March brought 1,430 new listings, almost identical to last year (▼0.76%) .

Year-to-date, the average list price is $638,000, up 2.61% from last year.

📊 Edmonton Housing Market Snapshot – March 2026
March marks the true beginning of the spring real estate market in Edmonton — and 2026 is shaping up to be a very interesting year.
Here are the key stats from the March report:
At first glance, sales are down — but prices and listings tell a much deeper story.
🏗️ New Construction Market – March 2026
New construction continues to play a major role in Edmonton’s housing market — and March numbers show just how significant that segment is becoming.
There were 173 new construction homes listed, with an average days on market of 61 days and a median of 49 days.
💰 Pricing Breakdown
The spread between list and sale price shows that builders are still pricing aggressively, but buyers are negotiating slightly — consistent with the broader market trend.
📊 Market Range
This wide range highlights the diversity of Edmonton’s new construction market — from entry-level homes to luxury builds.
🧠 What This Means for Buyers (New Construction)
Buyers looking at new builds right now have a unique opportunity:
✔️ More inventory than last year
✔️ Builder incentives (quietly happening)
✔️ Less competition than peak 2024
But pricing is still rising — especially in:
🏗️ What This Means for Sellers & Builders
Builders are still moving product — but:
For resale sellers, this means:
👉 You are now competing with brand new homes + incentives
Positioning your home correctly is critical.
Below Graphs Are Interactive.
📈 New Listings: Spring Inventory Builds
March brought 2,800 new listings to the Edmonton market.
That’s essentially flat year-over-year (↓ 0.60%) — but still a strong increase from winter months.
Year-to-date listings are up 4.15%, sitting at 6,930 listings.
This means:
This is a key shift from the ultra-tight inventory conditions of 2024 and early 2025.
🏷️ Average Asking Price: Strong Seller Confidence
The average list price jumped to $499,000, a 6.11% increase year-over-year .
This is one of the most notable stats in the report.
It tells us:
However — and this is important — higher asking prices must still align with market reality.
Overpriced homes are taking longer to sell (as we’ll see next).
🏡 Home Sales: Spring Activity Starts, But Still Behind 2025
In March 2026, 1,430 homes sold in Edmonton, representing an 18.38% decrease compared to March 2025 .
This continues the trend we saw in January and February — lower transaction volume year-over-year.
However, context matters.
The 2025 market experienced unusually strong early-year activity, driven by:
What we’re seeing in 2026 is a more measured, normalized pace.
Buyers are still active — they’re just more selective.
💰 Average Sale Price: Steady and Stable Growth
The average sale price in March reached $446,000, a 0.64% increase from March 2025 .
While this increase is modest, it reinforces a key theme:
👉 Prices are holding — not dropping
Even with fewer sales:
Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $441,000, up 2.21% from 2025.
📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Returns
The ask-to-sell ratio in March was 0.982, down from last year .
That means homes are selling at 98.2% of asking price, compared to closer to 99%+ in previous years.
This confirms:
Gone are the days of automatic full-price offers across the board.
⏳ Days on Market: A Major Shift
The average days on market dropped to 65 days in March, which is actually a big improvement from January and February — but still 35.42% higher than March 2025 .
Year-to-date DOM now sits at 76 days vs 56 days last year.
This is one of the clearest indicators of a shifting market.
Homes are:
But again — this is not a bad thing.
It’s a move toward a more balanced, sustainable market.
📊 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)
Here’s your clean YTD chart for January–March:
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |

| Days on Market | 76 | 56 | ↑ 35.71% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.978 | 0.993 | ↓ 1.50% |
🔍 What This Means for Buyers
If you’re buying in Edmonton right now:
✅ More listings = more choice
✅ Less competition than last year
✅ More room to negotiate
✅ Less pressure to rush
But…
Prices are still rising.
That means:
👉 Waiting may cost you more long-term than negotiating today.
This is a strategic buyer’s market window.
🏠 What This Means for Sellers
If you're selling in Spring 2026:
Success today requires:
✔️ Accurate pricing
✔️ Professional marketing
✔️ Strong first impressions
✔️ Quick response to market feedback
Homes that are priced right are still selling — just not instantly.
📈 Market Trend: Edmonton Is Rebalancing
Across all three months of 2026, a clear pattern is emerging:
| Trend | Direction |
| Sales Volume | ↓ Down |
| Prices | ↑ Up |
| Listings | ↑ Up |
| Days on Market | ↑ Up |
| Negotiation | ↑ Increasing |
This combination = market normalization
Not a crash. Not a slowdown.

