Is the Greater Edmonton real estate market as steady as it seems? New HouseSigma data shows that there’s a lot going on behind the headline numbers.
Our February 2026 Greater Edmonton PriceWatch infographic (below) shows that the overall median sale price in Greater Edmonton rose a modest 0.8% year-over-year in February, from $425,000 to $428,500, suggesting a market holding firm. But when you split it by home type, the segments are moving in opposite directions — and the gap between them has widened since this time last year.
HouseSigma’s latest data analysis has found that detached homes, which account for more than half of all February transactions, dropped 2.7% year-over-year to a median of $504,950. Condos fell further, down 5.2% to $190,000. Attached homes such as half-duplexes and townhouses were the only home type to gain ground over the year, rising 5.8% to a median of $367,500. The overall market looks stable because the attached segment’s gains are largely offsetting losses in the other two segments.
Deepening discounts in detached sector
The shift in negotiating conditions reinforces this. A year ago in February, the typical Edmonton home sold right at its asking price — the median sale-to-list-price ratio across all property types was essentially zero. This February it sits at -1.0%, with 75.8% of homes closing below asking compared with 56.1% a year ago. The share selling over list has fallen from 33% to 17%.
Also a year ago, condos were the weakest segment in February 2025, with a median discount of 3% from list. Twelve months later that figure is unchanged, but what has changed is that detached and attached sellers have joined them in under-list territory. The buyer advantage that was once concentrated in the condo market has spread.
For buyers, the practical implication is that February 2026 offers more negotiating room across the board than February 2025 did — added to the lower entry prices in detached homes and condos. For condo sellers in particular, sale prices are down, discounts are deeper than any other segment at a median of 3% off, and sales volume has fallen. That combination of lower prices, softer demand, and persistent discounting makes the condo segment the one to watch as spring inventory builds.
