Josh & Jay’s video breakdown for September 2026.
Here’s the Greater Edmonton housing market for September 2026, in plain language. The median home sold for $435,000 — held about steady from a year ago, and down 0.9% from the month before. 1,959 homes changed hands, and with 4.1 months of supply on the shelf it was a buyer’s market.
Where prices landed
The typical Edmonton home came in at $435,000 in September 2026 (the average was $466,080). Over the last six months the median is down 3.3%, giving back some ground.
The gap between home types is the part worth watching: a detached home ran about $515,000, while an apartment was closer to $184,500. If a detached home feels out of reach this month, a townhouse or apartment is often where the math still works.

Supply and demand
On the demand side, 1,959 sales were 10.3% behind last year, against 3,860 new listings. Inventory is up 16.4% year over year, so buyers had more homes to choose from than a year ago.
Homes took about 44 days to sell. At 4.1 months of supply this is a buyer’s market — buyers generally have time and leverage to be selective.

Josh’s mortgage take
Josh Tagg · Indi Mortgage
From the mortgage side: a buyer’s market is a gift of time. Get pre-approved so you know exactly what you can carry, lock a rate hold while you look, and use the breathing room to choose well rather than chase. Either way, know your number before you shop — it changes every other decision.
Jay’s real-estate take
Jay Lewis · RE/MAX Excellence
From the real-estate side: numbers like these are a starting point, not the whole story — the right neighbourhood and the condition of the actual house matter more than the citywide median. With a builder’s eye I’m looking past the finishes at how a home is actually built, and at value pockets like Spruce Grove, Fort Saskatchewan and St. Albert where your budget can stretch further.
Why the median? We report the median — the middle sale price, where half of homes sold for more and half for less. It reflects a typical Edmonton home better than the average, which a handful of high-end sales can pull upward.