Edmonton remains supported by:
🎯 Final Thoughts
March 2026 confirms what we’ve been seeing all year:
👉 Edmonton is shifting into a balanced market.

Inventory is rising — but not overwhelming.
Buyers have options — but demand still exists.
This is a healthier market than the past few years.
And for many clients — it’s actually a better time to make a move.

As we move into spring, the Spruce Grove real estate market is beginning to show increased activity—but with a noticeable shift in pricing and buyer behaviour compared to last year. March 2026 reflects a market that is more balanced and price-sensitive, with higher inventory, longer days on market, and some softening in sale prices.
If you’re planning to buy or sell this spring, understanding these trends will help you position yourself strategically in today’s evolving market.
📊 March 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the March 2026 Local Market Update :
Year-to-date (January–March 2026):
New construction activity in Spruce Grove remained steady in March 2026, with a total of 38 new build properties listed. These homes showed a wide price range, with list prices spanning from $319,998 to $799,000, and an average asking price of $480,469 with a median of $454,999. On the sales side, new construction homes performed consistently, with an average sale price of $479,357 and a median of $445,146, indicating that builders are pricing very close to market value and buyers are responding accordingly.
One of the more notable trends in the new construction segment is the average days on market of 75 days, with some homes selling as quickly as 11 days and others taking up to 236 days to sell. This spread highlights the importance of product type, location, and pricing strategy when it comes to new builds. Well-priced homes in desirable communities are still moving relatively quickly, while others may sit longer as buyers weigh options and compare builder offerings.
Overall, the total sales volume of $18.2M in new construction transactions shows that demand is still present in this segment, even as the broader resale market experiences longer selling timelines. For buyers, new construction continues to offer strong value, customization opportunities, and modern layouts. For sellers and builders, it reinforces the importance of competitive pricing and strategic positioning in a more balanced market environment.

📦 New Listings: Inventory Builds for Spring Market
The spring market is clearly underway, with 155 new listings in March, an 8.39% increase year-over-year .
Year-to-date, 394 homes have been listed, up slightly by 1.81%.
This increase in listings is one of the biggest storylines of 2026 so far. Buyers now have more choice than they’ve had in recent years, which is contributing to longer days on market and more negotiation.
For sellers, this means:
👉 You’re no longer just competing on price—you’re competing on presentation, marketing, and strategy.
💰 Average Asking Price: Sellers Adjusting Expectations
The average asking price in March 2026 was $497,000, down 2.35% from last year .
Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $503,000, a 2.14% decrease compared to 2025.
This reflects a subtle but important shift:
This is a healthier market dynamic overall, even if it feels like a slowdown.
🏠 Sales Activity: Spring Picks Up, But Still Behind 2025
March saw 100 homes sold in Spruce Grove, which is a solid increase from earlier months this year—but still 11.50% lower than March 2025 .
Year-to-date, 224 homes have sold, down 13.51% from 259 sales in early 2025.
This tells us that while the spring market is starting to gain momentum, buyers are still moving more cautiously than they were last year. Higher inventory levels and more time to make decisions are reducing urgency.
📉 Average Sale Price: Temporary Softening
The average sale price dropped to $455,000 in March, a 6.56% decrease compared to March 2025 .
Year-to-date, the average sale price is $471,000, down 2.18% from last year.
This is one of the first clear signals of price softening we’ve seen this year.
However, context is important:
⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Balanced Market Conditions
The ask-to-sell ratio is 0.992, meaning homes are selling for about 99.2% of their asking price .
This is slightly lower than last year, and year-to-date sits at 0.989 vs 1.002 in 2025.
This confirms that:
👉 Negotiation is back
👉 Buyers have more leverage
👉 Multiple-offer scenarios are less common
⏳ Days on Market: Buyers Taking Control
Homes are now taking 62 days to sell in March, a massive 58.97% increase from last year .
Year-to-date, homes are taking 73 days on average, compared to 55 days in 2025 — a 32.73% increase.
This is one of the most important metrics in this report.
It tells us:
For sellers, this reinforces the importance of:
✔ Accurate pricing
✔ Strong marketing
✔ Professional presentation
📊 YTD Comparison – 2026 vs 2025

