Market Update

April: Absorption Rate

Here is a snapshot of the listing absorption rate for Edmonton-area market for April 2026.

In April we saw the spring market come to life, as both buyers and sellers became more active. There were more homes to choose from, and more people looking. We generally saw a balanced market overall, but there was still strong demand and often multiple offers for the most desirable, well priced homes.

I find that it's best to take all statistics with a grain of salt. Call me if you'd like better information with respect to your specific situation.

The graphic shows that it continue to take about four to six weeks to sell a residential property in Edmonton (on average). Activity has been strong in our spring market, and demand for single family homes is particularly strong. 

I find that things are never as simple as the statistics or averages would seem to make them. Is this a good time to buy or sell? If you would like to discuss your current situation, let's chat.
