Stony Plain Real Estate - New MLS® Listings 

🔹 New Listings Down, Tightening Supply

There were 35 new listings in October 2025—down 12.5% from October 2024. Year-to-date, 516 new listings have hit the market, representing a 2.82% decline compared to last year.

This drop in new inventory has two implications:

1. For sellers: It reduces competition, increasing the chances of standing out in the marketplace.
2. For buyers: It limits choice, making it harder to find the perfect property, especially within specific price ranges.

The decline in listings heading into winter could lead to tighter market conditions in early 2026 if demand holds steady.

Average Asking Price of Homes in Stony Plain

🔹 Asking Prices Surge Year-Over-Year

The average asking price in October 2025 reached $449,000, representing a 26.29% increase compared to October 2024. Sellers are clearly more confident in the market, reflecting both rising home values and buyer willingness to pay more for quality homes.

Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $435,000, up 7.82% from 2024. These numbers confirm that property owners in Stony Plain are seeing continued appreciation, especially in detached homes and newer builds.

Stony Plain Home Sales

🔹 Home Sales Ease in October

In October, Stony Plain recorded 40 home sales, marking a 23.08% decline from the same period last year. Year-to-date, 404 homes have sold, down 9.21% compared to 445 at this time in 2024. This slowdown isn’t surprising—fall typically brings fewer transactions as families settle into the school year and the weather begins to cool. However, even with fewer sales, Stony Plain continues to maintain strong pricing growth, which is a positive indicator of sustained demand.

Stony Plain Real Estate Market- Average Home Sale Price

🔹 Average Sale Price Reflects Steady Growth

The average sale price for October was $391,000, a 13.44% increase compared to last year. On a year-to-date basis, homes in Stony Plain have averaged $406,000, which is 7.09% higher than in 2024. This consistent upward trend reinforces Stony Plain’s reputation as a strong-performing suburban market. Even with lower transaction volumes, prices are being supported by steady demand from both local buyers and people relocating from larger urban centres like Edmonton.

🔹 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Strong

The average ask-to-sell ratio in October was 98.3%, a slight improvement from 2024. Year-to-date, the ratio stands at 99.1%, up 0.18% from last year. This shows that homes are still selling close to their asking prices—proof that accurately priced homes continue to attract serious buyers.

Stony Plain Average Days on Market

🔹 Days on Market Increase – Homes Taking Longer to Sell

A notable shift this month is the rise in average days on market, which climbed to 61 days, up 48.78% from 41 days a year ago. This means that on average, it’s taking about three weeks longer to sell a home compared to last October

However, the YTD average days on market fell from 51 days in 2024 to 46 days in 2025, a 9.8% improvement. The increase this month likely reflects seasonal patterns rather than a fundamental slowdown in buyer interest.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

1. Home Prices Are Rising – Take Advantage
   With prices up nearly 13% and fewer listings available, sellers who list now can benefit from reduced competition and continued buyer demand.
2. Be Prepared for Longer Days on Market
   Homes are taking longer to sell, so patience and realistic pricing will be key to success through the winter months.
3. Presentation and Marketing Matter
   As the market becomes more balanced, professional photography, staging, and digital marketing are more important than ever to ensure your listing stands out.
4. YTD Strength Reinforces Long-Term Value
   Even with slight slowdowns, YTD appreciation of over 7% confirms that Stony Plain remains a high-value area for property investment.

🏘️ What This Means for Buyers

1. Opportunities in a Balanced Market
   With slightly longer days on market, buyers now have a bit more breathing room to negotiate and make informed decisions.
2. Inventory is Tight, but Not Frozen
   While listings are down, there are still opportunities—especially for buyers who are flexible with their search criteria.
3. Price Growth Indicates Stability
   The continued increase in sale prices demonstrates strong underlying market fundamentals, making Stony Plain a solid long-term investment.
4. Work with a Local Expert
   Navigating this evolving market requires up-to-date local insight. Partnering with a REALTOR® who understands Stony Plain’s micro-trends can help you find value before prices climb further.

🌟 Why Stony Plain Remains a Desirable Market

Stony Plain continues to be one of the most sought-after suburban communities west of Edmonton, offering:

• A family-friendly environment with quality schools and parks.
• Proximity to Spruce Grove and Edmonton for commuting.
• Steady home appreciation rates that outperform many surrounding towns.
• A growing mix of residential, retail, and recreational development.

For those seeking affordability and lifestyle balance, Stony Plain offers a rare combination of small-town charm and access to urban convenience.

🔮 Looking Ahead: Market Forecast for Late 2025

As the year draws to a close, we can expect:

• Lower overall sales volume heading into winter, consistent with seasonal norms.
• Stable to slightly rising prices, as limited inventory continues to support values.
• Renewed activity in early 2026, as pent-up demand resurfaces after the holidays.

While the pace of growth may slow temporarily, Stony Plain’s fundamentals remain strong—low inventory, high demand, and competitive pricing keep it positioned as one of Alberta’s more resilient real estate markets.
