Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ Inventory Continues to Expand

One of the biggest stories in Beaumont this year continues to be inventory growth.

A total of 111 new listings came to market in May, representing a substantial 30.59% increase compared to May 2025.

This brings the year-to-date total to 408 new listings, up 17.58% from the same period last year.

This increase in inventory provides buyers with:

• More homes to choose from
• Greater negotiating power
• Additional time to evaluate options

For sellers, however, the growing inventory means increased competition. Proper pricing, professional marketing, and strong presentation have become increasingly important to stand out from competing listings.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price in Beaumont

The average asking price in Beaumont was $591,000 in May 2026, representing a slight 1.52% decrease from May 2025.

While the monthly figure softened slightly, the broader trend remains positive. Year-to-date, Beaumont's average asking price sits at $600,000, up 2.09% compared to 2025.

This suggests sellers remain confident in the long-term strength of the Beaumont market, while also adjusting pricing strategies to align with increased competition and changing buyer expectations.

Communities such as Triomphe Estates, Forest Heights, Dansereau Meadows, and Place Chaleureuse continue attracting strong interest from buyers seeking newer homes, larger lots, and family-oriented neighbourhoods.

Beaumont Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Remains Strong

Beaumont recorded 53 residential property sales in May 2026, only one sale fewer than May 2025. While that represents a modest 1.85% decline year-over-year, the market remains remarkably active considering the significant increase in inventory available to buyers.

The monthly sales chart shows Beaumont maintaining consistent activity throughout the first five months of the year. Sales have steadily improved from January's 21 transactions to May's 53 sales, reflecting the typical seasonal increase in buyer activity as spring transitions into summer.

Although year-to-date sales remain slightly behind 2025 levels, the difference is minimal. Beaumont has recorded 184 sales so far in 2026, compared to 188 during the same period last year, representing just a 2.13% decrease.

Average Sale Price

🏡 Average Sale Price Reaches New Highs

One of the strongest indicators in May's report was the continued growth in sold prices.

The average sale price climbed to $582,000, representing a significant 9.43% increase compared to May 2025.

This increase demonstrates that buyers remain willing to pay premium prices for desirable homes despite rising inventory levels.

Year-to-date, Beaumont's average sale price has reached $554,000, up 3.81% compared to the same period in 2025.

This is particularly encouraging because it shows property values continuing to appreciate even as inventory expands and buyers gain more options.

The monthly sales price graph included in the report shows pricing trending upward throughout the first half of 2026, with May posting one of the strongest average sale prices recorded in recent months.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Healthy

The average ask-to-sell ratio in May was 98.3%, down slightly from last year.

This means sellers are still receiving very close to their asking price, with homes selling for approximately 98 cents on every dollar listed.

Although negotiation has become more common, Beaumont remains a healthy market where properly priced homes continue attracting strong offers.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Homes Continue Taking Longer to Sell

While pricing remains strong, homes are taking considerably longer to sell than they were a year ago.

The average days on market increased to 83 days, up 84.44% from May 2025.

Year-to-date, Beaumont homes are averaging 82 days on market, compared to 43 days during the same period last year — an increase of 90.70%.

This trend reflects:

• Increased inventory levels
• More selective buyers
• Longer decision-making timelines
• Greater emphasis on pricing and presentation

The days of buyers rushing into offers within hours of a property hitting the market have largely disappeared. Today's buyers are conducting more research, viewing more properties, and negotiating more carefully.

📊 Year-to-Date Market Comparison

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers are benefiting from the most balanced Beaumont market we've seen in several years.

Advantages include:

✔ More inventory to choose from
✔ Less pressure to compete immediately
✔ Greater negotiating power
✔ Stable long-term property values

While home prices continue rising, buyers now have more time and flexibility to find the right property.

💼 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers continue benefiting from strong property values and healthy demand.

However, success in today's market requires:

✔ Competitive pricing
✔ Professional marketing
✔ High-quality photography
✔ Strong home presentation

The good news is that Beaumont homes continue selling at nearly full asking price and average sale prices are reaching new highs.

🔮 Summer 2026 Market Outlook

Looking ahead to June and July, Beaumont appears poised for a healthy summer market.

Key trends to watch include:

📈 Continued inventory growth
📈 Stable sales activity
📈 Ongoing price appreciation
📉 Increased competition among sellers

If inventory continues to rise at its current pace, buyers will likely maintain strong negotiating leverage while sellers will need to remain strategic with pricing.

