The Spruce Grove real estate market continued to show signs of a more balanced market as we moved through February 2026. While sales activity remained lower than the same time last year, pricing held relatively steady and inventory levels stayed consistent. These trends suggest that buyers and sellers alike are adjusting to current market conditions as we approach the busy spring real estate season.

The below graphs are interactive
📦 New Listings: Inventory Holding Steady
February saw 123 new listings enter the Spruce Grove market, only a 1.60% decrease compared to February 2025
Year-to-date, 239 homes have been listed, slightly lower than the 244 listings recorded during the same time last year.
This relatively stable inventory level means buyers continue to have a reasonable selection of homes to choose from. Unlike the extremely tight inventory conditions seen in previous years, today’s market allows buyers to evaluate options more carefully before making an offer.
For sellers, this means that pricing and presentation remain key factors in attracting buyers and reducing time on market.
💰 Average Asking Price: Slight Increase Month-to-Month
The average asking price in February 2026 was $494,000, representing a 2.54% increase from February 2025
However, when we look at the year-to-date numbers, the average asking price sits at $507,000, which is 1.92% lower than the same period in 2025.
This indicates that while individual listings may be priced higher month-to-month, overall seller expectations have moderated slightly compared to last year.
Pricing accurately from the beginning continues to be one of the most important strategies for sellers in today’s market.
🏠 Sales Activity: Slight Slowdown Compared to Last Year
In February 2026, 69 homes sold, representing a 12.66% decrease compared to February 2025
Looking at the year-to-date figures, 124 homes have sold so far in 2026, compared to 146 during the same period last year — a 15.07% decline.
This reduction in sales volume reflects a market where buyers are taking more time to make decisions. Factors such as interest rates, affordability, and increased inventory are all contributing to slightly slower transaction activity compared to early 2025.
However, lower sales volume does not necessarily mean a weak market. Instead, it suggests a shift toward a more balanced environment, where buyers have more options and sellers need to price homes competitively.
📈 Average Sale Price: Holding Strong Despite Market Shift
The average sale price for February 2026 was $477,000, which is 3.05% lower than February 2025
However, the year-to-date average sale price of $484,000 is actually 1.38% higher than last year.
This is an important takeaway.
Although monthly fluctuations occur, the overall trend shows that home values in Spruce Grove remain resilient. Well-priced homes that are properly marketed continue to attract buyers and achieve solid sale prices.
⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Returning to the Market
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 0.991, meaning homes sold for about 99.1% of their list price on average
.
This is a 1.20% decline compared to February 2025, indicating slightly more room for negotiation between buyers and sellers.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.987 compared to 1.001 last year, further supporting the trend toward a more balanced market where buyers may have more leverage during negotiations.
⏳ Days on Market: Homes Taking Longer to Sell
Homes in Spruce Grove took 82 days on average to sell in February, representing a 10.81% increase compared to February 2025
Looking at year-to-date data, the average days on market has increased significantly compared to last year, rising from 68 days to 82 days — a 20.59% increase.
This longer selling timeline reflects a market where buyers are more cautious and deliberate.
For sellers, this reinforces the importance of:
