Strathcona County -Acreage Listings

📥 New Listings: A Major Drop in Inventory

One of the most important metrics this month:

👉 Only 34 new listings in March
👉 Down 37.04% from last year

Year-to-date:

  • 76 listings vs 95 in 2025
  • Down 20% overall

This is a huge factor shaping the market right now.

What This Means:

For buyers:

  • Less selection
  • More competition for desirable properties
  • Need to act quickly

For sellers:

  • Less competition
  • Strong positioning if priced correctly
  • Opportunity to stand out in a tight market

Strathcona County - Average Acreage List Price

💵 Asking Prices: Sellers Leaning Into the Market

The average asking price hit $1.07M, up 13.39% year-over-year .

Year-to-date:

  • $1.09M average asking price
  • Up 10.70% from 2025

This shows:

  • Sellers are confident in the market
  • Pricing expectations are rising
  • Inventory scarcity is pushing list prices higher

However, pricing correctly still matters — especially as buyers remain selective.

Strathcona County -Acreage Sales

🏡 Sales Activity: Still Below Last Year, But Rebounding

March saw 21 acreage sales, a 12.50% decrease compared to March 2025 .

However, this number represents a significant jump from January and February, showing that:

  • Buyers are returning to the market
  • Spring activity is beginning to build
  • Confidence is improving after a slow start to the year

Year-to-date, 34 properties have sold compared to 62 last year, a 45.16% decrease .

While that sounds dramatic, it’s important to understand:

  • Early 2025 had unusually high activity
  • 2026 is starting slower but gaining momentum
  • The real test will be April and May

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price: Continued Strength in Values

The average sale price in March 2026 was $893,000, up 8.55% from March 2025 .

Even more important:

  • YTD average sale price = $985,000
  • That’s an 18.21% increase over 2025

This is a major takeaway.

👉 Even with fewer sales, acreage values are rising significantly

This tells us:

  • Buyers are prioritizing quality properties
  • Higher-end acreages are still in demand
  • Sellers are benefiting from long-term appreciation trends

The chart on page 1 shows a clear upward trajectory in prices over the past year, reinforcing that rural property values remain strong heading into spring.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Strong, Stable Negotiations

The ask-to-sell ratio sits at 0.982, meaning homes are selling for 98.2% of asking price .

Year-to-date:

  • Slight dip from 0.986 to 0.984

What this tells us:

  • Buyers still negotiate slightly
  • But not aggressively
  • Well-priced homes are achieving close to full value

Strathcona County Acreage Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market: Homes Selling MUCH Faster

March saw a dramatic improvement in selling speed:

  • 35 days on market
  • Down 32.69% from last year

Year-to-date:

  • 57 days vs 95 days in 2025
  • Down 40% overall

This is one of the strongest signals in the entire report.

This also aligns with:

  • Lower inventory
  • More serious buyers
  • Competitive spring conditions starting to form

Beaumont Real Estate Market Update: March 2026 Statistics

The Beaumont real estate market is officially stepping into the spring season, and March 2026 delivered a mix of signals that both buyers and sellers need to pay attention to. While home prices saw strong year-over-year growth and inventory continues to build, sales activity slowed compared to last year, and homes are taking significantly longer to sell.

This combination points to a more balanced and strategic market, where pricing, timing, and negotiation play a critical role.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Beaumont, this March market update will give you a clear, data-driven understanding of what’s happening right now—and where things are heading.

📊 March 2026 Beaumont Market Summary

Metric March 2026 March 2025 % Change
Sold Properties 32 43 ↓ 25.58%
New Listings 76 83 ↓ 8.43%
Average Asking Price $622,000 $569,000 ↑ 9.28%
Average Sale Price $564,000 $515,000 ↑ 9.52%

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – Beaumont (March 2026)

New construction activity in Beaumont remained steady in March, with a total of 10 new build homes sold. These properties had an average days on market of 57 days, with a median of 52 days, showing that while new homes are still moving, they are taking longer to sell compared to previous years. Pricing remained strong overall, with an average list price of $570,790 and an average sale price of $560,786, indicating that builders are still achieving close to their asking prices. The price range varied significantly, with homes selling between $418,000 and $649,000, appealing to both entry-level buyers and those looking for upgraded, move-in-ready options.

What this tells us is that new construction remains competitive but balanced—buyers have options and time to evaluate, but well-priced, well-finished homes are still selling within a reasonable timeframe. Builder incentives, quick possession opportunities, and energy-efficient features continue to play a major role in attracting buyers in today’s market.

Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ New Listings Dip Slightly but Remain Elevated

There were 76 new listings in March, down 8.43% from last year, but still a strong number for early spring.

