What happened
Remax Canada released its Fall/Winter 2026 Spotlight on Luxury report, which found that Edmonton’s luxury housing market saw a nearly 16 per cent increase in sales of homes costing over $1 million during the first nine months of 2026 compared to 2025. In total, 458 homes above $1 million were sold, and sales of homes priced above $3 million rose 36 per cent. Michael Altneu, vice-president of luxury at Remax, attributed the spike to a combination of a strong energy sector, capital investment, and buyer confidence.

Why it matters
The increase in high-value property sales suggests continued strength in Edmonton's real estate sector. The report indicates that while economic and geopolitical concerns cause some buyers to pause, demand remains high for modern builds and luxury infill housing in specific neighborhoods.
