The key to understanding 2025 trends is persistent low inventory. While new listings were up 5.0% year-over-year, total active inventory is down 3.0%.
| Type | Growth |
|---|---|
| Detached | 4.0% |
| Semi-Detached | 4.5% |
| Townhouse | 5.0% |
| Apartment | 2.0% |
The Townhouse and Semi-Detached segments are experiencing the strongest growth, at 5.0% and 4.5% respectively.
The detached home market remains stable at 4.0% growth.
The Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) is 81.4%. This indicates that over 81 of every 100 new listings are selling within the same period.
What this means for you:
If you are a seller, you have significant leverage in negotiations. If you are a buyer, you must come prepared with a strong initial offer.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| SNLR | 81.4% |
The forecast for the Edmonton real estate market remains stable and positive heading into late 2025.
Strong, stable growth at +4.0% YoY. Bedrock of the market.
Fastest growth at +5.0%. High demand from first-time buyers.
Modest growth at +2.0% YoY. Best opportunity for buyers.
Leverage the Inventory Squeeze: With inventory down 3%, the market is on your side.
Win on Presentation: Professional staging is non-negotiable to capture premium offers.
Be Ready for Action: The 81.4% SNLR means you need a moving plan ready immediately.
Be Prepared to Compete: Have your pre-approval 100% finalized.
Don't Wait for Price Drops: Waiting is a losing strategy in an 81% SNLR market.
"The data doesn't lie—2025 is rewarding prepared sellers. If you're sitting on the fence, the current inventory shortage is your signal to move."
