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.

Let’s Be Real — The Market is Changing

Edmonton, we’ve got a shift on our hands.
For months, sellers have been in the driver’s seat. Now? Buyers are starting to slide into the passenger seat — and in some cases, they’ve got their hand on the wheel.

Here’s what’s happening right now:

• Inventory is up — July saw 4,387 new listings, a 7.8% jump from June.

• Active listings now sit at 7,083 homes — 21.8% more than last summer.

• Benchmark prices dipped to $427,800 (down 2.7% from June), but still 5.2% higher year-over-year.

What does that mean for you?
If you’re buying, you have breathing room. If you’re selling, you need a plan.

For Buyers: Finally, Some Elbow Room

Remember earlier this year when houses were getting snatched up before you could even book a showing? Those days are cooling off.

You’ve got more choice, more negotiating power, and — best of all — less pressure to make a rushed decision.

Here’s what I’ll do for you as your agent:

• Hunt down the homes that haven’t hit your radar yet — the ones with hidden value.

• Negotiate like your future equity depends on it (because it does).

• Help you buy smart, so you love your home and your investment years from now.

Edmonton is still one of the most affordable major cities in Canada. That’s a gift, and in a cooling-but-strong market, timing matters.

For Sellers: Stand Out, Don’t Just Show Up

With more homes hitting the market, buyers are getting picky. If your property doesn’t stop them in their tracks, it’s just another scrolling swipe.

Here’s how I make sure that doesn’t happen:

• Strategic pricing so your home is the one people have to see.

• Marketing that pops — professional photos, staging, and social content that makes buyers pause mid-scroll.

• Clear communication and sharp negotiation so you never feel in the dark — and you always walk away knowing you got the best deal possible.

This is not the time to wing it. It’s the time to work with someone who knows how to get eyes — and offers — on your property.

Who I Am (and Why My Clients Call Me First)

I’m Caitlin Heine, REALTOR® with Iconic YEG | RE/MAX Real Estate.
My clients know me as:

• Warm but direct — I’ll tell you the truth, even if it’s not what you expected to hear.

• Data-driven — I study the market so your decisions aren’t based on guesswork.

• A relentless advocate — when you hire me, I fight for your goals like they’re my own.

Buying or selling a home is a big deal. You deserve an agent who cares as much about the outcome as you do.

The Bottom Line

August 2025 is a pivotal moment in Edmonton real estate. Buyers are gaining ground. Sellers still have opportunity — but need a strategy.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling, let’s have a real conversation about where you stand and what’s possible. I’ll give you straight answers, a clear plan, and a partner you can trust from the first handshake to the final signature.

Buying a condo in Edmonton can be exciting—especially for first-time buyers and newcomers to Canada. Condominiums often offer convenience, amenities, and a strong sense of community. But purchasing a condo isn’t the same as buying a single-family home.

One of the most important steps in the process is the Condo Document Review—and skipping it could cost you thousands in unexpected fees or lock you into rules that don’t fit your lifestyle.

At Iconic YEG Real Estate, we guide buyers through this process so you can make a confident and informed decision.

What Is a Condo Document Review?

When you buy a condo in Alberta, you’re purchasing both your individual unit and a share in the entire building and common areas—hallways, elevators, lobbies, parking garages, landscaping, and amenities.

A condo document review is your opportunity to investigate how the property is managed, assess its financial health, and spot potential red flags before finalizing the deal.

These documents are provided by the condominium corporation—the legal entity responsible for managing the property on behalf of all owners. They include financial statements, bylaws, reserve fund details, and more.

Why the Condo Document Review Matters

Think of it like a “home inspection” for the entire property—but instead of assessing the physical structure, you’re reviewing its financial and operational health.

A proper review tells you:

• If the building is financially stable or at risk of expensive repairs.

• Whether there are disputes between owners and the condo board.

• What rules you must follow (e.g., pets, rentals, renovations).

• What repairs or upgrades are coming up and how they’ll be funded.

• If the reserve fund is sufficient for future maintenance.

