When you think of buying or selling a home, the first thing that comes to mind might be contracts, listings, or keys changing hands. But real estate is so much more than the transaction. It’s the movers who carry your memories, the mortgage broker who helps you secure your future, and the lawyer who protects your investment.

As someone who has guided hundreds of clients through Edmonton’s real estate market, I know firsthand how important these partners are. The professionals you choose shape your experience — they can make the process seamless or stressful. That’s why, at Iconic YEG, we don’t just connect you to homes. We connect you to people you can trust.

And when we make those recommendations, we choose to lift up women-owned businesses.

Why Women-Owned Matters

Supporting women-owned businesses isn’t a box to check — it’s a conscious decision to invest in entrepreneurs who bring resilience, empathy, and accountability to their work.

Women in business often face barriers their male counterparts don’t: access to financing, representation in leadership, and visibility in competitive industries. By choosing women-owned companies, you’re helping level the playing field while also gaining service providers who are often community-driven, relationship-focused, and deeply invested in client care.

For me, it’s also personal. As the Owner of Iconic YEG, I know what it takes to build a business as a woman. Every recommendation on this list comes from experience, trust, and the shared belief that we can succeed by lifting each other up.

A heartfelt thank you to Jai Tanninen for allowing us to feature his incredible artwork in this Iconic Downtown Edmonton Loft. His creativity and vision bring an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the space — transforming it from a home into a gallery that tells a story.

We’re grateful to showcase not only one of Edmonton’s rare historic lofts, but also the powerful work of a local artist whose pieces inspire, challenge, and reflect the creative spirit of our city.

About Jai Tanninen

Jai Tanninen has always known he wanted to be an artist. Growing up on Lake Simcoe in Barrie, Ontario, he spent his childhood sketching and refining his style before pursuing his BFA at Georgian College. After time in Vancouver, he moved to Edmonton, where he committed to building his art career, and dedicating more time to his studio practice.

Every painting carries layers of identity, pop culture, and introspection. Featured throughout this loft, Jai’s work brings colour, depth, and storytelling to exposed brick walls—making the space feel like your own gallery.

Many of his paintings include subjects viewing art within the painting itself, blurring the line between viewer and artwork, and allowing him to play with multiple styles in a single piece. His style is deliberately varied: part realism, part abstract, part pop art — a refusal to be pinned down.

✨ Own the loft. Own the art. Own the lifestyle.

When you walk through the doors of Seventh Street Lofts, you don’t just enter a condo building — you step into Edmonton’s history. Originally built in 1929 as the John Deere Warehouse, this striking brick and beam landmark has been reimagined by DUB Architects into one of the city’s most coveted addresses for artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and urban explorers.

And in a city filled with cookie-cutter condos, it’s worth knowing: there are only about 200 true historic lofts across Edmonton. Living here isn’t just about owning real estate — it’s about joining a rare community of people who value authenticity, creativity, and character.

Inside the Loft: 945 SQFT of Creative Freedom

Unit #208 isn’t your typical one-bedroom. It’s a 945 SQFT top-floor corner loft with an energy all its own.

You’re greeted by exposed brick walls, soaring 13 ft wood-beam ceilings, and oversized south- and east-facing windows that flood the space with sunlight. Morning light spills across concrete floors and highlights textures of brick and fir beams, setting the stage for inspiration.

The open-concept design makes this loft incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a musician with a grand piano, an artist who needs studio space, or someone who just loves big, airy living rooms filled with plants — this unit adapts to your life, not the other way around.

• The kitchen is modern and practical, with stainless steel appliances and an island perfect for wine nights or slow Sunday brunches.

• The bedroom is private and cozy, anchored by a massive wardrobe system that feels more boutique than apartment.

• The bathroom has been fully renovated — sleek, modern, and spa-like.

• The brand new A/C ensures that even in the peak of summer, your loft and everything inside it stays cool.

This isn’t just a condo. It’s a canvas.

Building Vibes: Seventh Street Lofts Community

Living in Seventh Street Lofts means surrounding yourself with people who choose character over convention. The building itself exudes industrial chic, from its warehouse heritage to its modern upgrades. Residents here tend to be:

• Artists & musicians, who love the natural light and raw finishes.

• Entrepreneurs & creatives, drawn to the building’s unique identity.

• Design lovers, who crave something more authentic than drywall boxes.

It’s a building where neighbuors appreciate individuality, pets are welcome, and short-term rentals (Airbnb) are allowed — giving you flexibility in how you live and invest.

The Neighborhood: Downtown Edmonton’s Creative Core

Step outside, and you’re right in the heart of Downtown Edmonton. Life here is about energy, culture, and convenience:

• MacEwan University is just steps away, keeping the neighborhood young and vibrant.

• The Ice District with Rogers Place, concerts, and Oilers games is around the corner.