Sherwood Park Real Estate Market Update: May 2026 Statistics

The Sherwood Park real estate market continued its strong performance in May 2026, posting significant gains in sales activity while maintaining healthy price appreciation. As the spring market reaches its peak, buyers remain active, inventory levels continue to improve, and sellers are benefiting from sustained demand across multiple price points.

Sherwood Park remains one of the Edmonton region's most sought-after communities, offering residents a unique blend of suburban living, excellent schools, extensive recreation opportunities, and convenient access to Edmonton. These factors continue to support long-term housing demand and contribute to the area's resilience even as market conditions evolve.

May's numbers reveal a market that remains competitive but increasingly balanced, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers as we move into the summer season. Let's take a closer look at what happened in the Sherwood Park housing market this month.

📊 Key Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – May 2026

Interactive bar graphs

Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

📦 Inventory Levels Continue to Improve

One of the most positive developments for buyers is the continued increase in available inventory.

Sherwood Park saw 207 new listings hit the market in May, a 5.08% increase compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, there have been 803 new listings, up 9.40% from last year.

More inventory provides buyers with:

• Greater selection
• More flexibility
• Reduced pressure compared to previous years

For sellers, however, increasing inventory means more competition and emphasizes the importance of proper pricing, staging, and marketing.

Average Asking Price

🏷️ Sellers Continue to See Strong Pricing

The average asking price in May reached $533,000, up 2.58% from May 2025. Sellers remain confident in the market and continue to price homes competitively while still achieving strong results.

The year-to-date average asking price now sits at $529,000, representing a 3.64% increase compared to last year.

This ongoing growth in asking prices demonstrates confidence among homeowners while also reflecting the strength of demand in the marketplace.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity Accelerates

Sherwood Park recorded 167 residential property sales in May 2026, representing a substantial 14.38% increase over May 2025. This marks one of the strongest monthly sales performances we've seen so far this year and highlights the continued appeal of the community to buyers.

Year-to-date, sales have reached 596 homes, up 4.93% from the same period last year. This increase demonstrates that buyer confidence remains strong despite higher home prices and ongoing affordability concerns in some segments of the market.

The continued rise in sales activity suggests that many buyers who may have delayed purchasing decisions earlier in the year are now entering the market as inventory improves and confidence grows.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price Reaches $539,000

Home values in Sherwood Park continued their upward trajectory in May, with the average sale price climbing to $539,000, a 1.72% increase compared to May 2025. While price growth has moderated compared to some of the larger gains seen over the past two years, the market continues to demonstrate healthy appreciation.

Year-to-date, the average sale price now stands at $525,000, up 3.29% compared to 2025. This consistent growth reflects the ongoing demand for homes in Sherwood Park and reinforces the community's reputation as a stable long-term investment.

The monthly sales price chart included in the report continues to show a generally upward trend throughout the past year, with only minor seasonal fluctuations. This is encouraging news for homeowners and investors alike.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows a More Balanced Market

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 1.003 in May, meaning homes sold for approximately 100.3% of their asking price. While this remains an excellent result for sellers, it is slightly lower than the 1.015 ratio recorded in May 2025.

Year-to-date, the ask-to-sell ratio sits at 1.002, compared to 1.015 last year.

This suggests:

• Buyers have slightly more negotiating power
• Sellers need to be strategic with pricing
• Well-priced homes still attract strong offers

Overall, the market remains healthy but is becoming more balanced than it was during peak seller-market conditions.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Increase

Homes in Sherwood Park spent an average of 29 days on market before selling, compared to 23 days during May 2025. This represents a 26.09% increase year-over-year.

While homes are taking longer to sell than they were during some of the hottest market conditions, 29 days remains a relatively healthy selling timeframe.

The year-to-date average now sits at 35 days, compared to 31 days in 2025.

This increase reflects:

• More inventory available
• Buyers taking more time to compare options
• A market gradually moving toward balance

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

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers entering the Sherwood Park market this spring and summer are seeing improved opportunities.

Advantages include:

✅ More inventory to choose from
✅ Less urgency compared to previous years
✅ More balanced negotiating conditions

However:

⚠️ Prices continue to rise
⚠️ Popular neighbourhoods remain competitive
⚠️ Desirable homes still move quickly

Buyers should remain prepared with financing pre-approval and work closely with a local REALTOR® to identify opportunities as they arise.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers continue to enjoy favourable market conditions.

Positive indicators include:

✅ Rising sale prices
✅ Strong sales activity
✅ Homes still selling at or above asking price

However:

⚠️ Inventory is increasing
⚠️ Competition is growing
⚠️ Pricing strategy is becoming increasingly important

The homes that continue to perform best are those that are professionally marketed, priced accurately, and presented well.

