Edmonton's homes market is shifting to a balanced year ahead edmontonjournal.com/life/homes/edm…

After a period of strong seller-driven activity, Edmonton’s housing market is expected to move toward a more balanced state in the coming year. At our Economic Forecast Dinner, industry experts examined housing trends expected in 2026, highlighting that increased construction and a growing supply of new homes have led to higher inventory levels, while demand requires more time to catch up.

In a new Edmonton Journal op-ed, our member Chris Nicholas makes a clear case for why growth should be a source of pride for Edmonton — not something to second-guess. At a time when cities across Canada are scrambling to attract people, talent, and investment, Edmonton is doing something right. In 2025 alone, Alberta saw more than 50,000 housing starts, with roughly 20,000 of those in the Edmonton Metro Region. People are choosing Edmonton for its affordability, job opportunities, and the real possibility of homeownership — especially for newcomers and young people. That's why recent City Council conversations casting doubt on growth are so concerning. As Chris points out, these discussions directly contradict council's own long-range plans, infrastructure strategies, and land-use policies that were explicitly designed to support growth. "Casting doubt on growth - especially after approving long-range plans, infrastructure strategies, and land use policies that explicitly support it — creates uncertainty," he writes. “Uncertainty costs money, weakens investor confidence, slows housing delivery, and ultimately makes affordability harder to achieve for the very residents that this council is tasked with serving." Once more, for those in the back: growth isn't the problem. Waffling on it is. Read the full story: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