🔹 New Listings Increase as Spring Inventory Builds
March brought 60 new listings, an increase of 9.09% compared to last year.
Year-to-date, listings are sitting at 146 — exactly the same as 2025, indicating that supply is beginning to stabilize after a slower winter.
This increase in listings is a clear sign that the spring market is starting to take shape, giving buyers more options while also increasing competition among sellers.
🔹 Asking Prices Remain Stable with Modest Growth
The average asking price in March was $417,000, a 1.62% increase compared to last year.
Year-to-date, asking prices have climbed to $439,000, up 4.20% from 2025.
This moderate growth suggests that sellers are pricing their homes more strategically, aligning expectations with market conditions rather than overreaching — a key factor in maintaining steady sales.
🔹 Sales Activity Rebounds from Winter Slowdown
A total of 41 homes sold in March 2026, representing a modest 6.82% decrease from March 2025.
However, this number reflects a strong rebound from the slower winter months and signals that buyers are returning to the market.
Year-to-date, 89 homes have sold, compared to 113 at this time last year, a 21.24% decrease. While this gap is still notable, it is beginning to narrow as the spring market approaches.
🔹 Average Sale Price Surges Over 25%
The most significant highlight in March is the average sale price, which climbed to $473,000, representing a 25.09% increase year-over-year.
This is one of the strongest price increases we’ve seen so far in 2026 and signals that demand remains strong — especially for well-priced, move-in-ready homes.
On a year-to-date basis, the average sale price is now $435,000, up 15.17% from 2025, reinforcing that home values in Stony Plain continue to rise steadily.
🔹 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Strong
The average ask-to-sell ratio in March was 98.4%, indicating that homes are still selling very close to their asking price.
Year-to-date, the ratio remains solid at 98.4%, though slightly below last year’s 99.3%.
This tells us that while buyers have gained a bit more negotiating power, well-priced homes are still commanding strong offers.
🔹 Days on Market Increase as Buyers Take More Time
Homes in March took an average of 59 days to sell, a 37.21% increase compared to last year.
Year-to-date, the average sits at 68 days, up from 52 days in 2025.

The Leduc real estate market is gaining momentum as we move into spring 2026, with a noticeable surge in sales activity and a continued increase in available inventory. March is typically the beginning of the busiest time of year in real estate, and this year is proving no different.
With more homes hitting the market and buyer activity increasing significantly compared to earlier months, Leduc is transitioning into a more active — yet balanced — real estate environment. While prices have softened slightly in the short term, the overall market remains stable, and long-term trends continue to support steady property values.
Let’s break down exactly what’s happening in the Leduc housing market and what it means for buyers and sellers right now.
📊 Key Leduc Real Estate Statistics | March 2026
New construction continues to play a significant role in the Leduc real estate market, with 19 new build homes sold in March. These homes are commanding notably higher price points compared to the overall market, with an average list price of $568,631 and an average sold price of $562,906. The median sold price of $530,000 further highlights the strong demand for newer, modern homes in the area. New builds ranged from $372,218 to $825,000, offering options for both entry-level buyers and those seeking more premium properties. Homes are also selling relatively efficiently, with an average of 48 days on market and a median of just 41 days — faster than the broader resale market. In total, new construction accounted for over $10.6 million in sales volume, reinforcing its impact on overall pricing trends in Leduc. This data clearly shows that buyers are willing to pay a premium for newer homes, energy-efficient features, and modern layouts.
When we separate new construction from resale homes, it becomes clear that new builds are helping push Leduc’s overall average prices higher. This is an important distinction for both buyers and sellers, as resale pricing trends can look very different when analyzed independently.

