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.