Even with the slight decline, overall inventory remains elevated due to strong listing activity in January and February.

Year-to-date, Beaumont has already seen 205 new listings, up 15.82% compared to 2025.

This tells us:

  • Sellers are still very active
  • Inventory is building heading into peak season
  • Buyers have more options than they did last year

Average Asking Price

💰 Asking Prices Continue to Climb

The average asking price rose to $622,000, a 9.28% increase year-over-year.

This is a strong indication that sellers remain confident in Beaumont’s long-term value.

Higher asking prices are often driven by:

  • New construction homes entering the market
  • Larger or upgraded homes being listed
  • Sellers anchoring prices based on previous years

However, asking price alone doesn’t tell the full story.

Beaumont Home Sales

📉 Sales Activity Slows Despite Spring Market

March saw 32 homes sold in Beaumont, down from 43 sales in March 2025 — a 25.58% decrease year-over-year.

This is one of the most important signals in the report.

Normally, March marks the beginning of peak spring activity, but this year, sales have not accelerated at the same pace. This suggests:

  • Buyers are still cautious despite entering the spring season
  • Higher inventory is spreading demand across more listings
  • Decision timelines are longer

Looking at the monthly sold properties chart, you can see that while activity improved from winter months, it still trails behind last year’s pace.

Average Sale Price

📈 Sale Prices Jump 9.52%

Unlike February, March showed a strong rebound in pricing. The average sale price reached $564,000, up 9.52% compared to March 2025.

This is a very positive sign.

It tells us:

  • Buyers are still willing to pay strong prices for the right homes
  • Well-priced listings are attracting serious offers
  • Demand still exists — just more selective

The monthly sales price graph shows this upward trend clearly, with prices stabilizing and rising again after earlier fluctuations.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Declines

The average ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 98.1%, down from near full-price sales last year.

That means homes are selling for about 1.9% below asking price on average.

While still a strong ratio, the trend shows:

  • Negotiation is back
  • Buyers are not rushing into full-price offers
  • Pricing accuracy is critical

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Surge Dramatically

This is the standout stat of the month.

Homes are now taking 85 days on average to sell, compared to just 32 days last year — a massive 165.63% increase.

This shift changes everything about how buyers and sellers should approach the market.

What it means:

  • Buyers have significantly more time to evaluate options
  • Listings are competing harder for attention
  • Overpriced homes are sitting longer

This is one of the clearest indicators that Beaumont has shifted away from a fast-paced seller’s market.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 80 86 ↓ 6.98%
New Listings 205 177 ↑ 15.82%
Average Asking Price $612,000 $583,000 ↑ 4.98%
Average Sale Price $532,000 $523,000 ↑ 1.68%
Days on Market 86 51 ↑ 68.63%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 98.1% 99.7% ↓ 1.59%

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

March is shaping up to be a buyer opportunity window.

✔ More listings than last year
✔ Longer decision timelines
✔ Increased negotiation power
✔ Stable (and rising) long-term pricing

Buyers can:

  • Take time to compare homes
  • Negotiate price and conditions
  • Find value in listings sitting longer

However, the best homes are still selling — just not instantly.

💼 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the strategy has changed compared to previous years.

To succeed in this market:

  • Pricing must be accurate from day one
  • Homes must show exceptionally well
  • Marketing must stand out

The biggest mistake sellers can make right now is:

👉 Pricing based on last year’s peak instead of current market conditions

Homes that are priced right are still selling — and at strong values.

🔮 Spring 2026 Outlook for Beaumont

March has set the tone for the spring market:

📊 Inventory is rising
📉 Sales are slightly down
📈 Prices are stabilizing and growing
⏳ Days on market are increasing

Looking ahead:

  • April and May will likely bring increased buyer activity
  • Competition among sellers will remain high
  • Prices should stay stable with moderate growth
  • Negotiation will continue to be part of most deals

This is shaping up to be a balanced spring market, not the aggressive seller’s market we saw in previous years.

🏡 Should You Buy or Sell Right Now?

If you’re buying:

  • You have time
  • You have choice
  • You have leverage

If you’re selling:

  • You can still achieve strong prices
  • But only with the right pricing and marketing strategy

📞 Thinking About Making a Move in Beaumont?

Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, having the right strategy in today’s shifting market is everything.

Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

📦 New Listings – Significant Increase Signals Spring Surge

March brought a major increase in inventory, with 188 new listings, up 19.75% compared to last year.

Year-to-date, listings are up 3.93%, with 397 homes listed so far in 2026.

This is one of the most important shifts in the market.

➡️ More listings = more options for buyers
➡️ More competition for sellers

This surge is typical for spring, but it also means the market is moving toward a more balanced environment.

