Leduc County -Acreage Listings

New Listings Decline Slightly in September

There were 39 new listings in Rural Leduc County during September, a 2.50% decrease compared with September 2025.

That represents approximately one fewer new listing than the previous year.

Although September brought slightly fewer new properties to market, the year-to-date numbers show that overall listing activity remains higher.

Through September 2026:

• 2026 new listings: 326
• 2025 new listings: 304
• Increase: 7.24%

For buyers, the increase in year-to-date listing activity suggests that more properties have entered the market throughout 2026.

However, new listings are not the same as active inventory. The number of properties currently available would need to be considered separately to determine overall supply.

For sellers, the combination of higher firm sales and slightly fewer new listings in September may be encouraging, particularly for properties that are priced competitively.

Leduc County - Average Acreage List Price

Average Asking Price Reaches $894,000

The average asking price was $894,000 in September 2026, representing a 7.21% increase compared with September 2025.

Year-to-date, the average asking price reached $883,000, compared with $873,000 last year.

That's a modest increase of 1.16%.

Interestingly, the year-to-date average sale price increased considerably more than the average asking price.

This difference highlights why acreage values should be evaluated using multiple market indicators rather than one statistic.

When determining an appropriate listing price, sellers should consider the location, home condition, lot size, services, outbuildings and comparable sales.

A property with a large heated shop, paved access and a newer home may appeal to a very different buyer than an older acreage with fewer improvements.

Pricing based on the property's unique characteristics is essential.

Leduc County -Acreage Sales

Leduc County Acreage Sales Increase 30.77%

September recorded 17 firm sales, compared with 13 during September 2025.

That represents a 30.77% increase in sales activity year over year.

Although September sales were slightly below the 19 recorded in August, the year-over-year improvement is significant.

The monthly sales chart also illustrates how activity has fluctuated throughout the spring and summer:

July was the strongest month during this six-month period, with 23 firm sales.

September's 17 sales indicate that buyers continued purchasing rural properties as the market moved into fall.

Year-to-Date Sales Activity

Through September 2026, 140 properties have recorded firm sales, compared with 128 during the same period in 2025.

That's an increase of 9.38%.

For acreage sellers, this is encouraging. Despite the specialized nature of rural real estate, there continues to be an active buyer pool interested in properties throughout Leduc County.

However, an increase in transactions doesn't necessarily mean every acreage will sell quickly. Location, pricing, property condition and available improvements remain important factors.

Average Sale Price

Average Sale Price Climbs to $814,000

One of September's most significant developments was the increase in average acreage sale prices.

The average sale price reached $814,000, compared with approximately $751,000 in September 2025.

That represents an 8.44% increase year over year.

September's average was also slightly higher than August's reported $798,000.

Year-to-Date Average Sale Price

The longer-term comparison is particularly noteworthy.

• 2026 YTD: $866,000
• 2025 YTD: $761,000
• Change: +13.85%

This means the average sale price of properties sold through September 2026 was approximately $105,000 higher than the comparable average from 2025.

However, that does not mean every individual acreage has appreciated by 13.85%.

Unlike a typical suburban neighbourhood, where homes may have similar lot sizes, construction styles and features, acreage properties can vary considerably.

A smaller acreage with an older home may sell for substantially less than a newer executive acreage with a heated shop, extensive landscaping and additional outbuildings.

As a result, changes in the types of properties sold can significantly influence the average sale price.

For homeowners considering selling, a detailed comparative market analysis remains the most reliable way to understand how their particular property compares with recent sales.

Average Ask-to-Sell Ratio Falls to 96.4%

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 96.4% in September, down 5.40% from the previous September's reported ratio.

This means properties sold for approximately 96.4% of their asking prices on average.

For example, a property listed at $900,000 and selling at 96.4% of its asking price would sell for approximately $867,600.

This is only an illustration of the ratio, not the actual sale price of a specific property.

Year-to-date, the average ask-to-sell ratio was 97.0%, compared with 98.2% in 2025.

The slight decline in the YTD ratio suggests buyers may have somewhat more negotiating room relative to asking prices.

For sellers, it reinforces the importance of choosing a competitive asking price from the beginning.

Overpricing an acreage can reduce showing activity and make a property less appealing when compared with similar listings.

Leduc County Acreage Average Days on Market

Days on Market Increase to 68 in September

The average Rural Leduc County property took 68 days to sell in September, an increase of 23.64% compared with September 2025.

This indicates that properties sold during September spent more time on the market than those sold during the same month last year.

However, the year-to-date statistics tell a different story.

According to the September report:

• 2026 YTD: 52.1 days
• 2025 YTD: 62.4 days
• Change: -16.55%

The report therefore shows shorter average selling times for the year overall, despite September's increase.

This is an important distinction for acreage sellers.

Rural properties often require a more specialized marketing approach because buyers may have very specific requirements.

Some buyers are looking for space for recreational vehicles or a workshop. Others may prioritize privacy, mature trees, equestrian facilities or proximity to Edmonton.

A property that meets a particular buyer's needs may attract attention quickly, while another acreage may take longer to find the right purchaser.

Professional marketing and accurate pricing remain essential.
