CREA data shows home sales up 0.5% while new listings fall 1.6% — regional markets shift toward balanced territory
As someone who’s been part of Edmonton’s real estate scene for over 15 years, I always keep a close eye on the national numbers. According to the latest CREA data, we’re seeing a slight uptick in Canadian home sales—up 0.5%—while new listings have dropped by 1.6%. The sales-to-new listings ratio now sits at 51.3%, signaling a move toward more balanced market conditions in many regions. Inventory remains tight at just 4.7 months, and prices are holding steady with modest growth. For buyers and sellers alike, this kind of balance often brings both opportunity and clarity. It’s interesting to see how these shifts might play out here in Edmonton and across Canada.
