The Fort Saskatchewan real estate market in November 2025 reflects a period of adjustment rather than decline. While some headline numbers show notable month-over-month changes, the broader year-to-date data confirms that Fort Saskatchewan continues to operate within a balanced and resilient market framework.
November typically marks one of the slowest months of the year for real estate activity, and this year was no exception. Seasonal factors, weather conditions, and year-end planning all play a role in shaping buyer and seller behaviour. However, when viewed in context — particularly against November 2024 — the market tells a story of measured correction, stable demand, and strong long-term fundamentals.
For buyers, this creates opportunity through softer pricing and reduced competition. For sellers, success hinges on strategic pricing, presentation, and realistic expectations. Let’s break down exactly what the November 2025 numbers reveal and what they mean for Fort Saskatchewan moving into the end of the year.

New Listings: Sharp Monthly Decline Tightens Inventory
One of the most striking changes in November was the sharp decline in new listings. Only 41 new properties came to market, a 40.58% decrease compared to November 2024. This significant drop is largely driven by seasonal behaviour, as many homeowners choose to delay listing until the new year.
Year-to-date, Fort Saskatchewan has seen 872 new listings, down 3.43% from 903 listings in 2024. While inventory has eased slightly, it remains sufficient to support balanced market conditions rather than tipping into a seller-dominated environment.
For buyers, fewer new listings mean less choice in the short term, particularly in popular price ranges. For sellers, reduced competition can work in their favour — especially if their property is well-priced and professionally marketed.
Average Asking Price: Sellers Reset Expectations
The average asking price in November 2025 was $442,000, marking a 9.99% decline compared to November 2024. On a year-to-date basis, the average asking price sits at $459,000, down 3.46% from last year.
This adjustment reflects a clear recalibration of seller expectations. As affordability pressures and interest-rate sensitivity shaped buyer behaviour throughout 2025, sellers increasingly responded by pricing more competitively. This shift has played a crucial role in keeping transactions moving, even during slower seasonal months.
Importantly, lower asking prices do not necessarily mean reduced value. Instead, they signal a market where accurate pricing is essential — and where overpriced listings are far more likely to stagnate.
Sold Properties: Seasonal Uptick Despite a Softer Annual Total
In November 2025, Fort Saskatchewan recorded 43 sold properties, representing a 16.22% increase compared to November 2024. This year-over-year monthly gain is a positive signal, especially given that November is historically a slower month for sales activity.
However, when viewed on a year-to-date basis, total sales reached 673 transactions, which is 8.81% lower than the 738 sales recorded by this point in 2024. This decrease reflects the broader market normalization seen throughout 2025 following several years of elevated demand and rapidly rising prices.
Rather than indicating weakness, this shift suggests a market that has transitioned from overheated conditions into a more sustainable pace. Buyers are still active, but they are more selective and price-conscious. Sellers who adapt to these conditions continue to achieve successful outcomes.
Average Sale Price: Long-Term Value Remains Intact
Despite the decline in asking prices, the average sale price in November 2025 increased to $426,000, representing a 1.10% increase compared to November 2024. This contrast highlights an important trend: homes that are priced appropriately are still selling well.
On a year-to-date basis, the average sale price across Fort Saskatchewan reached $461,000, up 4.27% from $442,000 in 2024. This continued appreciation underscores the city’s strong long-term fundamentals and ongoing appeal to buyers seeking affordability without sacrificing quality of life.
The data suggests that while sellers are listing more conservatively, buyers remain willing to pay fair market value — particularly for well-maintained homes in desirable neighbourhoods.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Strong Pricing Integrity Holds
The average ask-to-sell ratio in November 2025 was 0.988, indicating that homes sold for 98.8% of their asking price. While this is a slight 0.30% decrease compared to November 2024, it still reflects a very healthy level of pricing integrity.
Year-to-date, the ratio stands at 0.998, up 0.55% from 2024. This means that across the year, sellers have consistently achieved near-full asking price — a hallmark of a balanced and confident market.
Negotiation is present, but it remains reasonable and data-driven rather than aggressive or one-sided.
Days on Market: Seasonal Slowdown, Faster Annual Performance
Homes took longer to sell in November, with the average days on market increasing to 56 days, a 51.35% increase compared to November 2024. This is typical for late fall, when buyer activity naturally slows due to weather, holidays, and year-end planning.
However, the year-to-date picture tells a much more encouraging story. Properties in Fort Saskatchewan have averaged 46 days on market in 2025, down 19.30% from 57 days in 2024. This means that overall, homes are selling significantly faster than last year.
For sellers, this reinforces the importance of timing and presentation. Listings that come to market during slower months must stand out through competitive pricing and strong marketing strategies.

With limited new listings entering the market, well-positioned homes can still attract serious buyers even in quieter months.
Market Forecast: A Balanced Close to 2025
Looking ahead to December and early 2026, Fort Saskatchewan is expected to maintain its balanced conditions. Inventory is likely to remain constrained through winter, while buyer demand continues at a measured pace.