Average Asking Price

🏷️ Average Asking Price – Sellers Still Confident

The average asking price in March 2026 was $530,000, up 3.01% compared to March 2025.

Year-to-date, asking prices are averaging $532,000, a 4.43% increase over last year.

This indicates that:

  • Sellers are still confident in the market
  • Pricing expectations remain strong
  • The market continues to support higher valuations

However, the gap between asking and sale prices suggests that buyers are becoming more selective and strategic.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity – Slight Dip, But Market Remains Active

Sherwood Park recorded 128 home sales in March 2026, a 4.48% decrease compared to March 2025. While this represents a modest decline, it’s important to look at the bigger picture.

Year-to-date, 273 homes have sold, which is only a 1.09% decrease from last year. This indicates that buyer demand remains very steady, especially as we enter the spring market.

The slight decline in sales is likely due to:

  • Increased inventory giving buyers more choice
  • Slight affordability pressures
  • A more balanced market compared to the competitive conditions of early 2025

Overall, sales activity remains healthy and consistent.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price – Strong Growth to $532,000

One of the strongest indicators in March is pricing.

The average sale price reached $532,000, representing a 4.23% increase year-over-year. This is a significant milestone, as it shows continued appreciation even as the market becomes more balanced.

Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $518,000, up 1.72% from 2025.

The pricing trend shown in the report’s chart highlights a steady upward trajectory over the past 12–18 months, reinforcing Sherwood Park’s position as a stable and appreciating real estate market.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Market Balancing

The ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 1.002, meaning homes are still selling very close to asking price, but not as aggressively over list as in previous months.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.999, slightly below list price.

This indicates:

  • Buyers have slightly more negotiating power
  • Pricing strategy is becoming more important
  • Overpriced homes may sit longer

This is a key sign of a shifting market dynamic toward balance.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market – Slightly Longer Selling Time

Homes in Sherwood Park took 35 days on average to sell, a 6.06% increase compared to last year.

Year-to-date, homes are averaging 43 days on market, up 16.22% from 2025.

This suggests:

  • Buyers are taking more time to make decisions
  • Inventory increases are slowing absorption rates
  • The market is becoming less rushed than previous years

However, 35 days is still a relatively quick selling timeframe, especially compared to historical norms.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 273 276 -1.09%
Average Asking Price $532,000 $509,000 +4.43%
New Listings 397 382 +3.93%
Days on Market 43 37 +16.22%
Average Sale Price $518,000 $509,000 +1.72%
Ask to Sell Ratio 0.999 1.015 -1.60%

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, the Sherwood Park market is becoming more favourable:

✅ More inventory to choose from

✅ Less pressure to compete aggressively

✅ Opportunities to negotiate

However:

  • Prices are still rising
  • Desirable homes still move quickly
  • Being pre-approved remains essential

This is a strategic window before competition potentially increases later in spring.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the market is still strong—but expectations need to adjust slightly.

✔ Prices are still increasing

✔ Demand remains steady

✔ Spring brings more buyers

But:

  • Competition from other listings is increasing
  • Pricing must be accurate
  • Presentation is more important than ever

Homes that are well-prepared and properly priced will still perform very well.

📍 Neighbourhood Trends in Sherwood Park

Some of the most active and desirable neighbourhoods continue to include:

  • Lakeland Ridge – Popular for families and schools
  • Emerald Hills – Strong demand for newer homes and amenities
  • Summerwood – Affordable and accessible for first-time buyers
  • Heritage Hills – Mature neighbourhood appeal

These areas continue to see strong activity due to location and lifestyle factors.

🔮 Sherwood Park Market Outlook – Spring 2026

March confirms that the spring market is underway.

Key trends to watch moving forward:

  • Continued growth in listings
  • Stable but moderate price increases
  • Balanced conditions between buyers and sellers
  • Faster activity as weather improves

If inventory continues to rise, the market could remain balanced. However, if buyer demand accelerates faster than listings, Sherwood Park could shift back toward a seller-favoured environment.

📞 Thinking About Buying or Selling?

The Sherwood Park market is shifting—but opportunity exists on both sides.

Whether you're:

  • Buying your first home
  • Moving up
  • Downsizing
  • Selling in the spring market

Understanding the data and timing your move correctly is key.

While overall sales volume remains slightly behind 2025 levels, key indicators suggest the market is stabilizing and preparing for a more competitive spring season.

For buyers and sellers navigating the acreage market west of Edmonton, March provides a much clearer picture of where 2026 is heading.

📊 Sales Activity: Picking Up but Still Below Last Year

In March 2026, 27 properties sold, representing a 6.90% decrease compared to March 2025 .

