Garneau had 10 sales in September 2026, up from 5 in September 2025. The median sold price was $342,500, down 16% from $406,500 a year earlier. The median time to sell was 34 days, up from 30. Homes sold at 95.9% of asking, at a median of $315 per square foot. Six sales were apartments, with a median of $204,750. Three were detached houses, with a median of $600,000. With only 10 sales, the mix of homes moves the median a lot.
For sellers, the lower median price may reflect what sold more than a change in value. Apartments made up most of the sales, and with 10 sales in total it is hard to say more. Detached houses sold in a median of 16 days, but that is only 3 sales. Over the past three months, monthly median sold prices ranged from $314,500 to $342,500. Expect buyers to negotiate. Pricing close to recent comparable sales matters more than aiming high.
Buyers have some room to negotiate. Homes sold at 95.9% of asking after a median of 34 days. In University Area and Old Strathcona, the median sold price was $489,500, with 31 median days and 97.3% of asking. Garneau is a young, renter-heavy area.

How this report is built. Sales come from the MLS® System through the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton and are compiled monthly by Flow State Realty for the area shown. Figures are medians of closed sales, not list prices and not averages, so one unusual sale does not move them. Days to sell is the median days on market for the homes that sold. "Sold vs asking" is the median of each home's sold price divided by its final asking price. Sales data current to September 2026; compiled 2026-10-07. The written summary is generated from these figures only and reviewed by the team. Not intended to solicit properties already listed for sale.
