Edmonton Housing vs. Inflation and Other Housing Markets
Edmonton remains an affordable housing market compared to other large Canadian cities. Over the past 20 years, benchmark Edmonton house prices have increased by 104%, compared with a CPI inflation of 54%. Meanwhile, the population of Edmonton and its surroundings grew by 62% from 1,043,000 (in 2005) to 1,692,000 (in 2025).
Looking at the more recent history, the ten-year price growth of homes in Edmonton, 23%, has been very modest compared to other major Canadian cities, most notably 41% for the Toronto housing market, 105% for the Montreal housing market, 38% for the Calgary housing market, 79% for the Ottawa housing market and 7.7% for the Vancouver housing market (which was at a Frenzy peak 10 years ago). This underperformance suggests the relative absence of speculation in the Edmonton real estate market, which, in turn, implies a relatively ample housing supply. Given the correlation between home unaffordability and over-regulation of land use, Edmonton home buyers are reaping the fruits of housing freedom, especially the fast approval of housing projects.
Note: The benchmark price reflects the value of a typical home based on MLS® HPI, while the average and median prices represent actual transactions. High-end sales can skew the average, while the median is less sensitive to extremes.

Glossary and Definitions
MLS® Home Price Index (HPI): Developed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the MLS® HPI is the most advanced tool for tracking price trends in the Canadian housing market. Rather than using simple average prices, which can be skewed by the mix of homes sold in a given month, the HPI tracks the value of a "Benchmark Home"—a property with typical attributes for its specific neighborhood. This allows for an accurate "apples-to-apples" comparison of home values across different regions and time periods, independent of a property's specific features or seasonal volatility. To ensure the index remains relevant, CREA performs an annual review every May to account for evolving market dynamics.
MLS® HPI Benchmark Price: This is the dollar value assigned to a "typical" home in a specific neighborhood. While the HPI itself is an index number used to track trends, the Benchmark Price translates that data into a real-world dollar figure, representing what a standard home with average features (like square footage, rooms, and lot size) would likely sell for in today's market.
Property types
Detached home: A detached home is your standard single-family home. It is a residential building that stands alone and is separately titled or legally a single unit.
Semi-detached home: A semi-detached home is similar to a detached home, except it shares a wall with another home. This pair of homes must make up an independent building and each should be separately titled or legally two separate units. There can only be two homes in a semi-detached building.
Townhouses: A townhouse is the middle between a detached/semi-detached home and a condo apartment. Like detached and semi-detached homes, they are often single-family units that have their own land and may be attached to other units. However, like condo apartments, they typically have to pay co-ownership fees for maintenance and may share some common features with their neighbors.
Condo apartment: This category includes all apartments and condominiums. These are complexes of residential units with common areas such as hallways, parking lots, stairwells, etc. They can be low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise buildings. Unlike townhouses, there are no parts of the lot (the land of the building) where access is reserved for only one owner or occupant. There can be privately owned units and spaces inside the building.
Property Classes
Freeholds: A freehold is any property where the owner owns both the house and the land it is built on. Common freehold property types include: detached, semi-detached, some townhouses, and farmland.
Condominiums: A condominium or condo is any property where the owner owns the home (or unit) but shares ownership of the land and other improvements with a condominium corporation. Common condominium property types include condo apartments and some townhouses.
Leasehold: Leasehold describes the situation where different entities own the land and the structure built on the land. Owners of the buildings have leased the land and pay rent to their landlord while owning the building on the land.
