If you’re buying a home in Southwest Edmonton, one of the biggest decisions you may have to make is whether to buy brand new or choose an established resale home.

At first glance, new construction has an obvious appeal. Everything is new. The floor plans are modern. The finishes are current. You have warranty protection and, depending on the builder and stage of construction, you may even get to choose some of the finishes yourself.

But resale homes offer something new construction often cannot: an established location.

Mature trees. Finished streets. Existing schools. Shopping that is already open. Parks that are already built. And in many cases, the ability to live inside Anthony Henday Drive rather than continuing farther south.

If you’re looking for a home in Southwest Edmonton, there’s a good chance Windermere, Terwillegar and Riverbend will all end up on your list.

They are three of the most recognizable residential areas in southwest Edmonton, and all three offer strong access to amenities, schools, recreation and major transportation routes.

But they do not feel the same.

After selling real estate in Edmonton since 2010, I find the easiest way to explain the difference is this:

Riverbend is the choice for buyers who want a more established, mature and quieter neighbourhood environment.

Windermere is the choice for buyers who want newer construction, modern architecture and newer development, particularly south of Anthony Henday Drive.

Terwillegar sits…

How to Choose a Realtor in Edmonton: What to Look for Before You Hire

Choosing a Realtor starts with finding someone who has relevant experience, strong local knowledge, a proven track record and a clear strategy for your situation. Interviewing two or three agents can help you compare their approach to pricing, marketing, negotiation, communication and fees.

The best Realtor for you isn't necessarily the agent who promises the highest sale price, charges the lowest commission or has the most signs around town. It's the person who can clearly explain their recommendations, support them with evidence and give you confidence that your interests will come first.

I've been helping people buy, sell and invest in Edmonton real estate since 2010, and…

A Unique Belgravia Home With Room to Make It Your Own

Finding a home in Belgravia is one thing. Finding a property that gives you the flexibility to move in today, renovate over time, or explore the potential to create something entirely your own is considerably harder.

This new Belgravia listing offers exactly that.

Situated on a large reverse-pie corner lot, this unique home offers nearly 2500 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a single attached garage and a layout you simply don’t see every day.

For buyers searching for a home in one of Edmonton’s most established central neighbourhoods—particularly those wanting to be close to the University of Alberta, Edmonton’s River Valley and Whyte Avenue—this property…

Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: August 2026

The Edmonton real estate market continued to cool in August, and we're starting to see clearer evidence that the balance between buyers and sellers is changing.

Sales slowed, inventory remained considerably higher than last year, and prices edged lower compared with July. That doesn't mean Edmonton is suddenly experiencing a major downturn. But it does mean the highly competitive market conditions we've become accustomed to over the last few years are becoming less common.

For buyers, that means more choice and potentially more negotiating power.

For sellers, pricing and presentation are becoming increasingly important.

Here's what happened in the Greater Edmonton Area real estate market in…

Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: July 2026

Sylvester Realty Group | Exquisite Homes, Exceptional Service Edmonton, AB — August 2026

Quick answer: Edmonton home sales fell 7.6% in July 2026 compared to June and 11.0% compared to July 2025, the clearest sign yet that this spring's market intensity has faded into ordinary summer seasonality. Average sale price was $475,079 (down 1.8% from June, up 2.6% year-over-year), while the MLS® Home Price Index benchmark held flat year-over-year at $429,100. Inventory remains 17.9% higher than a year ago, so buyers still have real selection heading into fall.

Last month's numbers were a bit of a Rorschach test, good news or bad news depending which comparison you picked. July doesn't leave much room for…

Heavy Rain Home Maintenance: A Homeowner's Guide to Preventing Water Damage

When the forecast calls for days of steady rain, most of us think about umbrellas and rescheduling weekend plans. What we don't always think about is what's happening to our homes while the water comes down. Yet a heavy storm is one of the best opportunities you'll ever get to spot a problem before it becomes an expensive repair.

Water is patient. It finds the smallest gap, the lowest point, the tiniest crack, and it works its way in slowly. By the time you notice a stain on the ceiling or a musty smell in the basement, the damage has often been building for weeks or months. The good news? A little attention during and after a storm can save you thousands of dollars and a…

More Listings, Steady Prices, and a Market Finding Its Balance

If you've been watching Edmonton real estate closely, April delivered exactly what the market needed: momentum tempered by balance.

No frenzy. No stagnation. Just a market quietly recalibrating, and creating real opportunity on both sides of the table.

Here's what the numbers are telling us.

Sales & Inventory: Buyers Finally Have Room to Breathe

The Greater Edmonton Area recorded 2,482 home sales in April, up 16.4% from March, though still 8.1% below April 2025's pace.

More telling is what's happening with supply. New listings climbed to 4,204, rising 13.9% month-over-month and 9.1% year-over-year. Overall inventory is up a striking 31.4% compared to last April.

Edmonton Real Estate Market Update: April 2026

The Edmonton housing market is active in 2026, but it's no longer forgiving. Here's exactly what's happening, what it means for buyers and sellers, and why Edmonton still stands out from the rest of Canada.

Is the Edmonton Real Estate Market Good Right Now?

The short answer: it depends on what you're doing, and how well you're doing it.

March brought the usual seasonal surge in activity. But beneath the surface, the story is more nuanced than a simple "up or down." Sales are up from February, inventory is up from last year, and prices are holding steady. What we're seeing is a classic transition market, one where strategy matters more than momentum.

Let me break it down.
