New Listings Decline – Inventory Tightens

One of the most significant shifts in July 2025 has been the drop in new listings. Only 63 new properties hit the market, representing a 21.25% decrease compared to July 2024.

YTD, the total number of new listings is 534, which is 6.64% lower than in 2024. This tightening of inventory puts additional pressure on buyers, as competition for well-priced and well-located properties intensifies.

For sellers, this reduced competition creates a favourable environment for attracting multiple offers.

Average List Price

The average asking price in July 2025 was $416,000, a 6.53% increase from July 2024. Sellers remain confident in pricing their homes higher, supported by continued buyer demand and limited inventory.

YTD, the average asking price is $394,000, which is 7.94% higher than in 2024. This consistent upward movement reflects the long-term strengthening of property values in rural Lac Ste. Anne.

Lac Ste Anne Home Sales

July 2025 was a standout month for sales in rural Lac Ste. Anne County, with 54 properties sold, marking a 50% increase compared to July 2024. This surge demonstrates that interest in rural properties remains strong well into the summer months.

On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, sales continue to outperform last year’s pace. A total of 268 properties have sold so far in 2025, up 33.33% from the 201 sold during the same period in 2024.

This sustained growth is a clear indicator that rural living is not just a temporary trend—it’s a lasting lifestyle choice for many Albertans.

Average Sale Price

The average sale price for July was $381,000, up 20.08% year-over-year. On a YTD basis, the average sale price has reached $397,000, which is 12.78% higher than the same period last year.

The strong sale price growth is evidence of the market’s resilience, with buyers prepared to pay more for rural homes and acreages that meet their needs.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Buyers Paying Close to Asking Price

The average ask-to-sell ratio in July 2025 was 95.7%, which is nearly identical to last year, showing a 0.06% increase. This means that, on average, homes are selling for just slightly below their asking price.

YTD, the ratio stands at 95.6%, a slight 0.96% decrease from last year’s 96.5%. This shows that negotiation is still part of the process, but sellers are generally achieving prices close to their expectations.

Average Days on Market

While demand is strong, the average days on market in July 2025 rose to 124 days, an increase of 93.75% from July 2024.

YTD, the average days on market sits at 108 days, up 24.14% compared to 2024.

This longer selling period could indicate that while demand is high, buyers are taking more time to find the right property, or that some sellers are testing higher price points before adjusting to market conditions.
