The Red Deer real estate market remains firmly in a seller’s market, driven by low inventory, high buyer demand, and continued price appreciation across nearly all property types.

🏡 Inventory & Absorption Rate

• Months of Inventory (MOI): 1.2 months

• A seller’s market is defined as anything below 4 months of inventory, so current levels signal a highly competitive market with fast turnover.