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD sales: 50
  • 2025 YTD sales: 59
  • Change: ↓ 15.25%

While sales are still trailing last year, this is a noticeable improvement from the slower January and February start.

What this tells us: Buyer activity is beginning to return, but not yet at full spring levels.

🏷️ New Listings: Inventory Still Lagging

Inventory remains one of the most important factors in this market.

In March 2026:

  • 43 new listings
  • ↓ 20.37% compared to March 2025

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 listings: 98
  • 2025 listings: 135
  • Change: ↓ 27.41%

This is a significant drop in available inventory.

What this means:
If buyer demand continues to increase through spring, this low supply could push prices higher and create more competition.

Average List Price

📈 Average Asking Price: Continued Growth

The average asking price in March 2026 was $516,000, an increase of 16.65% year-over-year .

Year-to-date asking price:

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price: Strong Rebound

One of the biggest takeaways this month is the significant jump in sale price.

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD average sale price: $502,000
  • 2025 YTD average sale price: $499,000
  • Change: ↑ 0.56%

This shows a strong rebound after the softer price trends seen earlier in 2026.

Key insight: Buyers are willing to pay more for the right properties—especially larger acreages, updated homes, and well-located rural properties.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Gaining Strength

The average ask-to-sell ratio in March 2026 was 97.7%, slightly up year-over-year .

Year-to-date:

  • 2026: 98.0%

  • Change: ↑ 1.41%

This means:

  • Buyers are paying closer to asking price
  • Sellers are negotiating less
  • The market is becoming more balanced in favour of sellers

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market: Improving Efficiency

The average days on market in March 2026 was 138 days, which is a 19.77% decrease compared to March 2025 .

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD DOM: 118 days
  • 2025 YTD DOM: 164 days
  • Change: ↓ 28.05%

Ask-to-Sell Ratio 0.980 0.967 ↑ 1.41%

(Statistics sourced from the March 2026 Lac Ste. Anne Acreages Market Update .)

🔎 What This Means for Buyers

  • Prices are rising again — waiting could cost more
  • Inventory is limited — fewer options available
  • Homes are selling faster — be prepared to act quickly

Strategy: Get pre-approved and be ready before peak spring competition hits.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

  • Strong price growth and improved ratios favour sellers
  • Lower inventory means less competition
  • Homes are selling faster than last year

Strategy: Listing now positions you ahead of the spring surge and maximizes exposure.

🔮 Spring 2026 Outlook

The March data suggests we are entering a more competitive spring market:

  • Prices are rising
  • Inventory is low
  • Homes are selling faster
  • Buyers are paying closer to list price

If these trends continue, Lac Ste. Anne could shift into a strong seller-leaning market through April and May.

Devon Real Estate Market Update: March 2026

The Devon real estate market continued to shift in March 2026 as we moved closer to the spring market. With rising prices, increasing year-to-date inventory, and a notable jump in days on market, this month’s numbers tell the story of a market transitioning into a more balanced environment.

For buyers and sellers alike, March provides valuable insight into what to expect as we head into one of the busiest times of the year.

📊 March 2026 Market Snapshot

Metric March 2026 % Change vs March 2025
Sold Properties 12 ↑ 20.00%
New Listings 10 ↓ 33.33%
Average Asking Price $427,000 ↑ 21.74%

🏗️ New Home Sales in Devon – March 2026

New construction activity in Devon remained limited but strong in March, with 2 new homes sold during the month. The average list price for these properties was $625,847, with homes ranging from $602,250 to $649,444, reflecting the higher-end segment of Devon’s market. On the sold side, the average sale price came in at $614,000, with final sale prices ranging between $587,000 and $641,000.

Homes took an average of 41 days to sell, indicating steady buyer interest in new construction despite the broader increase in days on market across the resale sector. The relatively tight gap between list and sale prices suggests that builders are pricing accurately and buyers remain confident in the value of new homes in Devon. With a total sales volume of approximately $1.23 million, new builds continue to play an important role in driving overall market value — particularly for buyers seeking modern layouts, upgraded finishes, and turnkey living options.

Devon New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ Listings Drop Month-to-Month, But Surge YTD

March saw 10 new listings, a 33.33% decrease compared to March 2025. While this may seem like a tightening of inventory, the bigger picture tells a different story.

Year-to-date, Devon has seen 41 new listings, which is a 51.85% increase over 2025.

This means more inventory has already entered the market earlier in the year — giving buyers more choice overall — even if March itself saw fewer new properties come online.

 

Average List Price

💲 Asking Prices Continue to Climb

The average asking price in March reached $427,000, up 21.74% year-over-year.