• The Downtown Farmers Market is an easy stroll — fresh food, local vendors, and weekend energy.

• Cafés, craft breweries, live music venues, and galleries are all within walking distance.

• Soon, a new LRT station will connect you directly to the University of Alberta and the river valley.

Living here means you don’t just go out — you’re already in the middle of it all.

Bonus: Live With Local Art

Right now, the loft is staged with the work of local artist Jai Tanninen — bold, thought-provoking pieces that play perfectly against the raw textures of brick and concrete. Even better? The art is for sale.

Imagine moving in and curating your loft with Edmonton’s own creative voice — owning not just a home, but a lifestyle layered in history and artistry.

Why This Loft is Different

• Rare: Only ~200 true historic lofts in Edmonton.

• Spacious: 945 SQFT top-floor corner unit.

• Character: Brick, beams, and ceilings you can’t replicate.

• Flexible: Pet-friendly, Airbnb-friendly, and designed to adapt.

• Connected: Walkable downtown location with future LRT access.

Loft Life is Lifestyle

Living in Seventh Street Lofts isn’t about ticking boxes — it’s about waking up in a space that inspires you every single day. It’s about light pouring in on your morning coffee, about nights hosting friends in a home that feels like a gallery, and about being part of one of Edmonton’s most authentic creative communities.

This isn’t just a home. It’s a way of life.

Some homes don’t just offer square footage — they change how you live. 205, 9316 82 Avenue is one of those rare finds: a 1-bedroom + Den, 1.5-bath condo in Trinity Point that blends strength, beauty, and location in a way most buildings simply can’t.

Strength in Design

Concrete and steel construction sets this home apart. It means quiet, it means safety, it means permanence. In a market full of cookie-cutter builds, this one was designed to last — and it shows.

Space That Works for You

Inside, the layout flows easily:

• A kitchen built for real cooking with gas stove, built-in oven, granite counters, and room to gather.

• 9-foot ceilings and oversized windows that draw in natural light and expand the space.

• Engineered hardwood and a gas fireplace that bring both warmth and character.

• A steam shower ensuite that turns routine into ritual.

• A second room with sprinkler system, perfect for work, guests, or creative space.

Add in a massive laundry/storage room and secure underground parking, and the function matches the form.

A Balcony Worth Pausing For 🌿

The balcony is not an afterthought — it’s a front-row seat to Mill Creek Ravine. Morning coffee, late-night wine, the sound of trees moving with the wind… this view doesn’t belong to everyone, but it could belong to you.

The Location You Secretly Wanted All Along

You can walk to Whyte Avenue, bike to the University of Alberta, wander the French Quarter, or head Downtown in minutes. And when you’ve had enough of the city, the River Valley and Ravine trails are right outside your door. It’s a rare thing in Edmonton: central, connected, and still rooted in nature.

Who This Home Is For

This isn’t just for one type of buyer. It’s for:

• Professionals who want a stylish home base with quick access everywhere.

• Downsizers who are done with yard work but not willing to sacrifice quality.

• First-time buyers who want more than an entry-level box.

Why This Listing Matters

Trinity Point is more than a condo building — it’s a community built on quality. Pet-friendly, well-managed, with amenities that make sense (a fitness room, secure parking, and thoughtful design). Homes here rarely come available, and for good reason.

Own It Before Someone Else Does

At $299,900, this home delivers a lifestyle you won’t find duplicated in Edmonton’s condo market. If you’ve been waiting for the right home to come along — one that doesn’t compromise on views, design, or location — this is it.

If you’ve been searching for a modern Edmonton condo for sale that blends style, convenience, and value, look no further. 515, 10518 113 Street NW in the sought-after Urban Maxx Living building has just hit the market for $214,900—and it’s more than just a condo; it’s a lifestyle upgrade.

Represented by Caitlin Heine, REALTOR® with ICONIC YEG, this property is a standout opportunity for first-time buyers, students, professionals, and investors looking for the perfect downtown location.

Why This Condo Stands Out

• 2 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms – including an ensuite with walk-through closet.

• Open-Concept Layout – 839 sq ft with 9 ft ceilings and laminate flooring.

• Modern Kitchen – Quartz countertops, raised island, stainless steel appliances.

• Floor-to-Ceiling Windows – natural light + incredible downtown Edmonton views.

• Balcony with Gas BBQ Hookup – perfect for summer entertaining.

• Air Conditioning – a rare perk in many Edmonton condos.

• Heated Underground Parking with Storage – safe, convenient, and secure.

• Steel & Concrete Construction – quieter, safer, and more durable than wood-frame alternatives.

This home is move-in ready with quick possession available—just bring your furniture and start enjoying urban life.

The Queen Mary Park Lifestyle

Living in Queen Mary Park means you’re steps away from Edmonton’s best:

• MacEwan University – ideal for students or anyone working in academia.

