2026 property market off to a high inventory start

The Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) real estate market reported 1,151 sales in January 2026, a decrease of 12.5% compared to activity in December 2025 and 27.6% compared to January 2025. There were 2,518 new listings — a month-over-month increase of 84.2% and a year-over-year increase of 4.7%. Inventory levels rose 8.5% from December and are 32.7% higher than January 2025.

Average selling price across all residential property types decreased by 1.4% from the previous month to $448,761, a number 2.5% higher than January 2025. The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price in the GEA was $415,000, decreasing 0.1% from December 2025 and 1.0% year-over-year.

“A wave of new inventory has hit the market for 2026, and with inventory levels already pretty healthy at the end of last year, it marks a transition to a more competitive year for sellers. Buyers looking to make a move in 2026 should consider getting on the property ladder now, if possible. There’s plenty of choice, less rush (with homes averaging 59 days on market) and they’re likely to get a better negotiation on price than if they wait until the market picks up in spring.” –Darlene Reid, 2026 Board Chair, REALTORS® Association of Edmonton
