Edmonton, AB (October 2026) — The Greater Edmonton Area (GEA) real estate market reported 1,959 sales in September 2026, decreasing 8.8% compared to August activity and 10.3% compared to September 2025. There were 3,864 new listings — a month-over-month increase of 7.2% and a year-over-year increase of 11.3%. Inventory levels increased 0.1% from the previous month and are 16.7% higher than September 2025. Average selling price across all residential property types decreased by 0.8% from the previous month to $466,080, a price 2.9% higher than September 2025. The MLS ® Home Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price in the GEA was $423,100, decreasing 0.9% from August 2026 and decreasing 0.3% year-over-year. “Sales activity has slowed with the arrival of the new school year, and although new listings are up, typical seasonal trends suggest sales will not rebound until after year end. Average price is still holding onto the gains it has made in 2026, but when considering year-over-year trends, price growth has slowed over the last few years. The rising inventory in our market could soften that growth even further.” –Darlene Reid, 2026 Board Chair, REALTORS ® Association of Edmonton Statistics reflect market activity in September 2026 | Source: REALTORS ® Association of Edmonton | Market values stated are of the average of Edmonton and surrounding region.

THE JOY OF CROCHET

Crochet has found new popularity and it is easy to see why. Crochet can be social, practical and creative and you don’t need a giant craft room to get started. All you need is yarn and a hook. Beginners can start small. A washcloth, dishcloth, coaster or simple cozy can teach the basic rhythm of stitching in a few days. Small stuffed animals are another popular choice, though they introduce more techniques and can be a little trickier. Granny squares are another classic. Once you have made enough, you can turn them into blankets, pillows, bags or clothing. That makes crochet appealing to people who enjoy projects that can grow over time. The payoff is a finished, usually adorable object that’s impressive for something made with a single hook.
