🏡 Calgary vs. Edmonton — two cities, two housing markets, but surprisingly similar selling timelines! 📊
September 2026's real estate numbers show that homes in Alberta's two largest cities are spending a similar amount of time on the market, with a few interesting differences depending on property type.
📊 While the numbers are close, a few differences stand out:
🏡 Calgary's detached homes are selling about 6 days faster than Edmonton's.
🏘️ Edmonton's row homes and townhouses are moving about 4 days faster than Calgary's.
🏢 Apartment and condo listings are taking nearly the same amount of time to sell in both cities, at around 54–55 days.
But while selling timelines may be similar, living in Calgary and Edmonton can offer two very different experiences!
🏔️ Calgary offers convenient access to the Rocky Mountains, a growing urban lifestyle and a diverse housing market.
🌳 Edmonton is known for its relative housing affordability, extensive river valley park system and vibrant festivals and cultural attractions.
So, if you're thinking about making a move, the question isn't just "How quickly are homes selling?" It's also "Which city fits the lifestyle and home I'm looking for?"
