Parkland County Acreage Listings

🏡 New Listings: Inventory Remains Tight

Parkland County saw 103 new acreage listings in July 2025, a 3.74% decrease from last year. Year-to-date, 712 properties have come to market, just a 1.86% increase over 2024.

📉 Why This Matters:

• Fewer listings create more competition for available properties.
• Desirable acreages (updated, well-maintained, good location) will attract faster offers and potentially multiple bids.

If you're a seller, this is your cue—buyers are out there, but they don’t have endless choices. A well-staged, appropriately priced property can shine in this environment.

Average List Price

In July 2025, the average asking price for acreage properties in Parkland County was $666,000, marking a 16.01% decrease compared to July 2024. This drop is notable, especially following months of climbing or stable asking prices earlier in the year. It may indicate that sellers are adjusting expectations in response to shifting market dynamics—possibly recognizing buyer sensitivity to overpricing or increased competition from other listings. Despite the decline in asking prices this month, the year-to-date average remains strong at $783,000, still showing a 10.48% increase compared to the same period last year. This suggests that while July may have seen a short-term correction, the overall trend for 2025 continues to reflect solid seller confidence and long-term property value growth.

Parkland County Acreage Sales

🔼 Acreage Sales on the Rise

The number of acreages sold in July rose 10% year-over-year, with 77 properties changing hands, compared to 70 in July 2024. Year-to-date, a total of 407 rural properties have sold, showing a 5.71% increase from the same time last year.

This consistent increase confirms buyer confidence remains strong in Parkland County’s rural market—even as interest rates fluctuate and inventory tightens.

🔑 What This Means:

• Sellers can list with confidence knowing there’s a steady pool of active buyers.
• Buyers should be prepared to move quickly, especially for well-priced or upgraded acreages.

Parkland County Average Sale Price

Average Sale Price: $638K → Up 10.05%

This gap between list and sale prices suggests a couple of key market trends:

• Sellers are adjusting asking prices downward to meet shifting buyer expectations.
• Buyers, in turn, are still willing to pay competitive prices—especially for properties offering good value or desirable features (e.g. updated homes, proximity to highways, shops, or schools).

The ask-to-sell ratio of 0.987 further reinforces this trend, showing that properties are selling for about 98.7% of their list price—a strong indicator of market health.