Even more notable is the year-to-date asking price of $504,000, a massive 32.93% increase compared to 2025.

This clearly shows strong seller confidence and a shift toward higher-priced homes entering the market. It also reflects Devon’s continued growth as a desirable community for buyers seeking value outside Edmonton.

Devon Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Picks Up

Devon recorded 12 home sales in March 2026, representing a 20% increase compared to March 2025. This is a strong signal that buyer activity is picking up as we move into the spring market.

However, when we zoom out, year-to-date sales sit at 29 homes, slightly below last year’s 30 sales. This minor decline suggests that while activity is improving, the market is still stabilizing after a slower start to the year.

Average Sale Price

💵 Sale Prices Show Strong Growth

The average sale price in March came in at $418,000, which is an 11.19% increase compared to March 2025.

Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $435,000, up 7.06% from last year.

This is one of the most important indicators in the report — confirming that buyers are still willing to pay higher prices, even as inventory increases.

⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio Softens Slightly

The ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 0.974, meaning homes sold for about 97.4% of their asking price.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.981, slightly below last year’s 0.993.

This suggests:

  • Buyers are negotiating more
  • Sellers may need to adjust expectations
  • Pricing correctly from the start is key

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Spike Significantly

One of the most eye-catching stats this month is the jump in days on market, which climbed to 85 days, a 507.14% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-date, homes are taking 63 days to sell, up 34.04% compared to last year.

This shift indicates:

  • Buyers are taking more time to make decisions
  • Increased inventory is creating more competition among listings
  • Pricing strategy is becoming more critical than ever

Homes are still selling — but not as quickly as they were in previous months.

📆 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

This suggests:

  • Buyers are negotiating more
  • Sellers may need to adjust expectations
  • Pricing correctly from the start is key

🧠 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re planning to sell in Devon this spring:

✔ Prices are strong and trending upward
✔ Buyers are active and sales are increasing
✔ But homes are taking longer to sell
✔ And negotiation is becoming more common

Strategy matters more than ever. Overpricing could result in longer time on market, while well-priced homes will still attract strong interest.

🏡 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, March presents opportunity:

  • More listings year-to-date means more choice
  • Longer days on market means less urgency
  • Negotiation power is improving
  • Prices are rising — but still offering value compared to Edmonton

Buyers who act strategically now may be able to secure a home before competition intensifies further into spring.

🌟 Devon’s Continued Appeal

Devon remains one of the most attractive communities in the Edmonton region due to:

  • Proximity to Edmonton and major employment hubs
  • Strong sense of community
  • Access to river valley trails and outdoor recreation
  • More affordable housing compared to many city neighbourhoods

These fundamentals continue to support long-term demand and price growth.

🔮 What to Expect for Spring 2026

Based on March trends, we can expect:

  • Continued increase in listings
  • Rising but stabilizing prices
  • Longer days on market compared to peak seller markets
  • A more balanced market overall

Devon is shifting from a fast-paced seller’s market into a more strategic, balanced environment — which can benefit both buyers and sellers when approached correctly.

Edmonton Condo Real Estate Market March 2026

The Edmonton condo market continued to transition in March 2026 as we moved firmly into the spring real estate season. While activity picked up compared to the winter months, year-over-year numbers show a slower pace overall. At the same time, prices adjusted slightly and inventory remained elevated, creating a more balanced market for both buyers and sellers.

For anyone considering buying or selling a condo in Edmonton, March’s data provides valuable insight into where the market is heading as we move into one of the busiest times of the year.

Edmonton Condo New MLS® Listings

Inventory Remains Elevated

There were 621 new condo listings in March, a 5.19% decrease from last year .

Even though listings are slightly down year-over-year, inventory remains elevated compared to earlier in 2026.

This means:

  • Buyers still have strong selection
  • Sellers face more competition
  • Differentiation (pricing, staging, upgrades) is key

Average List Price Edmonton Condos

Asking Prices Continue to Ease

The average asking price dropped to $232,000, down 2.36% year-over-year .

This aligns with what we’re seeing in sale prices — sellers are becoming more realistic and pricing closer to market value.

This is a healthy adjustment and often leads to:

  • Faster sales for correctly priced units
  • Fewer price reductions later
  • More efficient transactions overall

Edmonton Condo Sales

Condo Sales Activity Picks Up, But Still Trails Last Year

In March 2026, 297 condos sold in Edmonton, which is a 17.50% decrease compared to March 2025 .

While sales are down year-over-year, this is actually an improvement from January and February activity levels. This tells us that the spring market is beginning to gain traction, even if it hasn’t reached last year’s pace.

