It may be peak season for Edmonton’s real estate market, but a new report shows buyers aren’t exactly rushing toward every type of home.

According to the latest report from the Realtors Association of Edmonton (RAE), the Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) real estate market reported 2,746 sales in June 2026. That’s 7.5 per cent higher than it was the previous month, though sales were down 4.1 per cent from June 2025.

There were also 4,475 new listings, down 3.6 per cent month-over-month, but 10.1 per cent higher than this time last year. Overall inventory rose 2.9 per cent from May and sits 22.2 per cent higher than June 2025.

The average selling price across all residential property types fell 1.6 per cent from last month to $483,600, which is 4.1 per cent higher than last year.

The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price in the GEA was $431,300, down 0.2 per cent from May and 2.1 per cent year-over-year.

“While average prices dropped from a peak of just over $490,000 in May, June appears to be a peak month for the number of sales — though not enough to keep up with growing inventory,” said Darlene Reid, RAE board chair.

“Condominiums in particular have seen weakening prices, as available inventory and competition have risen.”

“An influx of new listings over the last several months has set up this year’s market to offer plenty of choice and availability to buyers. Although new listings showed a slight reversal in June, it’s not enough to impact the overall trend, as inventory levels are still increasing in the double-digits over last year.”

So, which property types are moving the quickest, and which are looking a little more sluggish? Here are the stats broken down by property type.

Prices averaged $219,190 at the end of June 2026, increasing 6.4 per cent from May, and two per cent compared to June 2025.
