Leduc Real Estate Market Update: January 2026

A new year always brings fresh energy to the real estate market, and January 2026 in Leduc is no exception. While winter conditions typically slow activity, this year’s data tells a more nuanced story. We’re seeing rising prices, a significant jump in new listings, and a sharp increase in days on market — all pointing toward a market that is shifting into a more balanced phase after strong appreciation throughout 2025.

Leduc New  MLS® Listings

🆕 New Listings Surge 45%

Perhaps the most dramatic shift in January was the rise in new inventory.

93 new listings hit the market, a massive 45.31% increase compared to January 2025.

This influx of inventory is significant for several reasons:

• Buyers now have more choice and leverage.
• Sellers face increased competition.
• The market may be transitioning from strong seller conditions toward balance.

If this listing momentum continues into spring, we could see a more competitive environment for sellers than we experienced in early 2025.

Average List Price

📌 Average Asking Price Reaches $500K

The average list price hit $500,000, up 2.77% from last year.

This steady increase reflects seller confidence and the overall appreciation trend seen throughout 2025. However, the more moderate growth compared to the sold price increase suggests sellers are being realistic with pricing — a healthy sign for market stability.

Leduc Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity: A Predictable Seasonal Slowdown

Leduc recorded 40 sales in January 2026, down 6.98% compared to January 2025. This dip is consistent with typical winter market behaviour. January is historically slower as families settle back into routines following the holidays.

However, the slight decrease in sales volume does not indicate weakening demand — rather, it reflects seasonal timing. Serious buyers are still active, but decision-making tends to take longer during winter months.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price Jumps Over 10%

One of the most notable highlights this month is the strong price growth.

The average sale price climbed to $453,000, marking a 10.07% increase year-over-year. This is a powerful indicator that property values in Leduc remain on an upward trajectory.

Despite fewer sales, buyers are clearly willing to pay more for quality homes. This suggests continued confidence in Leduc as a desirable long-term investment location.

For sellers, this is excellent news — equity positions remain strong heading into 2026.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Softens Slightly

The average ask-to-sell ratio sits at 0.978, meaning homes sold for approximately 97.8% of asking price.

This slight decline indicates that buyers are negotiating more actively than they were earlier in 2025. With more listings available and longer selling times, buyers are gaining modest leverage.

However, homes that are priced correctly and show well are still achieving strong results.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Spike

Homes in Leduc took an average of 92 days to sell, a substantial 73.58% increase from last year.

This jump reflects:

• Winter slowdown
• Increased listing inventory
• Buyers taking more time to evaluate options

While 92 days may appear high, it’s important to recognize January is traditionally the slowest month of the year. As we move into February and March, this figure typically declines.

For sellers, this reinforces the importance of pricing strategically and presenting homes properly from day one.

📊 Leduc Real Estate Market Comparison

January 2025 vs January 2026

📌 Key Takeaways

• Prices are up significantly, especially sold prices (+10%).
• Inventory jumped sharply (+45%), giving buyers more options.
• Days on market increased substantially, signalling a slower winter pace.
• Sales dipped slightly, but not dramatically.
• Negotiation is becoming more common with a softer ask-to-sell ratio.

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

If you are buying in Leduc right now:

1. More inventory = more choice.
2. Longer days on market = negotiation opportunities.
3. Prices are rising — but not explosively.
4. Winter purchases can mean less competition.

January may be one of the best opportunities in early 2026 to secure a strong deal before the spring market accelerates.

💼 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the market remains healthy — but strategy matters more than ever.

• Price accurately from day one.
• Expect slightly longer marketing time.
• Invest in professional presentation.
• Be prepared for negotiation.

The 10% increase in sale prices is encouraging, but the rise in inventory means buyers have alternatives.

🏘️ Leduc’s Continued Appeal

Despite winter slowdowns, Leduc remains one of the most attractive communities in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region thanks to:

• Proximity to Edmonton and the International Airport
• Affordable detached home pricing compared to surrounding cities
• Growing neighbourhoods like Black Stone, Meadowview, Woodbend, and Southfork
• Strong long-term appreciation trends

As spring approaches, buyer traffic is expected to increase — especially in family-focused communities.

🔮 What to Expect This Spring

Based on January’s numbers:

• Inventory is building early.
• Prices remain strong.
• Buyer leverage is increasing slightly.
• Spring could bring a competitive but more balanced market.

If listings continue rising into March and April, we may see conditions that are more balanced than the seller-dominant environment of early 2025.
