Terwillegar remains one of Southwest Edmonton’s most desirable communities for both families and investors. In July 2025, market activity showed healthy momentum across both Terwillegar Towne and South Terwillegar, with strong buyer interest and steady listing activity.

South Terwillegar: More Options for Buyers

South Terwillegar experienced an uptick in listings this July, offering more choice for buyers looking in this popular community.

• Median list price: ~$271,000

• Active listings: ~59 homes

• Market trend: Quicker median days on site, reflecting increased activity.

These indicators align with broader Edmonton trends - more inventory, steady pricing, and active summer buyers.

Terwillegar Towne: Detached Homes Driving the Market

Terwillegar Towne, with its detached-heavy profile, maintained a higher median list price:

• Median list price: ~$678,500

• Active listings: ~18 homes

Detached homes continue to be in demand here, with buyers valuing the established feel and family-friendly layout of the neighbourhood.

Year-to-Date Context

By August, estimates indicate:

• South Terwillegar: ~138 transactions in 2025

• Terwillegar Towne: ~75 transactions in 2025

While these are approximate figures (methodology varies from MLS®), they illustrate the area’s strong market velocity.

July Snapshot: Active Listings & Sales

As of mid-July:

• Terwillegar Towne

  • Active single-family homes: 12

  • Sold: 12

Looking Ahead: Preparing for the Fall Market

As we head into the back-to-school season, sellers can position themselves for success with:

• Pre-list inspections to build buyer confidence

• Light updates for curb appeal and interior freshness

• Accurate pricing based on July comparables

Every Terwillegar listing I represented this summer sold successfully, delivering strong pricing and happy clients a clear sign of sustained demand for well-prepared, well-marketed homes.

As September approaches in Edmonton, it’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the challenges of fall and winter. Proactive maintenance not only protects your home’s value but also prevents costly surprises during the long freeze-thaw season.

Exterior and Envelope

• Clean gutters and downspouts – Ensure water is flowing freely and that extensions direct runoff at least 2 meters away from your foundation.

• Inspect your roof, flashing, and vents – Repair loose shingles and seal any small gaps to prevent leaks.

• Seal windows and doors – Caulk and weather-strip where needed; replace cracked seals to reduce drafts and heating costs.

• Winterize outdoor plumbing – Shut and drain exterior hose bibs; schedule sprinkler blow-outs before hard frost hits.

• Check grading – Confirm the ground slopes away from your home to avoid pooling water.

Mechanical and Safety

• Service your furnace – Replace filters and run a test before the first cold snap.

• Test smoke and CO detectors – Replace batteries for reliable protection.

• Chimney and fireplace care – Sweep chimneys and inspect gas fireplaces if applicable.

• Check sump pump – Ensure it’s working and that discharge lines won’t freeze.

• Adjust your humidifier – Set it to winter settings for better indoor air quality.

Interior Readiness

• Inspect attic insulation – Look for signs of moisture or frost.

• Seal basement penetrations – Insulate exposed plumbing on exterior walls to prevent freezing.

• Prepare winter tools now – Shovels, ice melt, and block heater extension cords should be ready before the snow flies.

A few hours in September can save you from mid-winter emergencies.

• Stay proactive new inventory moves fast in sought-after areas.

• Leverage the market’s balance to negotiate terms and price.

Media Spotlight: Nooran on CBC

Earlier this month, I discussed the evolving Edmonton housing market with CBC Edmonton AM. In the interview, I highlighted how inventory is building, sales remain steady, and how labels like “buyer’s market” or “seller’s market” often oversimplify the situation.

Detached homes remain strong, condos offer affordability, and townhomes show more flexibility for negotiation. Ultimately, strategy matters more than the market label.

Final Thoughts

With sales holding steady and inventory climbing, Edmonton’s late-July market offers opportunities for both buyers and sellers provided they navigate it with a clear, informed strategy.

If you’re considering buying or selling, now is the time to position yourself for the fall market shift.

Edmonton is truly one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever lived in — and I say this as someone who has lived on three continents and travels often. When I call a city beautiful, I mean it. There’s something uniquely special about this place that captures your heart and makes you feel at home.

Of course, like many Canadian cities, Edmonton has its share of cold winters. But let’s be honest — where in Canada isn’t cold in the winter? What sets Edmonton apart is its dry climate and the remarkable number of sunny days, even during the chilliest months. That sunshine changes everything. It invites you to step outside, breathe in the crisp air, and enjoy the day rather than hide from it.

Just last week, I was reminded again of how lucky we are to live here. My daughter, my sister, and her grandchildren — visiting all the way from Germany — joined me for a walk to Taste of Edmonton, one of the city’s beloved summer festivals. We strolled down Jasper Avenue, soaking in the views that make this city shine: the Muttart Conservatory domes in the distance, the graceful span of the LRT bridge over the river valley, and the ever-burning flame beside the Shaw Conference Centre.

It was the perfect walk — a simple but powerful reminder that Edmonton is more than just a city. It’s a place that blends natural beauty, cultural vibrancy, and a warm sense of community. And for those of us lucky enough to live here, that beauty is something we get to enjoy every single day.

Congratulations to my lovely, loyal clients Jessica and Cam on our third successful transaction together. Years ago, they bought their first home with me, sold it last month, and now they’ve purchased this stunning walkout home backing onto the pond in Edgemont. This home is filled with positive energy, a fantastic layout, and is truly a place that brings them joy. Wishing you both all the best in your new chapter. Thank you again for your continued trust.

If you’ve recently driven along Rabbit Hill Road, you might have done a double take near South Terwillegar Pond III—because yes, those are pelicans!

These majestic birds, typically associated with coastal regions, have been making appearances right here in Edmonton. South Terwillegar, particularly the area near The Quay Condos, has become an unexpected but welcome resting spot for them.

Why Are Pelicans Here?

The American white pelican is a migratory species that spends summers across the Canadian Prairies. They’re usually spotted on larger bodies of water like lakes and rivers, but in recent years, they’ve also begun frequenting urban wetlands and stormwater ponds like those found in Terwillegar. These ponds offer calm water, food sources, and safety from predators—perfect for a quiet break during their seasonal travels.

When to See Them

The best time to catch a glimpse is on calm mornings or late afternoons, especially during late spring to early fall. They’re easy to spot with their large white bodies, long orange bills, and graceful gliding flight.

A Local Wildlife Surprise

Seeing pelicans this far inland—and in such an urban neighborhood—is a reminder of how interconnected our city is with surrounding ecosystems. Whether you're a birdwatcher or just someone out for a walk, the sight of these elegant birds floating peacefully on the pond is something special.

Next time you're near Rabbit Hill Road and South Terwillegar Boulevard, keep your eyes on the water. You might just catch Edmonton’s most surprising new visitors enjoying a quiet afternoon.