📍 Sherwood Park Neighbourhoods Remain in Demand

Several Sherwood Park communities continue to attract strong buyer interest:

Lakeland Ridge

A favourite among families thanks to excellent schools, parks, and community amenities.

Emerald Hills

Popular for newer construction, shopping access, and convenient commuting routes.

Summerwood

An attractive option for first-time buyers and young families seeking affordability and accessibility.

Heritage Hills

Offers larger lots, mature landscaping, and a well-established community feel.

🔮 Sherwood Park Market Outlook – Summer 2026

Looking ahead, the market appears poised for continued stability through the summer months.

Key trends to watch include:

• Continued inventory growth
• Steady price appreciation
• Increased buyer activity
• Balanced negotiating conditions

If inventory growth continues to outpace sales growth, buyers may gain additional leverage later in the year. However, strong demand fundamentals should continue to support property values throughout 2026.

Rural Sturgeon County Real Estate Market Update: May 2026 Statistics

The Rural Sturgeon County acreage market continued its steady momentum through May 2026, with sales activity increasing, prices remaining resilient, and inventory levels staying relatively tight. As buyers continue to seek larger properties, acreage homes, hobby farms, and estate-style living within commuting distance of Edmonton, Rural Sturgeon County remains one of the region's most desirable country residential markets.

May's statistics reveal a market that is balancing healthy demand with limited inventory, creating favourable conditions for sellers while still offering opportunities for buyers who are prepared and informed.

Let's take a closer look at what happened in the May 2026 Rural Sturgeon County real estate market.

Rural Sturgeon County New  MLS® Listings

🏷️ New Listings Remain Below Last Year's Levels

There were 46 new listings introduced to the market in May 2026, down slightly from the same period last year.

Year-to-Date New Listings

Inventory remains one of the defining themes of the 2026 market. While buyers have more options than they did during the extremely tight inventory conditions of previous years, listings remain below historical norms.

Why Inventory Matters

Lower inventory creates:

• Less competition among sellers
• More competition among buyers
• Continued support for property values
• Faster absorption of well-priced listings

The shortage of new inventory is helping to support the overall health of the market.

Average List Price

💰 Average Asking Price Shows Strategic Pricing

The average asking price declined to $898,000, a 9.95% decrease compared to May 2025.

At first glance, this might appear concerning, but it actually suggests sellers are becoming more strategic with pricing.

Year-to-Date Average Asking Price

This modest year-to-date adjustment indicates that sellers are adapting to market conditions and pricing more competitively.

What We're Seeing

Many sellers recognize that today's buyers are educated and comparison shopping. Competitive pricing often generates more showings, stronger offers, and quicker sales.

Rural Sturgeon County Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Continues to Improve

May saw 26 properties sold, representing a 4.00% increase over May 2025. This marks another month of positive sales growth and demonstrates continued demand for acreage properties throughout the county.

Year-to-Date Sales

The year-to-date increase of nearly 13% suggests buyers remain committed to acreage living despite ongoing economic uncertainty and fluctuating interest rates.

What This Means

For sellers, the increase in sales demonstrates that properly priced properties continue to attract attention. For buyers, it highlights the importance of being ready to act quickly when desirable properties become available.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price Climbs Higher

While list prices softened, actual sale prices moved in the opposite direction.

The average sale price reached $946,000, a 7.13% increase from May 2025.

Year-to-Date Average Sale Price

This is one of the most encouraging statistics in the report.

Why Prices Are Increasing

Several factors are helping support values:

• Limited inventory
• Strong buyer demand
• Continued migration into the Edmonton region
• High replacement costs for new construction
• Growing demand for acreage living

The fact that sale prices are increasing despite slightly lower asking prices suggests buyers are competing aggressively for desirable properties.

📊 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Near Perfection

One of the strongest indicators in the May report is the average ask-to-sell ratio of 99.3%.

This means sellers are receiving virtually their full asking price.

Year-to-Date Ask-to-Sell Ratio

A ratio this high demonstrates that buyers recognize value when they see it and are willing to pay close to list price for well-presented properties.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Increase

Homes sold in an average of 43 days, compared to 23 days in May 2025, representing an increase of 86.96%.

While this sounds dramatic, context matters.

Year-to-Date Days on Market

The increase suggests buyers are taking slightly more time to evaluate acreage purchases.

Why Buyers Are Taking Longer

Acreage purchases often involve:

• Well and septic inspections
• Land use considerations
• Outbuilding evaluations
• Financing complexity
• Larger purchase prices

These factors naturally lengthen decision-making timelines.