What this means:

  • Buyers are re-entering the market
  • Momentum is building heading into April and May
  • Competition is still lower than typical spring conditions

Edmonton Average Condo Sale Price

Condo Prices Adjust Slightly in March

The average sale price in March was $205,000, representing a 4.88% decrease compared to last year .

This is one of the more notable shifts this month. After relatively stable pricing earlier in the year, we’re now seeing some downward pressure on condo prices.

However, this doesn’t signal a major decline — rather:

  • Buyers are becoming more price-sensitive
  • Sellers are adjusting expectations
  • The market is finding a new balance point

Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Strong

The ask-to-sell ratio is 0.964, meaning condos are selling for about 96.4% of their list price .

This is still a healthy number and shows:

  • Sellers are achieving close to asking price
  • The market is balanced — not distressed
  • Negotiation is present, but controlled

 

Average Days on Market

Days on Market Improves, But Still Elevated

Condos took an average of 82 days to sell, which is 17.14% longer than March 2025 .

While this is an improvement compared to February, properties are still taking longer to sell than last year.

Important insight:

  • Well-priced condos are still selling quickly
  • Overpriced listings are sitting longer
  • Buyers are taking more time to make decisions

 

Below is a summary of the year-to-date condo statistics for 2026 compared to 2025.

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 689 879 -21.62%
Average Asking Price $235,000 $244,000 -3.54%

Average Sale Price $208,000 $211,000 -1.55%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 0.960 0.966 -0.66%

What This Means for Buyers

March is shaping up to be a strong opportunity for buyers in Edmonton’s condo market.

Buyers currently benefit from:

  • More listings to choose from
  • Less competition than peak spring markets
  • Slightly softer pricing
  • Negotiation opportunities

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to enter the market, this is one of the more favourable conditions we’ve seen in the past year.

What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, the March market requires a more strategic approach.

To succeed:

  • Price your condo correctly from day one
  • Ensure your unit shows well (clean, staged, updated)
  • Use strong marketing (photos, exposure, positioning)

The condos that are selling right now are the ones that stand out — not the ones testing the market.

Edmonton Condo Market Outlook – Spring 2026

As we move into April and May, we expect:

  • Increased buyer activity
  • More listings entering the market
  • Stabilization in pricing
  • Gradual reduction in days on market

The Edmonton condo market is not declining — it’s adjusting into a more balanced environment after stronger years.

Fort Saskatchewan Real Estate Market March 2026

The Fort Saskatchewan real estate market in March 2026 marks a clear transition into the spring housing season — traditionally the busiest and most competitive time of year. After a slower start to 2026, March brought renewed energy with increased sales activity, rising prices, and continued inventory stability.

Compared to March 2025, the market shows encouraging signs of recovery in transaction volume, paired with strong price growth — a combination that reflects renewed buyer confidence and resilient market fundamentals.

For both buyers and sellers, March provides a critical snapshot of what to expect as we move deeper into the spring market.

New Construction Market Update – Fort Saskatchewan (March 2026)

The new construction segment in Fort Saskatchewan remained active in March 2026, with 16 homes sold, indicating steady demand for newer properties despite broader market adjustments. One of the most notable trends this month is the strength in sale pricing compared to list pricing.

  • Average List Price: $525,579
  • Average Sale Price: $542,505

This shows that new construction homes are selling for approximately 103% of their asking price, highlighting continued buyer demand and competitive conditions in this segment.

Pricing ranged from $362,999 to $774,444, with a median sale price of $554,314, reinforcing that most activity is concentrated in the mid-to-upper price ranges — particularly appealing to move-up buyers and those seeking modern finishes and energy-efficient homes.

Homes took an average of 57 days to sell, with a median of 44 days, indicating a balanced pace. While buyers are still taking time to evaluate options, well-priced new builds are moving efficiently and, in many cases, attracting strong offers.

Overall, the new construction market in Fort Saskatchewan is showing strong price performance, steady absorption, and continued buyer confidence — especially as we move deeper into the spring market.

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:

  • Not too high, which prevents price declines
  • Not too low, which avoids extreme competition

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.

Fort Saskatchewan Average List Price

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.

Fort Saskatchewan Home Sales

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:

  • The market is recovering from a slower start to the year
  • Buyer activity is accelerating as we move into spring

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.

Fort Saskatchewan Average Home Sale Price

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:

  • Buyers are willing to pay higher prices for the right properties
  • Demand is strong in key price segments
  • The market is experiencing real value growth, not just listing inflation

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:

  • Well-priced homes are attracting competitive interest
  • Multiple-offer scenarios are returning in certain segments
  • Buyer confidence is strengthening

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.

