The real estate market is continuously changing which makes it incredibly difficult to keep up with the ins and outs.

If you’re not a real estate agent or are not directly linked to the industry, it can be extremely hard to know what to expect from the Edmonton Real Estate market.For most, the opportunity to buy or sell property comes around once in every five to ten years, which, in real estate years, is basically an eternity! So, it’s important to do market research before buying or selling your home (even if you’ve already bought or sold a home previously). Fortunately, I’ve put together a list of things that you can expect from the 2019 real estate market!

Steady Waters

  • In 2019, the Canadian Real Estate Association expects that average home prices will stay stable in Edmonton. A stable market means that homebuyers and sellers won’t have to deal with any bewildering pricing surprises when buying or selling property this year.

  • Currently, according to the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton, the average selling price for Houses For Sale Edmonton is approximately $370,000. However, this price shifts slightly depending on whether you are buying or selling a single family home, condo, or row house/duplex.
