New Construction Comparison – April 2026 vs April 2025
| Metric | April 2026 | April 2025 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing Count (Sales) | 24 | 14 | +71.43% |
| Avg Days on Market | 77 | 57 | +35.09% |

| Total Sales Volume | $12,704,880 | $7,760,202 | +63.72% |
Sales Activity: Significant Increase in New Build Demand
April 2026 recorded 24 new construction sales, a 71.43% increase compared to 14 sales in April 2025.
This is a major shift and signals:
👉 Strong buyer demand for new homes
👉 Increased builder inventory being absorbed
👉 Growing confidence in Fort Saskatchewan’s new construction market
Even though overall resale sales were slightly down, new construction clearly gained traction this month.
Pricing: Slight Adjustment, But Strong Value Retention
New construction pricing showed a slight softening compared to April 2025:
- Average Sale Price (2026): $529,370
- Average Sale Price (2025): $554,300
This represents a 4.50% decrease year-over-year, but context is key here.
Despite the slight dip:
- Median sale price actually increased to $532,450
- Price ranges remained strong across mid-market segments
- Homes are still selling close to asking price
👉 This suggests:
- More entry-level and mid-range product entered the market
- Builders are pricing strategically to attract buyers
- Demand remains healthy, just more price-sensitive
Days on Market: Longer Timelines Reflect Buyer Choice
Homes took longer to sell in April 2026:
- Average DOM: 77 days (up from 57 days in 2025)
- Median DOM: 57 days
This increase reflects:
- More available inventory
- Buyers taking time to compare options
- Less urgency compared to previous years
However, a ~2-month absorption rate is still considered healthy and balanced for new construction.
Price Range & Market Segment Trends
New construction homes in April ranged from:
- Low: $379,021
- High: $754,000
This continues to confirm that the $400K–$600K range dominates the market, appealing to:
- Move-up buyers
- First-time buyers entering new builds
- Buyers relocating from Edmonton seeking value
Total Volume: Strong Growth in Market Activity
Total new construction sales volume reached $12.7M, compared to $7.76M in April 2025 — a 63.72% increase.
👉 This is one of the strongest signals in this report.
It shows that:
- More homes are selling
- Buyers are actively entering the new construction space
- Builders are successfully moving inventory
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers considering new construction:
✅ More inventory = more choice
✅ Builders may be more flexible on pricing or incentives
✅ Less competition than peak seller markets
However:
- Well-priced homes still move quickly
- Popular floorplans and communities can still be competitive
- Working with a REALTOR® before visiting showhomes is critical
What This Means for Builders & Sellers
For builders and sellers:
✅ Sales volume is up significantly
✅ Demand remains strong
✅ Strategic pricing is working
But:
- Buyers are more price-sensitive
- Longer days on market require stronger marketing
- Product mix (price point + layout) matters more than ever
Key Takeaway
The April 2026 new construction market in Fort Saskatchewan shows:
✔ Strong growth in sales activity
✔ Stable pricing with slight adjustments
✔ Balanced absorption rates
✔ Continued demand in key price segments
While prices have softened slightly compared to 2025, the increase in volume and overall market activity confirms that new construction remains a highly attractive option for buyers.

New Listings: Inventory Surge Creates More Choice

Sales Activity: Slight Dip Year-Over-Year Despite Strong Spring Demand
In April 2026, 69 homes sold in Fort Saskatchewan, representing a 5.48% decrease compared to April 2025.
