🔍 Market Analysis & Trends

Sales Growth Despite Fewer Listings

The combination of increased sales and reduced new listings creates a tighter market, which typically favours sellers and helps maintain pricing strength.

Price Growth Outpaces Inflation

With a 5.73% increase in average sale price year-over-year, St. Albert’s housing market is appreciating faster than general inflation, making it an appealing environment for both investors and homeowners building equity.

A Slight Cooling in Pace

While YTD days-on-market show homes selling significantly faster than last year, July’s monthly data suggests a slight cooling in speed. This could be seasonal or related to buyer caution as prices rise.
