Each figure is that type's 12-month rolling median of what actually sold — not a same-home price. We don't publish a single all-types "typical home" number at the district level: when the sales mix shifts (say, more apartments sell one year than the last), a blended median moves even though no home changed value. A true same-home index (the MLS® Home Price Index) isn't published below the city level — for that read, see the Edmonton Market Report.

Buyer's or seller's territory?

Absorption is the share of homes for sale that actually sell in a month — the clearest single read on who holds the leverage. Across all home types combined, this district runs at 23% , which grades as buyer's market on the Edmonton consumer gauge — against 28% for the city as a whole .

Buyer's 0–30% Balanced 30–50% Seller's 50%+ city 28% 23%

The verdict above uses one yardstick (the consumer gauge). Here's the same district against every published reference band — CREA's and the Bank of Canada's — so you can apply your own judgment:

One line per home type — solid lines have a solid sample; dashed lines are small samples, so read those loosely. Each point is the trailing-12-month rolling median at that month — smoothed on purpose, so one unusual month can't fake a trend.

What's typical, by home type

Each stat is its own median across that type's sales here in the past year — not one specific home.

Types are grouped by built form, not title: "Semi-detached" is half duplexes; "Row/Townhouse" covers townhouses and other attached homes whether condo-titled or freehold. Types with fewer than 8 sales in the year aren't shown on their own — they're still counted in the all-types totals above.

Based on 2,018 sales over the past 12 months — plenty to trust the numbers above.

How to tell if an area favours buyers or sellers (30 seconds)

The workhorse number is absorption — the share of the homes for sale that actually sell in a month (sales ÷ active listings). Under ~30% is a buyer's market, ~30–50% is balanced, over ~50% is a seller's market (the Edmonton consumer gauge). The lower it runs, the more leverage buyers have.

Around it: months of inventory is the same idea flipped (how long today's listings would take to sell at today's pace), days to sell is how long a typical home sat before selling, and sale-to-list is what sellers actually got versus asking (~98% means homes sell about 2% under ask). Every area is shown against the city — and neighbourhoods against their district too — so you can see at a glance whether it runs hotter or cooler than the market around it.

Sample sizes matter down here. 20+ sales in a year is a solid sample; 8–19 is shown as a hint (small sample); below 8, an area doesn't get its own numbers — check its district instead. Prices are 12-month rolling medians of what actually sold, compared to the same window a year earlier.

Neighbourhoods in Southwest

Every Southwest neighbourhood with at least 8 sales in the past year has its own market page. Pick a home type — prices are never blended across types:
