market rose from 20 to 24 days. stats.crea.ca
• Apartment/condo units: inventory grew from 3.7 to 4.4 months, and median days on market rose to 34 days from 30 days year-over-year. stats.crea.ca

What this means:

For sellers: Even though Edmonton remains relatively active, homes are staying listed longer and there’s more stock. You may need to price more competitively, market more aggressively and avoid assuming buyers will rush in.

For buyers: The shift gives you some breathing room. You might have more time to evaluate and negotiate than in past years. But you also should stay ready—supply growth doesn’t guarantee discounts.

Segment nuance: Detached homes remain competitive (3.2 months of inventory is still modest). But for condos and townhouses there’s a noticeable shift toward a more balanced market.

Local insight:

Alamgir’s advice: if you’re selling, treat listing like preparation for battle—photos, staging, timing matter. If you’re buying, don’t wait too long expecting big drops, but know you’re not facing a feeding frenzy either.

Final takeaway:

The market is moving from “fast and furious” toward “steady and smart.” Understanding the shifts in velocity (inventory + time on market) gives you an edge.