• Rogers Place & Ice District – NHL games, concerts, and nightlife.

• Brewery District – local breweries, groceries, gyms, and everyday essentials.

• Manchester Square & 124 Street – Edmonton’s most creative and trendy shops, cafés, and restaurants.

• Transit Access – buses and LRT nearby make commuting simple.

This neighbourhood is also part of Edmonton’s revitalization district, meaning long-term investment in infrastructure and growth. It’s a smart time to buy here.

Why Rent When You Can Own?

For under $215K, you could own a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with underground parking, storage, and air conditioning—right in downtown Edmonton. Compare that to rental rates, and it’s clear this is not only a lifestyle move but also a financially smart investment.

Whether you’re tired of paying rent, looking to downsize, or searching for a rental property near MacEwan University, this condo checks every box.

It’s been a dynamic summer for the Edmonton real estate market. According to the latest data from the Realtors Association of Edmonton (RAE), new listings jumped 20% year-over-year in July 2025, creating a notable surge in inventory across the region. For buyers, this brings more options. But for sellers? The story is more nuanced.

Inventory Surge: What the Numbers Say

In July 2025, the greater Edmonton region saw 4,387 new listings, up 7.8% from June and 20% from the same time last year. Total active listings reached 7,083 — a 21.8% increase year-over-year.

Yet, despite this supply boost, sales activity softened slightly. There were 2,860 home sales in July, marking a 2.6% dip from 2024 and a 0.5% decrease from the previous month.

So what’s happening here?

According to RAE Board Chair Darlene Reid, while the influx of listings gives buyers more choice, we haven’t fully shifted into buyer territory. Inventory remains around 2.7 months, well below the six-month threshold typically used to define a buyer’s market.

A Tale of Many Markets: The Micro Trends Matter

Whether you’re buying or selling, it’s important to understand that Edmonton doesn’t operate as a single, monolithic market. Some areas are very much still in seller’s market territory — especially when properties are well-priced and detached.”

• Detached homes averaged 31 days on market and accounted for 1,690 sales in July.

• Condos, on the other hand, averaged 46 days on market and saw 471 sales, highlighting a slower pace and more buildup in inventory for this segment.

Buyers looking for condos will find an abundance of options — and potentially better negotiating power — while detached home shoppers may still need to act quickly, especially in popular areas.

More Buyers, More Caution: What’s Changing in Buyer Psychology?

Compared to the frenzied pace of previous years — when homes were selling in hours and offers were made sight-unseen — today’s buyers are more strategic.  Buyers today aren’t gripped by FOMO (fear of missing out) — they’re increasingly guided by FOPO (fear of overpaying). In a high-interest-rate environment, affordability matters more than ever.

New Builds vs. Resale: Which Way Are Buyers Leaning?

With Edmonton leading the country in housing starts, buyers now face a choice: character-filled resale homes or turnkey new builds. Newer homes offer modern finishes, energy-efficient systems, and warranty protection — often a major draw for those seeking peace of mind.

But resale homes still carry unique appeal — mature neighbourhoods, established schools, tree-lined streets, and often, larger lots.

Edmonton’s Affordability Advantage

Despite national headlines about unaffordable housing in cities like Vancouver and Toronto, Edmonton remains one of Canada’s most affordable major markets.

According to Zoocasa, the average monthly mortgage payment in Edmonton is approximately $2,336, up from $1,658 in 2015 — but still far below the sky-high payments in B.C. and Ontario. Many Albertans who bought in 2020–2021 are now renewing at higher rates, facing $300–$400/month increases, yet most are managing by adjusting their budgets elsewhere.

What’s more, migration trends are working in our favour. Families and professionals from expensive provinces are increasingly choosing Alberta — and particularly Edmonton — for its balance of city amenities and affordability.

Market Outlook: What to Expect Heading Into Fall

While summer often brings a natural slowdown, experts agree: Fall could bring renewed activity. Edmonton’s aggregate home price is projected to climb to $493,000 by year-end — a 7% annual increase — even as growth slows in Toronto and Vancouver.

The takeaway? Edmonton is still a strong market, even if the pace has moderated.

Final Thoughts: What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

As a real estate professional and owner of Iconic YEG, I’m closely watching these trends and guiding clients accordingly. Here’s my advice:

• For Buyers: This is your moment to explore. With more inventory, less pressure, and relatively stable prices, you can afford to be thoughtful. But act decisively if you find “the one.”

• For Sellers: Price strategically. The right pricing, marketing, and presentation still lead to quick, successful sales — especially in hot sub-markets or for detached homes.

• For Everyone: The Edmonton market isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your neighborhood, property type, and timing all matter. That’s why having a real estate partner who knows the nuances of this city is key.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling your current one, or just exploring your options — Iconic YEG is here to help you make your move with confidence.

Let’s turn the market data into a smart, strategic plan — together.