🆕 New Listings Continue to Climb
One of the biggest shifts in the Leduc market is inventory.
In March, 128 new listings hit the market, representing a 48.84% increase compared to March 2025.
Year-to-date, 328 homes have been listed, which is a 51.85% increase over last year.
This is a major shift.
More inventory means:
This is one of the most important trends to watch heading into spring.
📌 Average Asking Price
The average asking price in March was $487,000, representing a slight 0.47% decrease year-over-year.
However, when we zoom out, the year-to-date average asking price is $497,000, up 1.18% compared to 2025.
This shows that while sellers are adjusting expectations slightly in the short term, overall pricing confidence remains steady. Sellers are becoming more strategic — aligning their pricing with current market conditions rather than pushing aggressive price increases.
🏠 Sales Activity Surges in March
March saw a strong rebound in sales activity across Leduc, with 84 homes sold, representing a 42.37% increase compared to March 2025.
This sharp increase signals that buyers are returning to the market as spring begins. Warmer weather, improved selection, and renewed confidence are all contributing factors.
Year-to-date, 180 homes have sold in Leduc, which is a 5.26% increase compared to 2025, showing that the market has regained momentum after a slower start to the year.
This is a strong indicator that the Leduc real estate market is heating up heading into the peak buying season.
💵 Average Sale Price: Short-Term Dip, Long-Term Stability
The average sale price in March 2026 was $439,000, representing a 9.16% decrease compared to March 2025.
At first glance, this may appear concerning — but context is key.
Looking at the year-to-date data, the average sale price sits at $445,000, which is only a 1.74% decrease compared to last year.
This suggests that:
For buyers, this creates a potential opportunity to enter the market at slightly lower price points before values potentially rise again later in the year.
📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio
The ask-to-sell ratio in March was 0.988, meaning homes sold for 98.8% of asking price.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.984, slightly down from last year.
This tells us:
⏳ Days on Market: Still Elevated
Homes in Leduc took an average of 61 days to sell in March, up 27.08% compared to last year.
Year-to-date, the average sits at 71 days, compared to 54 days in 2025, representing a 31.48% increase.
This reflects:
For sellers, this means patience and strategy are key. Homes are still selling — just not as quickly as they were during peak seller conditions.

🧠 What This Means for the Spring 2026 Market in Leduc
March confirms what we started to see in January and February — inventory is rising quickly, and the market is shifting toward more balanced conditions.
With over 50% more listings year-to-date, buyers will have significantly more options heading into April and May. This reduces pressure and creates a more thoughtful buying environment compared to the fast-paced conditions of early 2025.
At the same time, sales activity is increasing, which shows that demand has not disappeared — it has simply adjusted.
If current trends continue:
This is shaping up to be one of the healthiest spring markets we’ve seen in recent years.
🏘️ What This Means for Buyers
This is a strategic time to buy before peak spring competition ramps up.
💼 What This Means for Sellers
📍 Leduc Continues to Attract Buyers

