The Power Behind Iconic YEG

When it comes to Edmonton real estate, experience, expertise, and a proven track record matter. And that’s exactly why Iconic YEG is powered by RE/MAX—the most ICONIC real estate brand in Canada and around the world. But what makes RE/MAX so dominant? Let’s take a look at the history, the numbers, and why RE/MAX agents get the job done better than anyone else in Edmonton.

A Legacy of Excellence: The History of RE/MAX

RE/MAX (short for Real Estate Maximums) was founded in 1973 by Dave and Gail Liniger, two real estate visionaries who wanted to disrupt the traditional brokerage model. Instead of splitting commissions unfairly, they introduced a system where agents could keep more of their earnings while benefiting from powerful brand marketing and industry-leading training. This revolutionary model attracted the best and most experienced agents in the business, setting the stage for RE/MAX to become a global powerhouse.

Fast forward to today, RE/MAX operates in over 110 countries and territories, with more than 140,000 agents worldwide. That’s not just growth—that’s global domination in real estate.

Why RE/MAX Reigns Supreme in Edmonton Real Estate

In Canada—and particularly in Edmonton—RE/MAX has earned its reputation as the top-performing real estate brand. Here’s why:

🏆 Nobody in Canada sells more real estate than RE/MAX. 🏡 RE/MAX agents have more real estate sales experience than other real estate professionals. 💼 RE/MAX agents have the expertise to navigate Edmonton’s competitive market. 📈 Each year, RE/MAX agents help hundreds of thousands of families buy or sell a home.

These aren’t just statistics; they’re proof that RE/MAX consistently outperforms the competition. If you want the best results, you need the best agents—and that’s exactly what Iconic YEG delivers.

January 2025 Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: Trends, Prices & Hot Communities

Looking to buy or sell a home in Edmonton in 2025? The real estate market is off to an exciting start, with key shifts in home sales, pricing trends, and buyer demand shaping the landscape. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a seasoned investor, or a seller looking for the right time to list, understanding the market dynamics is essential for making informed decisions.

Let’s dive into the latest real estate trends, average home prices, and Edmonton’s top-selling communities.

Edmonton Real Estate Market at a Glance (January 2025)

📌 Total Home Sales: 772 properties sold
📌 Average List Price: $546,016
📌 Average Sold Price: $538,358
📌 List-to-Sale Price Ratio: 99%
📌 Average Days on Market (DOM): 49.5 days
📌 Median Days on Market: 33 days

💡 Key Takeaway: Edmonton homes are selling close to asking price, with mid-range homes moving the fastest. If you’re buying, lowball offers won’t cut it—strong offers are essential in this competitive market.

What Price Ranges Are Driving Sales?

Understanding price range trends can help you determine your strategy as a buyer or seller. Here’s where the action is happening:

🔥 High-Demand Price Range: $250K - $500K

This segment dominates Edmonton’s market. Homes in this price range are moving quickly due to affordability and financing options.

✔️ For buyers: Be prepared for competition—have your mortgage pre-approval ready and act fast when you find the right home.

✔️ For sellers: If your home is in this range, it’s an excellent time to list. Multiple offers are possible, especially with a strong pricing strategy.

Search Homes Under $300,000.00

Search Homes $300,000 - $400,000

Search Homes $400,000 - $500,000

🏡 Mid-Range Homes: $500K - $750K

The $500K - $750K range is seeing steady demand. Homes take a bit longer to sell but remain a strong investment opportunity.

✔️ For sellers: Pricing competitively is key—overpricing can lead to longer market times.

✔️ For buyers: This range offers more options and less intense bidding wars compared to lower price points.

Search Homes $500,000 - $600,000

Search Homes $600,000 - $750,000

💎 Luxury Homes: $1M+

High-end properties are selling slower than mid-range homes. Luxury buyers are selective, and homes in this segment often require strategic marketing and patience.

✔️ For sellers: Be prepared for a longer selling cycle—ensure your home is staged and marketed professionally to attract the right buyers.

✔️ For buyers: There’s more room for negotiation in this market segment, making it a great time to secure a high-value investment.

Search Luxury Homes

How Fast Are Homes Selling? (Days on Market)

Speed matters in real estate. Here’s how different price segments are performing:

$250K - $500K: Fastest-selling homes. These properties have the shortest Days on Market (DOM), reflecting high demand.

$500K - $750K: Balanced market. Homes are selling steadily but require strategic pricing.
