The short answer

Windermere and Terwillegar Towne sit side by side in Edmonton's southwest and sold at almost the same median price this fall — $590,000 in Windermere vs $580,000 in Terwillegar Towne — but they're different purchases. Windermere is the newer, executive southwest: bigger, newer homes, higher average prices, and a slower, more deliberate market (43 median days on market). Terwillegar Towne is the established neighbour: mature trees, a finished community feel, and homes that moved twice as fast this fall (21 median days). If you want new and large, it's Windermere. If you want established character and a market that rewards decisive buyers, it's Terwillegar Towne.

How to read them

• The medians are nearly tied; the averages are not. Windermere's average sold price runs more than $100,000 higher than Terwillegar Towne's, which tells you Windermere's upper end — larger executive homes on bigger lots — pulls its market up. At the typical purchase, the two neighbourhoods cost about the same; at the top end, Windermere is a different price class.

• Pace is the real difference. Terwillegar Towne homes sold in a median of 21 days against Windermere's 43. Established, finished neighbourhoods with mature landscaping tend to draw committed buyers who know what they want; Windermere's higher price points and newer stock take longer to match with the right buyer. As a Windermere buyer, you generally have more room to view, think, and negotiate. As a Terwillegar Towne buyer, the good listings don't wait.

• Volume favours Windermere shoppers. With 53 sales in 90 days against 21, Windermere simply turns over more choice — more listings to compare, more sold comparables to price against.

The character difference

Windermere is Edmonton's newer executive southwest — a master-planned growth area of large detached homes, estate-style streets, and newer construction, built out over the last two decades and still growing at its edges. It's the default landing zone for executives, professionals relocating to Edmonton, and move-up buyers who want a newer home without an infill price tag. Amenities, shopping, and schools have grown up with it; the trade-off is a younger landscape — the trees are still catching up to the houses.

Terwillegar Towne is what Windermere will look like in twenty years: finished. An established southwest community with mature trees, completed streetscapes, and the settled feel of a neighbourhood where the construction phase is a memory. The housing stock is a generation older — which means more variety in condition and renovation, and lots that were landscaped decades ago. Buyers who prioritize "done and established" over "new" consistently land here.

Who each suits

Choose Windermere if:

• You want a newer or new-build home with modern layouts and builder finishes

• You're shopping the upper end — executive homes, larger lots, top-tier southwest addresses

• You're relocating and want the area other relocators consistently shortlist first

• You prefer more listings to choose from and a pace that lets you negotiate

Choose Terwillegar Towne if:

• Mature trees, finished streets, and an established community feel matter more than new construction

• You want a similar median price with a quicker, more decisive market — and you're ready to move fast when the right home lists

• You'd rather buy into completed amenities and settled schools than a still-growing area

• You value lot maturity and neighbourhood character over house age

Common questions

Q: Is Windermere more expensive than Terwillegar Towne?

A: At the median, barely — $590,000 vs $580,000 over July 31 – October 28, 2026 (REALTORS® Association of Edmonton MLS® sold data via Paragon). The difference shows at the top end: Windermere's average sold price was $754,169 against Terwillegar Towne's $647,583, because Windermere's executive segment sells at prices Terwillegar Towne's stock doesn't reach.

Q: Which neighbourhood sells faster?

A: Terwillegar Towne, decisively, in the most recent 90 days: a median of 21 days on market against Windermere's 43. Established neighbourhoods with finished amenities tend to attract buyers who have already decided on the area; Windermere's higher price points take longer to clear.

Q: I'm relocating to Edmonton. Which one should I look at first?

A: Start with your non-negotiables. If a newer home and a larger lot top the list, tour Windermere first — it has the deeper inventory (53 sales in 90 days). If you want an established feel and mature landscaping, Terwillegar Towne will feel right faster — but budget your trip tightly, because its listings move in about three weeks.

Q: Are these good neighbourhoods for resale?

A: Both sit in Edmonton's most consistently demanded quadrant, the southwest. Terwillegar Towne's 21-day median selling time this fall is direct evidence of buyer depth; Windermere's combination of volume (53 sales) and high average prices shows a deep executive market. Mainstream homes in either area are among the easier Edmonton properties to resell.

Q: How do I see what's actually sold in each area recently?

A: Ask for the sold records, not the asking prices — any agent can pull them, and Travis publishes sold-data guides for both neighbourhoods on this site. Pricing and offering decisions should be built on the last 90 days of solds on comparable streets.

Q: Can one agent show me both areas and run my mortgage too?

A: Yes. Travis Bannert is a Realtor® with Bridge Realty Group, Maxwell Progressive Realty and a licensed Mortgage Broker with BFL Dominion Lending Centres — the neighbourhood comparison, the offer strategy, and the financing are planned in one conversation. Call 780-720-8240.