The acreage market in Rural Strathcona County continued to show interesting trends in February 2026. While the number of transactions remained relatively low compared to last year, pricing strength and new inventory entering the market signal continued confidence in rural real estate around Edmonton.
For buyers and sellers looking at acreage properties near Sherwood Park, Ardrossan, and the surrounding rural communities, these latest statistics provide important insight into how the market is evolving as we head toward the busy spring season.
Below is a full breakdown of February’s numbers and what they mean for anyone considering buying or selling acreage real estate in Strathcona County.
February 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the latest REALTORS® Association of Edmonton statistics, the rural Strathcona County acreage market recorded the following activity in February 2026:
These figures paint a picture of a market where pricing remains extremely strong, even though the number of sales remains lower than the same time last year.
Bar graphs below are interactive
New Listings: Inventory Begins to Build
February saw 16 new acreage listings, representing a 33.33% increase compared to February 2025.
This is a key signal that the spring market is beginning to take shape.
Across the first two months of the year, 42 new listings have entered the market, slightly higher than the 41 listings recorded during the same period last year.
This modest increase in inventory provides buyers with additional options and may help stabilize pricing as we move into the busier buying season.
For sellers, it also means competition will gradually increase as more properties hit the market in March and April.
Asking Prices Continue to Rise
The average asking price in February 2026 was $1.14 million, representing a 15.74% increase year-over-year.
Higher list prices typically reflect seller confidence, and the acreage market in Strathcona County has shown strong long-term appreciation over the past few years.
Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $1.12 million, up 6.45% from the $1.05 million average recorded at this time in 2025.
For sellers, this indicates that pricing power remains strong heading into the spring market.
Sales Activity: Fewer Transactions, But Not Unusual for Early Year
In February 2026, 8 acreage properties sold, representing a 52.94% decrease from February 2025.
At first glance, that drop may appear dramatic, but it’s important to consider the context:
When we look at year-to-date sales, the report shows 14 properties sold in 2026 compared to 38 during the same period in 2025, a decrease of 63.16%.
This slower start does not necessarily indicate a weak market. Instead, it reflects the typical early-year pause before the spring market gains momentum.
Average Sale Price: Significant Year-Over-Year Growth
One of the most notable highlights in February’s report is the average sale price, which reached $1.19 million.
This represents a 55.84% increase compared to February 2025.
This substantial jump suggests several possibilities:
The year-to-date average sale price has also risen significantly, sitting at $1.11 million compared to $840,000 last year, an increase of 32.57%.
This data reinforces a major trend in the rural market: buyers are willing to pay premium prices for desirable acreage properties, especially those close to Edmonton or Sherwood Park.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Homes Selling Close to Asking Price
February’s average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.982, meaning homes sold for approximately 98.2% of their asking price.
While this represents a slight decrease compared to last year, it still indicates a strong market.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.987 compared to 0.981 in 2025, reflecting a small improvement in seller negotiating power.
This tells us that buyers remain willing to pay close to list price when the property meets their expectations.
Days on Market: Longer Timelines for Rural Homes
The average days on market in February was 81 days, which is 47.27% longer than February 2025.
Acreage properties naturally take longer to sell compared to homes within the city because:
However, the year-to-date average days on market has actually improved, dropping to 95 days compared to 123 days last year, a decrease of 22.76%.
This suggests that properly priced properties are still selling faster overall, even though individual monthly fluctuations occur.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 14 | 38 | ↓ 63.16% |
| Average Sale Price | $1.11M | $840K | ↑ 32.57% |
| Average Asking Price | $1.12M | $1.05M | ↑ 6.45% |
| New Listings | 42 | 41 | ↑ 2.44% |
| Average Days on Market | 95 | 123 | ↓ 22.76% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.987 | 0.981 | ↑ 0.56% |
Prices are significantly higher in 2026, with the average sale price up 32.57% year-to-date.
Inventory is almost identical to last year, with only a slight increase in new listings.
Homes are selling faster overall, with average days on market down 22.76%.
Negotiation margins remain tight, with homes selling very close to list price.
What This Means for Buyers
If you're considering purchasing an acreage in Strathcona County, here are the key takeaways from February’s statistics:
With average prices exceeding $1 million, acreage buyers are typically making long-term lifestyle decisions rather than short-term investments.
What This Means for Sellers
For acreage owners thinking about selling in 2026, the February data is encouraging.
Key opportunities include:
However, sellers should also be mindful that more listings will likely enter the market in the coming months. Preparing early and listing strategically can help capture buyer attention before the spring surge.
Rural Strathcona County: A Desirable Acreage Market
Strathcona County remains one of the most desirable acreage markets in the Edmonton region for several reasons:
Buyers looking for acreage properties in areas such as Ardrossan, Antler Lake, South Cooking Lake, and Ardrossan Estates continue to drive demand.
Looking Ahead to the Spring 2026 Market
Historically, the acreage market begins to accelerate in March and April, and February’s increase in listings suggests that activity is already building.
Several factors may influence the market moving forward:
If these conditions continue, spring 2026 could see strong acreage demand across Strathcona County.
Final Thoughts
While February 2026 recorded fewer sales than the same period last year, the overall market remains healthy.
Prices have increased significantly, new listings are beginning to rise, and homes continue to sell close to their asking price.
For buyers and sellers alike, the coming months will likely bring increased activity as the spring real estate season begins.

