Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market?
Across the City of Edmonton in May 2026, supply sat at about 3.6 months of inventory with homes selling at 98% of list — which reads as broadly balanced. But the direction matters as much as the level: sales are −19.7% year-over-year while active inventory is +26.7%, so the market is cooling toward balance from the tight conditions of a year ago. A single month can swing on seasonality.

About this data
Market activity is the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton’s monthly statistics for the City of Edmonton (all residential types), used as derived analysis with attribution and shown as a build-time snapshot so the page source shows the numbers. The benchmark price is the public MLS® Home Price Index (Source: CREA) — published at the greater-Edmonton board level, not the city limits, so it appears here as a region-wide callout rather than a city figure. The city-only and neighbourhood-level HPI series are not published.
