Josh & Jay’s video breakdown for November 2023.
Here’s the Greater Edmonton housing market for November 2023, in plain language. The median home sold for $365,000 — held about steady from a year ago, and down 1.4% from the month before. 1,624 homes changed hands, and with 3.4 months of supply on the shelf it was a balanced market.
Where prices landed
The typical Edmonton home came in at $365,000 in November 2023 (the average was $380,471). Over the last six months the median is down 15.6% in a choppy back-and-forth.
The gap between home types is the part worth watching: a detached home ran about $438,000, while an apartment was closer to $153,250. If a detached home feels out of reach this month, a townhouse or apartment is often where the math still works.

Supply and demand
On the demand side, 1,624 sales were 27.1% ahead of last year, against 2,088 new listings. Inventory is down 14.7% year over year, so buyers had fewer homes to choose from than a year ago.
Homes took about 47 days to sell. At 3.4 months of supply this is a balanced market — neither side has the whip hand, which usually means room to negotiate on the right home.

Josh’s mortgage take
Josh Tagg · Indi Mortgage
From the mortgage side: a balanced market is a gift of time. Get pre-approved so you know exactly what you can carry, lock a rate hold while you look, and use the breathing room to choose well rather than chase. Either way, know your number before you shop — it changes every other decision.
Jay’s real-estate take
Jay Lewis · RE/MAX Excellence
From the real-estate side: numbers like these are a starting point, not the whole story — the right neighbourhood and the condition of the actual house matter more than the citywide median. With a builder’s eye I’m looking past the finishes at how a home is actually built, and at value pockets like Spruce Grove, Fort Saskatchewan and St. Albert where your budget can stretch further.
Why the median? We report the median — the middle sale price, where half of homes sold for more and half for less. It reflects a typical Edmonton home better than the average, which a handful of high-end sales can pull upward.