The Beaumont real estate market continued to evolve in February 2026 as inventory levels climbed and buyers remained active heading toward the spring market. While some pricing indicators softened compared to last year, the overall activity level increased, signalling a market that remains balanced but competitive.
For buyers and sellers watching the Beaumont market closely, February delivered a combination of strong listing growth, stable sales activity, and moderate price adjustments. These trends suggest that the spring market could bring increased competition and opportunity depending on how inventory and interest rates evolve.
Let’s take a detailed look at the numbers and what they mean for the Beaumont housing market in early 2026.
📊 Beaumont February 2026 Market Summary
| Metric | February 2026 | February 2025 | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 27 | 27 | 0.00% |
| New Listings | 65 | 48 | +35.42% |
| Average Asking Price | $633,000 | $592,000 | +6.93% |

🏘️ Listing Inventory Surges
One of the most notable shifts in February was the sharp increase in new listings. A total of 65 homes were listed for sale, up 35.42% from February 2025.
This surge indicates that sellers are preparing for the spring market earlier than usual. Many homeowners who may have delayed listing in late 2025 appear to be entering the market now.
Higher inventory levels typically mean:
This is particularly relevant in Beaumont, where new construction communities and resale homes often compete directly.
💰 Asking Prices Continue to Rise
The average asking price climbed to $633,000, representing a 6.93% increase year-over-year.
This rise in listing prices reflects continued confidence among sellers despite fluctuations in sale prices. Many sellers are positioning their homes for the expected spring demand surge.
However, the gap between asking prices and sale prices suggests buyers remain cautious.
📈 Sales Activity Holds Steady
Beaumont recorded 27 home sales in February 2026, exactly matching the number of sales recorded in February 2025.
While the monthly number remained unchanged, the year-to-date sales total increased to 48 homes, compared to 43 during the same period last year. That represents an 11.63% increase in overall sales activity to start the year.
This suggests that buyers are entering the market slightly earlier in 2026 than they did the previous year. Early-year activity is often a good indicator of spring momentum, and Beaumont appears to be building toward a more active March and April.
📉 Average Sale Price Declines
While asking prices rose, the average sale price fell to $505,000, down 9.23% from February 2025.
This divergence between list prices and actual sale prices suggests that buyers are negotiating more aggressively or choosing more affordable homes.
There are several possible explanations for this trend:
Although prices declined year-over-year for the month, the broader market still appears stable rather than declining sharply.
📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Declines Slightly
The average ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 0.982, meaning homes sold for approximately 98.2% of their asking price.
This represents a 1.27% decrease from last year.
While the drop is small, it reflects a market where buyers are negotiating slightly more than they were previously.
Negotiations, inspection conditions, and price adjustments are becoming more common as inventory grows.
⏳ Days on Market Increase
Homes in Beaumont took an average of 87 days to sell in February, up 35.94% from last year.
Longer days on market indicate that buyers are taking more time to make decisions. With more inventory available, buyers can compare properties more carefully rather than rushing to make offers.
For sellers, this means that presentation and pricing strategy are more important than ever.
Homes that show well and are priced correctly still tend to attract offers faster than average.
📅 Year-to-Date Market Comparison
Looking at the year-to-date numbers provides additional insight into how the Beaumont market is trending in 2026.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 48 | 43 | +11.63% |
| New Listings | 129 | 94 | +37.23% |
| Average Asking Price | $609,000 | $596,000 | +2.06% |
| Average Sale Price | $511,000 | $532,000 | -3.92% |
| Days on Market | 87 | 70 | +24.29% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 98.1% | 99.0% | -0.98% |
These figures show that inventory growth is the dominant trend in Beaumont’s market so far in 2026.
🧠 What This Means for Buyers
For buyers, the Beaumont market currently offers several advantages.
More listings mean greater choice, allowing buyers to compare neighbourhoods, property styles, and price points before committing.
Negotiation opportunities have also increased slightly. With homes selling at roughly 98% of list price on average, buyers may be able to secure better value than they could during tighter markets.
Buyers who are financially prepared and pre-approved may find excellent opportunities before competition increases in the spring.
💼 What This Means for Sellers
For sellers, February’s numbers highlight the importance of preparation and strategy.
The increase in listing inventory means homes will face more competition in the coming months. Sellers who price aggressively or invest in staging and marketing will stand out.
Although sale prices declined compared to last year, well-priced homes are still selling. Sellers should focus on realistic pricing rather than chasing last year’s peak values.
The good news is that sales activity is still strong, suggesting buyers remain active.
🔮 Spring 2026 Market Outlook
Looking ahead, Beaumont’s market appears poised for a busy spring season.
Inventory is already rising, and if buyer demand continues to grow, the market could move toward a more balanced environment.
Several factors may influence the spring market:
If these trends continue, the Beaumont housing market could see increased competition through March, April, and May.