If the review reveals concerns, you can withdraw from the purchase—without losing your deposit—before your condition deadline.

Key Documents in an Edmonton Condo Purchase

Under Alberta’s Condominium Property Act, the seller must provide certain documents for your review, which may include:

1. Information Statement – Overview of condo fees, insurance, and status of the corporation.

2. Bylaws – Rules for living in the community (pets, smoking, parking, rentals, etc.).

3. Financial Statements & Budget – Shows how the condo corporation collects and spends money.

4. Reserve Fund Study & Plan – Engineering report outlining the lifespan of building systems and the plan to fund replacements.

5. Meeting Minutes – Records from board and annual meetings—often where upcoming projects or disputes are discussed.

6. Insurance Certificate – Confirms the building’s insurance and what you must insure personally.

7. Special Assessments Notices – Alerts about additional charges for repairs or upgrades beyond the normal budget.

Important Concepts from Alberta’s Condominium Property Act

1. Unit Factors

Every condo unit in Alberta is assigned unit factors, representing your ownership share in the condo corporation.

• These determine your monthly condo fees, voting power, and share of any special assessments.

• Example: If you own 50 unit factors out of 5,000 total, you own 1% of the common property and pay 1% of the shared costs.

2. Reserve Fund

A legally required savings account for major repairs and replacements of common property. The reserve fund must be backed by a Reserve Fund Study and Plan updated every five years.

3. Bylaws

Rules registered on title that govern community living, covering pets, rentals, renovations, noise, and use of common areas. They are legally enforceable.

4. Special Assessments

Extra charges owners must pay—based on unit factors—if the reserve fund or operating budget can’t cover major repairs or unexpected expenses.

5. Voting Rights

Your unit factors also determine your voting weight at Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and special meetings, where owners make important financial and governance decisions.

What to Watch for in a Condo Document Review

• Low reserve fund balance – Risk of special assessments.

• High fee delinquency rates – Indicates cash flow problems.

• Frequent special assessments – Could suggest ongoing issues.

• Major upcoming repairs – Even planned projects may mean higher fees.

• Restrictive bylaws – Make sure they fit your lifestyle.

• Pending lawsuits – May result in large legal costs for all owners.

DIY vs. Professional Review

While you can review the documents yourself, most buyers benefit from hiring a professional condo document reviewer. These specialists know what to look for, how to identify risks, and how to explain the findings in plain language.

The cost in Edmonton is typically a few hundred dollars—small compared to the potential cost of buying into a poorly managed property.

Your Buyer’s Condition Deadline

When making an offer, you can include a Condo Document Review Condition. This gives you a set number of days (often 5–10) to review the documents.

If you’re not satisfied for any reason, you can cancel the contract before the deadline and get your full deposit back.

Quick Tips for Condo Buyers in Edmonton

1. Allow enough time – Don’t rush the review process.

2. Ask questions early – Clarify anything you don’t understand.

3. Plan for fee increases – Most condo fees rise over time.

4. Read the bylaws carefully – Even if the rule doesn’t matter now, it might later.

5. Look for long-term stability – A well-managed condo with fair fees is usually a better investment than a low-fee building with financial troubles.

Buyer’s Glossary: Key Condo Terms in Plain Language

• Unit Factor – Your percentage share of the entire condo property. It determines your condo fees, voting rights, and share of special assessments.

• Reserve Fund – A savings account the condo corporation must keep for big repairs and replacements like roofs, elevators, and parkades.

• Estoppel Certificate – A statement from the condo corporation confirming the financial status of your unit, including if you owe any fees.

• Special Assessment – An extra payment all owners must make if the condo corporation doesn’t have enough money for major repairs or unexpected costs.

Final Word: Protect Yourself Before You Buy

Purchasing a condo in Edmonton is more than just choosing the right unit—it’s buying into a shared investment. A thorough condo document review ensures you understand the property’s financial health, rules, and future plans before committing.

At Iconic YEG Real Estate, we connect you with trusted professionals, guide you through the process, and make sure you have all the information you need to make a confident choice.

Why Sellers Succeed in Riverdale
