## City market context

From the Edmonton market article, 11 October 2026:

The Greater Edmonton Area composite benchmark price declined 0.3% year-over-year in September 2026. Months of inventory reached 4.2, up 16.6% from the prior year. Edmonton's housing market is shifting toward greater buyer leverage as rising inventory outpaces sales growth, evidenced by a 16.6% year-over-year increase in months of supply to 4.2.
