Inventory Slows, Giving Buyers Fewer New Options

The number of new listings fell by 10%, with 919 residential properties coming onto the market during the week. While buyers still have a healthy selection of homes available, fewer new listings can mean less fresh inventory to choose from.

For sellers, a slower pace of new listings may help reduce competition from newly listed homes, especially if their property is well-priced and professionally marketed.

Sales Activity Remains Steady

There were 572 residential sales during the week, representing a 5% decrease from the previous reporting period.

Although sales activity slowed slightly, the market continues to see hundreds of successful transactions each week. This suggests that buyers remain active and motivated, even as market conditions evolve through the summer season.

Home Prices Continue to Climb

One of the biggest takeaways from this week's report is continued price growth.

The average residential price increased to $496,000, up 4%, while the median price reached $457,000, a 2% increase.

Rising prices indicate that demand remains strong enough to support home values, even with fewer listings and fewer completed sales. For homeowners considering selling, this can be encouraging news as property values continue to show positive momentum.

What This Means for Buyers

Buyers should continue monitoring new listings closely, as inventory growth has slowed. With home prices continuing to increase, being prepared and acting when the right property becomes available can help avoid missing opportunities.

Working with a knowledgeable local REALTOR® can also provide valuable insight into pricing trends and neighborhood activity.

What This Means for Sellers

Current homeowners may benefit from a market where prices continue to strengthen. Although the number of buyers completing purchases dipped slightly, demand remains healthy enough to support rising home values.

Proper pricing, strategic marketing, and professional presentation remain key factors in attracting serious buyers.

Looking Ahead

The Greater Edmonton market continues to demonstrate stability. While both inventory and sales eased during the first week of July, increasing average and median prices suggest the market remains balanced and resilient.

As we move further into the summer, it will be important to watch whether inventory begins to recover and how buyer activity responds in the coming weeks.

If you're considering buying or selling in the Greater Edmonton area, understanding current market conditions can help you make confident, informed decisions.
