The Edmonton housing market is building momentum with the shift in seasons, and we took a look at how different property types are performing as we enter the first week of April.
According to the latest report from the Realtors Association of Edmonton (RAE), the Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) real estate market reported 2,133 sales in March 2026. That’s a 33.1 per cent increase compared to February, though sales were down 14 per cent from March 2025.
There were also 3,809 new listings, up 30.6 per cent month-over-month and 4.2 per cent higher than this time last year. Overall inventory rose 13.8 per cent from February and sits 31.6 per cent higher than March 2025.
The average selling price across all residential property types rose 3.4 per cent from last month to $470,819, which is 2.2 per cent higher than last year.
The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price in the GEA was $426,000, up 1.5 per cent from February but down 2.9 per cent year-over-year.
“It’s no surprise that month-to-month trends are showing an increase in activity, but certain key stats are giving us an indication of the kind of market we’re going to see this year,” said REA board chair Darlene Reid.
“Compared to last year, there’s more available inventory and fewer sales; sellers looking for a quick sale may have to price strategically to get their property to stand out.”
So, as the weather warms and the market picks up, which property types are moving the quickest? When it comes to sales, detached homes are leading the way, while semi-detached properties are seeing a surge in new listings.
Here are the stats broken down by property type:
