🎧 Edmonton Real Estate Market Insights for 2026

Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

Edmonton's real estate market is entering a very different phase heading into 2026. In today's episode, Wayne and Gabby break down what's really happening beneath the headlines — from infill policy changes and affordability pressures to 2026 home price forecasts and population trends.

This episode is about cutting through opinions and focusing on data, lived experience, and what it all means for investors who want long-term stability instead of chaos as we move into 2026.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

• Why Edmonton's aggressive infill strategy is being reconsidered in 2026 and what proposed changes could mean for investors

• The key differences between corner-lot and mid-block infill development and why residents are pushing back

• How lot size, unit caps, parking constraints, and mature neighborhoods are shaping the future of infill

• National home price forecasts for 2026 and why Alberta markets are expected to outperform Toronto and Vancouver

• 2026 price projections for Calgary vs Edmonton and what they signal for investors

• Why Wayne prefers modest, boring appreciation over rapid price growth

• How rising prices, flat rents, and affordability ceilings create risk for rental investors in 2026

• Why population growth in Edmonton is slowing and how that impacts housing demand

• The link between employment trends, tenant affordability, and rental stability

• Why three-bedroom units and strong tenant profiles matter more than ever heading into 2026