Average Days on Market

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:

  • More inventory entering the market
  • Buyers taking more time to evaluate options
  • A shift toward a more balanced market

Homes are still selling — but buyers are being more selective, and the pace is less aggressive than previous years.

Year-to-Date Market Comparison – March 2026 vs March 2025

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 157 179 -12.29%
New Listings 243 234 +3.85%
Average Asking Price $468,000 $451,000 +3.75%
Average Sale Price $454,000 $438,000 +3.53%

What These Numbers Mean for Spring 2026

Fort Saskatchewan’s real estate market is showing a clear shift into a more balanced spring market. While sales remain slightly behind 2025 levels, rising prices and increased inventory indicate growing confidence and activity. Buyers have more options than last year, but strong sale prices and near-list selling ratios show that demand is still very much present — especially for well-priced homes.

What March’s Market Means for Buyers

For buyers, March represents a shift toward a more competitive environment.

Key takeaways:

  • Prices are rising — particularly in desirable neighbourhoods
  • Some homes are selling at or above asking price
  • Inventory is still manageable, but competition is increasing

Buyers should:

  • Get pre-approved early
  • Be prepared to act quickly on desirable properties
  • Work with a REALTOR® to identify value opportunities

While conditions are becoming more competitive, Fort Saskatchewan still offers excellent affordability compared to surrounding markets.

What March’s Market Means for Sellers

Fort Saskatchewan Spring 2026 Forecast

Based on March’s data, the Fort Saskatchewan real estate market is expected to continue strengthening through spring.

We are likely to see:

  • Increased sales activity in April and May
  • Continued upward pressure on prices
  • More competitive conditions in key price ranges
  • Faster days on market as demand increases

However, the market is expected to remain balanced overall, avoiding the extreme seller conditions seen in previous years.

Final Thoughts: A Strong Start to Spring

The March 2026 Fort Saskatchewan real estate market confirms that the spring season is underway, with increasing activity, rising prices, and strengthening buyer confidence.

While year-to-date sales remain slightly behind 2025, the monthly rebound and price growth suggest that the market is gaining momentum.

For buyers, this means acting sooner rather than later.
For sellers, this is an excellent window to enter the market.

Fort Saskatchewan continues to stand out as one of the most stable, affordable, and opportunity-rich communities in the Edmonton region.

The St. Albert real estate market is beginning to transition into the highly anticipated spring season, and March 2026 offers an important snapshot of where the market is heading.

As we move deeper into spring, these early indicators suggest a competitive but balanced market, where both buyers and sellers can find opportunities with the right strategy.

If you’re considering making a move this spring, now is the time to understand what these trends mean.

  • Average asking price: $563,000
  • 199 new listings
  • 35 days on market
  • Ask-to-sell ratio: 1.007

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – St. Albert (March 2026)

New construction homes continue to play a significant role in the St. Albert real estate market, offering buyers modern layouts, energy efficiency, and move-in-ready options. The March 2026 data shows a strong and stable new home segment, with consistent pricing and solid demand.

📊 New Construction Snapshot

  • 12 new homes sold
  • Average days on market: 48 days
  • Median days on market: 43 days
  • Price range: $489,000 – $1,300,000

💰 Pricing Breakdown

List Prices:

  • Average: $753,049
  • Median: $689,900

Sale Prices:

  • Average: $751,051
  • Median: $685,993

The small gap between list and sale price shows that builders are pricing accurately and buyers are willing to pay close to asking, which is a strong indicator of market confidence.

📈 What This Means for Buyers

New construction remains a very attractive option in St. Albert, particularly for:

  • Buyers wanting modern finishes and layouts
  • Families looking in growing communities like Jensen Lakes and Erin Ridge North
  • Buyers interested in energy-efficient homes and lower maintenance costs

With an average of just 48 days on market, new builds are moving at a steady pace — giving buyers some time to make decisions, but not enough to delay too long on desirable properties.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers & Builders

For builders and sellers of new homes:

  • Pricing remains highly competitive and accurate
  • Demand is steady across a wide price range
  • Luxury new builds (over $1M) are still finding buyers

The consistency between list and sale price suggests a well-balanced new construction market, without heavy discounting or oversupply.

🔮 New Construction Outlook for Spring 2026

As we move further into spring, expect:

  • Increased demand for quick possession homes
  • Continued competition in mid-range new builds ($600K–$800K)
  • Strong interest in turnkey properties

New construction will continue to support overall price growth in St. Albert, especially as buyers look for alternatives to resale homes.

St. Albert New Listing Count

📦 New Listings: Inventory Expanding for Spring

March saw a significant increase in new listings:

  • 199 new listings, up 19.16% year-over-year
  • 455 listings YTD, up 3.64%

This is one of the most important trends in the report.

