Jason's Take

East YEG is holding a fairly balanced pace right now — just under 2.6 months of inventory and a median sale-to-list ratio near 99% tells me well-priced homes are still moving close to asking, but buyers clearly have room to negotiate on the roughly two-thirds of homes that sold under list this month. With over a third of active listings already carrying a price reduction, sellers who price realistically from day one are avoiding that adjustment entirely. If you're weighing whether now's the right time to list or buy in East Edmonton, I'm happy to walk through what these numbers mean for your specific street.

Market Pulse by Home Style

Styles with very few sales in the last 30 days are marked low sample — treat those months-of-inventory figures as a rough signal, not a firm read.

Style Active Pending Sold (30d) Months Inv.
Detached Single Family
Bungalow 73 8 35 2.1
2 Storey 32 6 7 4.6
1 & Half Storey 6 0 3 2.0 (low sample)

Bi-Level 5 0 0

Multi Level Apartment 0 0 1 0.0 (low sample)

What Changed This Week

  • 17 new listings hit the market, down from 22 the previous week.
  • 12 homes sold in the last 7 days, compared to 13 the week before — a fairly steady pace.
  • 34 listings have left the market unsold in the last 30 days (19 terminated, 15 expired) — worth watching if that trend continues, as it can signal pricing resistance.

Pricing: What Are Buyers Actually Paying?

Median is the more reliable number to watch here — East YEG inventory includes everything from condos to multi-unit infill, and a handful of high-value properties can easily skew a simple average.

Segment Median Sold Price
All East YEG (30 days) $479,000
Detached Single Family $506,500
Condo $231,450

Detached Single Family, by Style

Bungalow $485,000 n=35
2 Storey $660,000 n=7
3 Storey $799,900 n=1, low sample
1 & Half Storey $491,000 n=3, low sample
Raised Bungalow $365,000 n=1, low sample

Multi Level Apartment $325,000 n=1, low sample
2 Storey, 3 Storey No sales this period  

How Much Are Buyers Negotiating?

Median sale-to-list ratio: 98.7%

Over the last 30 days: 24% of homes sold above asking, 8% sold right at asking, and 68% sold below their final list price. That's useful context for both sides — sellers pricing realistically are still finding buyers close to ask, but the majority of transactions still involve some negotiation.

How Fast Are Homes Selling?

Median Days on Market: 19 days across East YEG over the last 30 days.

Price Reduction Watch

34.9% of current active listings (53 of 152) have already reduced their asking price at least once, with a median reduction of $20,900. That's a meaningful share of the market — worth knowing whether you're pricing a home to sell or watching for a buying opportunity.

New This Week in East YEG

17 new listings hit the market across East YEG this week. A few worth a closer look:

Lowest $/Sq Ft This Week

Ottewell — $279,000

$241.07/sq ft — the most affordable price-per-square-foot among this week's new East YEG listings.

Legal Basement Suite

Bonnie Doon — $699,000

Confirmed legal secondary suite — a strong option for buyers considering mortgage-helper income.

Relisted, Not New

Bonnie Doon — 8860 93 ST NW — $760,000

Shows as 3 days on market. In reality, this home first listed April 27 at $860,000, sat for 108 days before coming off market, and returned August 21 at a $100,000 lower price. True time trying to sell: roughly 4 months.

Of this week's 17 new listings, 4 are properties returning to market after a previous listing was terminated or expired — their advertised days-on-market resets, but their real history doesn't. Across all of East YEG right now, roughly 9% of active listings fall into this same category. Worth knowing whether you're evaluating a "new" listing or negotiating on one that's already tested the market once.
