New Listings: Inventory Stabilizes Heading Into Peak Season
There were 86 new listings in March 2026, a 4.44% decrease compared to March 2025. However, on a year-to-date basis, listings are actually up 3.85%, with 243 homes listed compared to 234 last year.
This balanced supply level is a key factor in maintaining market stability.
Inventory is:
This creates a healthy, balanced market environment, where both buyers and sellers have opportunities.
As we move further into spring, we can expect listing activity to increase — but so far, inventory remains well-controlled.
Average Asking Price: Sellers Maintain Confidence
The average asking price in March 2026 was $454,000, up 1.89% compared to March 2025.
Year-to-date, the average asking price has reached $468,000, representing a 3.75% increase over 2025.
This consistent upward movement suggests that sellers remain confident in Fort Saskatchewan’s housing market. Even with earlier slowdowns in sales volume, pricing has held steady and continues to trend upward.
However, the moderate pace of growth also indicates that the market is not overheating. Instead, it is experiencing sustainable appreciation, which is ideal for long-term stability.
Sales Activity: Spring Brings a Rebound in Transactions
In March 2026, 71 homes sold in Fort Saskatchewan, representing a 2.90% increase compared to March 2025. This marks the first month in 2026 where sales activity has surpassed last year’s levels — a strong signal that the spring market is gaining momentum.
Despite this monthly increase, year-to-date sales sit at 157 transactions, which is still 12.29% lower than the 179 sales recorded by this point in 2025.
This tells us two important things:
March often acts as a turning point in real estate cycles, and this year is following that pattern. Buyers who were waiting on the sidelines in January and February are now re-entering the market with greater urgency.
Average Sale Price: Strong Growth Signals Buyer Confidence
The average sale price in March 2026 climbed to $469,000, marking a 5.67% increase compared to March 2025.
This is one of the strongest indicators in this month’s report.
Even more importantly, year-to-date sale prices are up 3.53%, reaching $454,000 compared to $438,000 last year.
This tells us that:
When sale prices rise alongside increasing sales activity, it is typically a sign of a healthy and strengthening market.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Achieving Full Price (and More)
One of the most notable metrics this month is the ask-to-sell ratio of 1.003.
This means that, on average, homes sold for 100.3% of their asking price — slightly above list price.
Compared to March 2025, this represents a 0.32% increase.
This is a strong signal that:
While the year-to-date ratio sits slightly lower at 0.996, March’s data suggests that competition is beginning to increase as we enter peak season.
Days on Market: Homes Taking Slightly Longer to Sell
The average days on market increased to 54 days, up 12.50% compared to March 2025.
Year-to-date, homes are taking 67 days to sell, which is 19.64% longer than last year.
This may seem surprising given the increase in sales activity, but it reflects:
Homes are still selling — but buyers are being more selective, and the pace is less aggressive than previous years.
