Stony Plain Real Estate - New MLS® Listings 

🔹 New Listings Hold Steady

April saw 49 new listings, down just 2% from last year.

Year-to-date:

• 195 listings in 2026
• 196 listings in 2025

This tells us:
👉 Inventory is essentially unchanged year-over-year

But combined with slower sales earlier in the year, this creates:
👉 More choice for buyers
👉 More competition for sellers

Average Asking Price of Homes in Stony Plain

🔹 Asking Prices Continue to Climb

The average asking price rose to $475,000, up 11.84% year-over-year.

Year-to-date, asking prices sit at $447,000, a 5.86% increase.

This gap between asking price growth and sale price movement suggests:

• Sellers are still confident
• Buyers are pushing back more on pricing

👉 This is classic market balancing behaviour

Stony Plain Home Sales

🔹 Sales Activity Holds Steady

A total of 47 homes sold in April 2026, exactly matching April 2025 levels.

This stability is a strong sign, especially considering that year-to-date sales are still down 15%, with 136 homes sold compared to 160 last year.

The takeaway?
👉 Buyer demand is still present — just more measured and selective than in early 2025.

 

Stony Plain Real Estate Market- Average Home Sale Price

🔹 Average Sale Price Sees Monthly Pullback

The average sale price in April dropped to $380,000, an 8.13% decrease from April 2025.

However, this needs important context:

• Year-to-date average price is $416,000
• That’s +7.14% higher than 2025

This tells us:
👉 April’s dip is likely due to property mix (more entry-level or mid-range sales)
👉 Overall home values are still trending upward

🔹 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Softens Slightly

The ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 98.5%, down 1.61% year-over-year.

Year-to-date: 98.4% vs 99.5%

What this means:
👉 Buyers are negotiating more
👉 Sellers aren’t consistently getting full asking price

Still — 98% is strong and indicates a healthy, functioning market

Stony Plain Average Days on Market

🔹 Days on Market More Than Doubles

This is the most important shift in April.

Homes are now taking:

• 72 days to sell (vs 34 last year)
• That’s a 111.76% increase

Year-to-date:

• 69 days vs 46 days (+50%)

This signals:
👉 Buyers are taking more time
👉 Pricing and presentation matter more than ever
👉 The urgency of previous markets has eased

🏡 Market Overview: A Shift Toward Balance

April 2026 shows a market in transition. Sales volume held steady year-over-year, but other indicators — particularly days on market and sale prices — suggest that conditions are shifting toward a more balanced environment.

This doesn’t indicate weakness. Instead, it signals a healthier, more sustainable market, where buyers have more time to make decisions and sellers must be more strategic.

🏘️ What This Means for Buyers

April presents one of the best buying windows we’ve seen in months:

✅ More time to make decisions

Homes are sitting longer — less pressure to rush

✅ More negotiation power

Prices aren’t dropping overall, but buyers have leverage

✅ More inventory stability

Listings are consistent, giving buyers options

⚠️ But don’t wait too long

Spring demand is building — competition will increase

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the market is still strong — but strategy matters more than ever:

✅ Prices are still up year-over-year

Long-term appreciation is intact

⚠️ Buyers are more selective

Homes must be well-presented and priced correctly

⚠️ Longer timelines

Expect more time on market vs last year

✅ Opportunity still strong

Low inventory + steady demand = success with the right approach

🏗️ New Construction Market Trends – April 2026

New construction activity in Stony Plain picked up in April, with 12 homes sold and a total sales volume of $5,775,671, showing strong builder performance as the spring market begins to gain momentum.

The average list price was $482,815, with homes selling for an average of $481,305, indicating that builders are continuing to achieve near full asking price — a strong sign of demand for new homes in the area.

Prices ranged from $393,500 to $593,000, with a median sale price of $473,505, reflecting a broader mix of entry-level and mid-range new construction compared to previous months that leaned more heavily toward higher-end product.

Homes spent an average of 56 days on market, with a wide range from 26 to 161 days, suggesting that while well-priced homes are moving relatively quickly, some inventory is taking longer to absorb as buyer choice increases.

Overall, April shows that new construction remains a key contributor to the Stony Plain real estate market, with steady demand, strong pricing, and increasing inventory helping to shape a more balanced and competitive spring market.

🏗️ Active & Pending New Construction Inventory – April 2026

Looking at the current pipeline, new construction inventory in Stony Plain remains strong, with 35 active and pending homes on the market. These properties are listed at an average price of $586,971, with a median of $525,000, showing a healthy mix of mid-range and higher-end product available to buyers.

Prices currently range from $394,587 up to $1,640,000, highlighting the expanding diversity of new construction options — from more attainable entry-level builds to premium custom homes. The total inventory represents over $20.5 million in available new construction supply, which is a significant indicator of builder confidence in the Stony Plain market.

Homes are sitting at an average of 53 days on market, with some newer listings moving as quickly as 4 days, while others extend up to 139 days. This wide range reinforces that pricing, product type, and location are key factors in absorption, especially as buyers gain more options heading into the peak spring season.

Overall, this level of active inventory suggests that buyers will continue to see increased choice in the coming months, while builders will need to remain competitive on pricing and incentives to maintain momentum.

📊 New Construction Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

New construction continues to be a standout segment of the Stony Plain real estate market in 2026, with both sales volume and pricing significantly outperforming last year.

So far in 2026, 33 new construction homes have sold, compared to 20 during the same period in 2025 — a 65% increase in sales activity. This surge highlights growing demand for newly built homes, particularly among buyers seeking modern layouts, energy efficiency, and turnkey options.

Pricing has also seen a substantial increase. The average sale price in 2026 sits at $538,850, up from $464,383 in 2025, representing a 16.04% increase year-over-year. The median sale price has climbed to $499,000, compared to $439,999 last year, further reinforcing upward pressure on new construction values.

In terms of overall market impact, total sales volume has nearly doubled:

• $17,782,051 in 2026
• $9,287,667 in 2025

This represents a 91.5% increase in total dollar volume, showing not only more sales, but significantly higher-value transactions.

Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, with an average of 71 days on market in 2026, compared to 54 days in 2025. This reflects a more balanced market environment where buyers have more options and are taking additional time to make decisions.

Price ranges have also expanded, with 2026 sales spanning from $390,000 to $846,944, compared to a narrower range of $394,000 to $615,000 in 2025. This indicates growing diversity in product — from entry-level builds to higher-end custom homes.

👉 Bottom line:
New construction in Stony Plain is experiencing strong growth in both demand and pricing, making it one of the most important drivers of the local market in 2026. While homes are taking slightly longer to sell, the increase in inventory and price points is creating more opportunity for buyers while maintaining excellent conditions for builders and sellers
