St. Albert New Listing Count

📉 New Listings Drop Slightly

October saw 134 new listings, a 9.46% decrease compared to last year. This modest decline in new supply is typical for fall as fewer homeowners list before the holiday season. For buyers, this means less selection—but for sellers, it can mean less competition and stronger offers from motivated buyers.

Average List Price

🏷️ Asking Prices Jump 18.41%

The average asking price hit $596,000, an impressive 18.41% increase year-over-year. Sellers are listing higher due to confidence in market performance and rising property values. While not every listing will sell at asking, the ask-to-sell ratio of 0.99 shows that pricing remains close to market reality.

St. Albert Home Sales

🏡 Sales Increase by 6.72%

St. Albert saw 127 homes sold in October 2025, compared to 119 in the same month last year. This increase suggests continued buyer engagement despite the typical seasonal cooling. Fall has historically been a period of reduced activity, but 2025 is defying that trend as serious buyers remain active in the market.

Average Sale Price of Homes

💵 Average Sale Price Up 4.62%

The average sale price reached $495,000, representing nearly a 5% increase over October 2024. Year-to-date, prices are up 5.75%. This steady appreciation underscores the strength and stability of St. Albert’s market—particularly when many other Canadian regions are facing stagnation or price corrections.

Days on MLS®

⏱️ Days on Market Rise to 50

Homes spent an average of 50 days on the market, up 16.28% from October 2024. This slight slowdown aligns with seasonal patterns but still represents a healthy turnover rate. The year-to-date figure remains strong at just 39 days, meaning most homes continue to sell within a reasonable timeframe.

📈 Year-to-Date Market Summary (January–October 2025)

🌇 What’s Driving the Market Right Now?

1. Local Demand and Lifestyle Appeal

St. Albert’s reputation for excellent schools, parks, and community amenities keeps it at the top of buyer wish lists. Families relocating within the Edmonton Metropolitan Region continue to prioritize the city for its safety, beauty, and community feel.

2. Strong Price Stability

Even as the broader Canadian housing market fluctuates, St. Albert’s home values remain consistently upward. The combination of strong local employment and limited land supply contributes to this stability.

3. Expanding Inventory Over 2025

Despite the October dip, overall listing inventory has grown 6.46% year-to-date. This growth balances out price pressures and provides more options for buyers looking for specific home features.

4. Sustained Buyer Confidence

Interest rates have levelled off, giving buyers more predictability in budgeting and financing. Confidence in Alberta’s growing economy continues to support migration and homeownership demand in St. Albert.

🧭 For Buyers: Opportunities This Fall

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, the current market offers a window of opportunity:

• More negotiating room: With days on market slightly higher, some sellers may be more open to negotiation.
• Steady prices: While prices remain strong, they’re not skyrocketing—making it easier for buyers to secure homes at fair value.
• Long-term equity growth: Year-to-date appreciation of 5.75% demonstrates the market’s potential for continued long-term gain.

💡 Tip: Focus on homes that have been on the market for 40+ days. These properties often offer better negotiation flexibility without sacrificing quality.

🏠 For Sellers: Why It’s Still a Great Time to List

Even with seasonal changes, sellers continue to enjoy favourable conditions:

• Low competition: With fewer new listings in October, your home will stand out more in the marketplace.
• Motivated buyers: Those shopping in fall and winter are often pre-approved and ready to purchase quickly.
• Strong selling prices: The ask-to-sell ratio near 1.00 shows that homes are still selling close to asking value.

🏘️ Neighbourhood Spotlight: Jensen Lakes & Erin Ridge

Two of St. Albert’s most active neighbourhoods this year have been Jensen Lakes and Erin Ridge.

• Jensen Lakes continues to draw buyers with its resort-style living, private beach access, and proximity to top-rated schools. Demand for detached homes and townhomes remains high, with listings in the $600K–$800K range seeing the most traction.
• Erin Ridge and Erin Ridge North remain favourites among families for their modern homes, parks, and quick access to shopping centres. New builds and quick-possession properties in this area continue to perform well.