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

🔮 Outlook for Summer 2026

As we head into the busiest months of the acreage market, Rural Sturgeon County appears well positioned for a strong summer season.

Key trends to watch:

✔ Sales activity remains ahead of last year
✔ Inventory remains relatively tight
✔ Sale prices continue to increase
✔ Sellers are achieving nearly full asking price
✔ Buyer demand remains healthy

If inventory remains constrained throughout the summer, we could continue to see upward pressure on prices.

💡 Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Lac Ste. Anne County Real Estate Market Update: May 2026 Statistics

The Rural Lac Ste. Anne County real estate market continued to show resilience throughout May 2026, with rising property values, faster sales, and strong seller performance despite lower overall sales activity compared to last year. As buyers continue searching for acreage properties, recreational retreats, and rural homes within commuting distance of Edmonton, the market remains active and competitive.

While total sales and inventory levels remain below 2025 levels year-to-date, the continued increase in both asking and selling prices suggests that demand for rural properties remains strong. Combined with shorter selling times and homes selling closer to asking price, the market continues to favour well-prepared sellers heading into the busy summer season.

Let's dive into the numbers and see what happened in the Lac Ste. Anne County real estate market during May 2026.

📊 May 2026 Market Snapshot

Lac Ste Anne New  MLS® Listings

🏷️ New Listings Increase, But Inventory Remains Tight

A bright spot for buyers this month was the increase in new listings.

In May 2026:

• 80 new listings entered the market
• ↑ 11.11% compared to May 2025

However, looking at the broader picture:

• 2026 YTD listings: 225
• 2025 YTD listings: 264
• Change: ↓ 14.77%

While May saw an encouraging increase in new inventory, overall listing levels remain well below last year's pace.

If inventory remains constrained through the summer months, buyers may continue facing increased competition for desirable properties.

Average List Price

📈 Sellers Showing Strong Confidence

The average asking price in May 2026 climbed to $549,000, representing a significant 27.48% increase compared to May 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD average asking price: $525,000
• 2025 YTD average asking price: $464,000
• Change: ↑ 13.05%

This substantial increase demonstrates growing confidence among sellers and reflects the continued appreciation seen throughout the rural market.

Many sellers are entering the market with higher expectations, supported by strong demand and reduced inventory levels.

Lac Ste Anne Home Sales

📉 Sales Activity Remains Below Last Year's Pace

In May 2026, 31 properties sold in Rural Lac Ste. Anne County, representing an 8.82% decrease compared to May 2025. Despite the decline, sales activity remains healthy for a rural market and demonstrates continued buyer interest in the region.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD sales: 106 properties
• 2025 YTD sales: 123 properties
• Change: ↓ 13.82%

Although fewer homes have sold so far this year, lower inventory levels continue to play a significant role. Buyers remain active, but there are simply fewer properties available for purchase.

Average Sale Price

💰 Home Prices Continue to Climb

One of the strongest indicators in the May report is continued price appreciation.

The average sale price in May 2026 reached $448,000, an increase of 2.68% compared to May 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD average sale price: $483,000
• 2025 YTD average sale price: $459,000
• Change: ↑ 5.29%

This marks another month of positive price growth and reinforces the long-term demand for rural properties throughout Lac Ste. Anne County.

For sellers, this is excellent news. Property values continue to rise despite fewer overall sales, indicating buyers are willing to pay more for desirable acreages and country homes.

🤝 Buyers Continue Paying Close to Asking Price

The average ask-to-sell ratio in May 2026 was 97.9%, virtually unchanged from last year but still an excellent indicator of market strength.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 97.9%
• 2025 YTD Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 97.0%
• Change: ↑ 0.97%

This means sellers are receiving very close to their asking price on average, while buyers have less room to negotiate than they did a year ago.

Combined with improving days on market and rising sale prices, this points toward a balanced market that is leaning increasingly in favour of sellers.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Homes Are Selling Faster

One of the most positive indicators for sellers is the continued reduction in days on market.

The average days on market in May 2026 was just 55 days, representing a 36.78% improvement compared to May 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD DOM: 83 days
• 2025 YTD DOM: 117 days
• Change: ↓ 29.06%

This substantial improvement suggests that properly priced homes are attracting strong interest and moving quickly.

For buyers, this means being prepared and ready to act when the right property becomes available.

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

• Inventory remains lower than last year.
• Homes are selling faster.
• Prices continue to rise.

With faster sales, rising prices, and limited supply, the Rural Lac Ste. Anne County market remains one of the stronger rural markets surrounding Edmonton.
