St. Albert New Listing Count

📦 New Listings and Inventory

Inventory remains one of the most important drivers of the current market.

In June 2026, 206 new listings came onto the market, representing an 8.85% decrease compared to June 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 Listings: 1,078
• 2025 Listings: 1,114
• Change: -3.23%

This decline in new inventory helps explain why prices continue to rise despite slightly lower sales volumes.

Fewer listings mean:

• Less competition among sellers
• Continued demand pressure
• Stronger support for home values

If inventory remains constrained through the summer, prices could continue trending upward into the fall market.

Average List Price

🏷️ Average Asking Price

The average asking price in June was $601,000, essentially unchanged from the previous year with a slight 0.22% increase.

The stability in asking prices suggests that sellers are pricing homes realistically based on current market conditions.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 Average Asking Price: $575,000
• 2025 Average Asking Price: $566,000
• Increase: 1.60%

This modest increase shows that while sellers remain confident, the market is becoming increasingly balanced.

St. Albert Home Sales

🏡 Home Sales Activity

A total of 156 homes sold in June 2026, representing a 3.70% decrease compared to June 2025.

While sales were slightly lower than last year, this isn't unusual as the market begins to shift from the spring rush into a more balanced summer environment.

Year-to-date, 747 homes have sold in St. Albert, compared to 783 during the same period in 2025, representing a 4.60% decrease.

Despite the modest decline in sales volume, buyer demand remains healthy. Many purchasers are simply taking longer to evaluate options due to increased inventory and higher price points compared to previous years.

Average Sale Price of Homes

💰 Average Sale Price Continues to Climb

One of the strongest indicators in June was continued price growth.

The average sale price reached $555,000, representing a 2.52% increase compared to June 2025.

This increase demonstrates that demand remains strong despite fewer overall transactions.

Looking at the bigger picture:

• 2026 YTD Average Sale Price: $556,000
• 2025 YTD Average Sale Price: $532,000
• Year-over-Year Increase: 4.49%

This sustained appreciation highlights the long-term strength of the St. Albert market and reinforces why so many families continue to choose the community for its quality of life, schools, and amenities.

📈 Ask-to-Sell Ratio

The average ask-to-sell ratio in June was 0.998, meaning homes sold for approximately 99.8% of asking price.

This is an excellent indicator of market stability.

Buyers are negotiating slightly, but sellers are still achieving very close to their list prices.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 1.002
• 2025 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 1.005

The small difference shows that pricing remains accurate and balanced.

Days on MLS®

⏱️ Days on Market

Homes spent an average of 48 days on market in June 2026, representing a 41.18% increase compared to June 2025.

This is one of the more notable shifts in the report.

Several factors may be contributing:

Buyers Are More Selective

As prices rise, buyers are taking additional time to evaluate options and conduct due diligence.

More Inventory Choices

Compared to the rapid-fire conditions seen in previous years, buyers now have more opportunities to compare properties before making decisions.

Seasonal Market Patterns

Summer often brings vacations, travel schedules, and slower decision-making timelines.

Year-to-date, homes are averaging 44 days on market, compared to 38 days last year, representing a 15.79% increase.

While homes are taking longer to sell, 44 days remains a healthy market pace.
