Updated August 2026
As of August 2026, the rental vacancy rate in Edmonton is 2.7%, based on Real-IQ's daily tracking of 4062 active listings. That is below the roughly 3% mark CMHC considers balanced, so availability is limited and conditions modestly favour landlords.
Average asking rent in Edmonton currently sits at $1,032 for a studio, $1,249 for a one-bedroom, $1,600 for a two-bedroom. These figures refresh every 24 hours from live listings, so they reflect what tenants are being asked to pay today — not a survey taken months ago.
