“Our spring market has unmistakably declared its arrival with the influx of new listings and rising inventory. April marked the first time in a while that our current inventory has been on par with or higher than last year’s levels,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton 2025 Board Chair Darlene Reid. “Though, what’s interesting is we’ve seen inventory levels decline in the negative double digits for the better part of the last 12 months, and the dwindling supply has put pressure on home prices. That pressure won’t alleviate unless this upward trend for inventory continues well past the busy season. We can still expect prices to continue to increase in the short term through the warmer months.”
