- Inventory is much higher than last year: sellers now have more competition than they did in March 2025.
- Days on market improved from February: homes moved faster in March than in February, which is a healthy spring signal.

What Different Price Ranges Look Like Right Now
- Under $250,000: This range continues to attract first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Condos and smaller homes can still pull attention when the condition, location, and monthly costs make sense.
- $250,000–$350,000: A very active bracket for townhomes, older detached homes, and value-driven purchases. Buyers in this range are especially price-sensitive.
- $350,000–$450,000: A busy move-up range where clean presentation and realistic pricing can make a major difference in days on market.
- $450,000–$575,000: One of the strongest family-home brackets, especially for detached homes with good layouts, finished basements, or upgraded kitchens.
- $575,000–$700,000: Buyers become more selective here. Lot quality, finish level, and neighbourhood reputation matter more.
- $700,000+: Upper-end homes are judged more carefully. Luxury buyers pay close attention to design, privacy, quality, and lifestyle fit.
How to Read the Market Without Overreacting
What this means locally: Edmonton is not a one-number market. A mature-neighbourhood bungalow, a newer southwest detached home, a row/townhome, and a downtown condo can all behave differently at the same time. That is why broad averages are useful for context, but real pricing decisions still come down to location, condition, property type, and how your home compares to current competition.
March 2026 suggests that market energy is picking up for spring. Buyers are active, inventory is rising, and homes that are priced well can still move efficiently — but there is enough supply that sellers cannot rely on momentum alone.