More listings mean:

  • More choice for buyers
  • More competition for sellers
  • A shift toward a more balanced market

This increase is typical for spring and signals that the busy season is officially underway.

Average List Price

🏷️ Average Asking Price: Sellers Staying Competitive

The average asking price in March was $563,000, up 3.98% from last year.

Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $570,000, which is a 4.90% increase compared to 2025.

This shows that:

  • Sellers are pricing confidently but realistically
  • Listing strategies are aligning closely with market value
  • The gap between asking and selling price remains tight

St. Albert Home Sales

🏡 Homes Sold: A Temporary Dip Before Spring Surge

In March 2026, 122 homes sold, representing a 12.86% decrease compared to March 2025.

Year-to-date, 282 homes have sold, compared to 303 last year, a 6.93% decrease.

While this may appear concerning, it’s important to understand the context:

  • Early 2026 saw higher price points, which can slow buyer decision-making
  • Buyers are becoming more selective and strategic
  • Inventory levels are improving, giving buyers more choice

This does not indicate a weak market—it reflects a more balanced and thoughtful buying environment compared to the fast-paced conditions of 2024 and early 2025.

Average Sale Price of Homes

💰 Average Sale Price: Continued Upward Momentum

The average sale price in March 2026 was $539,000, a 2.45% increase year-over-year.

More importantly, the year-to-date average sale price is now $559,000, which is a 10.79% increase compared to 2025.

This confirms that:

  • Home values in St. Albert continue to rise
  • Buyers are still willing to pay for quality homes
  • Long-term equity growth remains strong

Even with fewer sales, pricing strength indicates a healthy and desirable market.

📈 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Regaining Strength

The ask-to-sell ratio in March is 1.007, meaning homes are selling for 100.7% of asking price.

This is a key indicator of a competitive market.

Year-to-date, the ratio is 1.002, slightly down from last year, but still extremely strong.

This suggests:

  • Multiple offers are returning in some segments
  • Well-priced homes are selling at or above list price
  • Sellers still hold a slight advantage in desirable price ranges

Days on MLS®

⏱️ Days on Market: Homes Selling Faster

Homes in March sold in an average of 35 days, which is 7.89% faster than last year.

However, year-to-date days on market are 53 days, up 23.26% from 2025.

This tells us two important things:

  1. Momentum is building now — homes are selling faster in March
  2. Earlier months (January/February) were slower due to seasonal conditions

As we move into April and May, we can expect days on market to continue trending downward.

📊 Year-to-Date Comparison Chart (March 2026 vs March 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Homes Sold 282 303 -6.93%
Average Sale Price $559,000 $505,000 +10.79%
Average Asking Price $570,000 $543,000 +4.90%
New Listings 455 439 +3.64%
Days on Market 53 43 +23.26%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 1.002 1.004 -0.29%

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, March signals a window of opportunity before peak competition.

Key advantages:

  • More listings to choose from
  • Slightly less competition than peak spring
  • Still room for negotiation in some segments

Challenges:

  • Rising prices
  • Faster-moving homes compared to earlier months
  • Potential multiple-offer situations on desirable properties

👉 Buyers who act early in spring may avoid the most competitive conditions later in April and May.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, March is the start of prime selling season.

Why this is a great time to list:

  • Increased buyer activity
  • Rising sale prices
  • Homes selling faster
  • Strong ask-to-sell ratios

However, with more listings entering the market, sellers must:

  • Price strategically
  • Prepare homes properly
  • Market aggressively

The days of “list and wait” are gone—presentation and pricing matter more than ever.

🌟 Neighbourhood Trends in St. Albert

Demand continues to be strongest in:

  • Jensen Lakes – lake lifestyle and newer homes
  • Erin Ridge North – growing community with family appeal
  • Oakmont – luxury homes and mature setting
  • North Ridge – consistent resale demand

Higher-end homes continue to influence average pricing, particularly in communities with new construction and upgraded properties.

🔮 Spring 2026 Market Outlook

March confirms that the St. Albert market is heading into a strong spring season.

What we expect next:

  • Increased sales activity in April and May
  • Continued upward pressure on prices
  • Faster days on market
  • More competitive conditions for buyers

If inventory growth slows while demand increases, we could see a more seller-favoured market by late spring.

🏁 Final Thoughts: A Market Gaining Momentum

March 2026 shows a market that is:

✔ Stabilizing after winter
✔ Growing in inventory
✔ Increasing in price
✔ Moving faster
✔ Becoming more competitive

While sales volume is slightly down, pricing strength and market activity confirm that St. Albert remains a highly desirable and resilient market.
