“Activity in April has continued the upward trend set in March, albeit at a slower pace leading up to May. The year’s highest levels of market activity will occur in the next two months, especially now that the Bank of Canada policy interest rate has been held at 2.25 until at least mid-June.
Expect more listings to hit the market—giving buyers lots of choice—and though prices still have room to rise, we’re unlikely to see as many multiple offer situations as last year.” –Darlene Reid, 2026 Board Chair, REALTORS® Association of Edmonton
