“July’s heatwave didn’t stop home buyers from making the most of the market this month.” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton 2024 Board Chair Melanie Boles. “The number of sales saw an unexpected bump considering things normally start to taper off after May and June have passed, while the added competition doesn’t seem to have impacted home prices just yet. The lower inventory available is something to keep an eye on, as we’ve seen the effects too little supply has had on prices in other markets.”

Detached homes averaged 32 days on the market, an increase of three days from June 2024. Semi-detached homes recorded a one-day decrease with 27 days on the market, and row/townhouses’ days on the market increased six days to 31. Apartment condominiums average days on market increased one day to 43. Overall, all residential listings averaged 33 days on the market, a month-over-month increase of 3 days and a 12-day decrease in comparison to July 2023.
