“It’s not unusual for market activity to drop sharply at the end of the year as the holiday season takes hold, nor is it unusual to see price negotiations favour buyers at this time of year. However, detached homes and row/townhouses performed particularly well during the final month of 2025, posting price growth of 2.3% and 2.6% respectively. By comparison, condo/apartment prices declined 5.7% month-over-month and were the only property type to record a decrease compared to 2024.”” –Darlene Reid, 2025 Board Chair, REALTORS® Association of Edmonton
