General Real Estate FAQs
Have more questions? We’re here to help. You can contact us here.
What is the Edmonton real estate market like right now?
As of Fall 2025, the Edmonton market is considered balanced. This is a healthy market where neither buyers nor sellers have a strong upper hand. For buyers, this means there is a good amount of inventory to choose from, while sellers can still expect strong prices for well-marketed homes.
What is the absolute first step to buying a home?
Before you do anything else, you should speak with a mortgage professional to get a mortgage pre-approval. This tells you exactly how much you can afford, which is the essential first step before you can begin a serious home search.
What is the single most important factor when selling a home?
Strategic pricing. Setting the right price from day one is the most critical factor in a successful sale. A home that is priced correctly based on a professional market analysis will attract more buyers, more showings, and ultimately a higher final sale price.
Who pays the Realtor® commission?
In a typical real estate transaction, the total commission is paid by the seller from the proceeds of the sale. This commission is then split between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent. This means for a homebuyer, the services of a Realtor® are effectively free.
How is a property’s true value determined?
A property’s true market value is determined by what similar, nearby properties have recently sold for. A professional Realtor® determines this value by performing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), which analyzes recent sales, current competition, and other market data. It is not determined by the city’s tax assessment.