The Sherwood Park real estate market continued to evolve in February 2026 as the early spring market began to take shape. While overall sales dipped slightly compared to the same month last year, the year-to-date numbers show positive growth in sales activity, and pricing levels remain relatively stable across the market.
Sherwood Park continues to be one of the most desirable suburban communities near Edmonton, known for its excellent schools, family-friendly neighbourhoods, and convenient access to major employment centres. These factors continue to support long-term housing demand in the area.
This month’s report provides a detailed look at home sales, pricing trends, inventory levels, and market conditions to help buyers and sellers better understand what is happening in the Sherwood Park housing market.
Key Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – February 2026

| New Listings | 114 | 124 | -8.06% |
| Days on Market | 44 | 32 | +37.50% |

Interactive bar graphs
Inventory levels declined slightly in February, with 114 new listings entering the market, representing an 8.06% decrease compared with February 2025.
Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has seen 209 new listings, which is 7.11% lower than the same period last year.
Lower inventory can create a tighter market environment if buyer demand continues to rise. If listing activity remains low heading into spring, Sherwood Park could experience increased competition among buyers later in the year.
The average asking price for homes in Sherwood Park during February was $525,000, which represents a 5.36% increase over February 2025.
This increase suggests that sellers remain confident about the value of their properties. Rising asking prices also indicate that homeowners are responding to the strong market conditions experienced throughout much of 2025.
On a year-to-date basis, the average asking price has reached $535,000, up 5.68% compared with the same period last year.
This continued growth in list prices highlights the overall strength of the Sherwood Park housing market.
Sherwood Park recorded 84 residential property sales in February 2026, representing a 4.55% decrease compared to February 2025. While the monthly figure shows a small dip, the year-to-date trend is more encouraging.
So far in 2026, 145 homes have sold, which is a 2.11% increase over the same period in 2025. This indicates that the market is still seeing steady buyer demand despite the typical seasonal slowdown that often occurs early in the year.
It is also worth noting that February sales often begin to build momentum as buyers start preparing for the spring market. If this trend continues, Sherwood Park could see stronger sales numbers heading into March and April.
The average sale price in Sherwood Park during February 2026 was $515,000, representing a 3.04% decrease compared with February 2025. While this decline may seem notable at first glance, it is relatively small when viewed in the broader context of long-term market performance.
Looking at the year-to-date numbers, the average sale price currently sits at $505,000, only 0.49% lower than the same period last year. This suggests that prices are holding relatively stable, despite minor fluctuations from month to month.
The sales price chart on the report shows that Sherwood Park has experienced consistent price growth over the past several years, with only occasional short-term adjustments.
For homeowners, this stability continues to reinforce Sherwood Park as a strong long-term investment market.
Average Ask to Sell Ratio
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 1.004, meaning that homes sold for approximately 100.4% of their list price.
This indicates that many homes are still selling very close to — or slightly above — their asking price.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.995, which suggests that sellers are still achieving near-list-price sales, though buyers may have slightly more negotiating power than they did during the strongest seller markets of previous years.
Homes in Sherwood Park took an average of 44 days to sell in February, which represents a 37.5% increase compared with February 2025.
This longer selling timeline is typical during winter months, when fewer buyers are actively shopping for homes.
However, the year-to-date average of 51 days on market also shows that homes are taking slightly longer to sell than they did at the same time last year.
While this suggests a modest shift toward a more balanced market, well-priced homes in desirable neighbourhoods are still selling quickly.
Year-to-date figures show slightly different trends compared with the monthly data.
Year-to-Date Market Comparison (2026 vs 2025)
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 145 | 142 | +2.11% |
| Average Asking Price | $535,000 | $506,000 | +5.68% |
| New Listings | 209 | 225 | -7.11% |
| Days on Market | 51 | 41 | +24.39% |
| Average Sale Price | $505,000 | $508,000 | -0.49% |
| Ask to Sell Ratio | 0.995 | 1.004 | -0.90% |
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers considering purchasing a home in Sherwood Park, the current market presents both opportunities and challenges.
Inventory remains somewhat limited, which means the best homes may still receive multiple offers. However, the slightly longer days on market and small price adjustments could provide buyers with more negotiating room than they had in recent years.
Buyers should still be prepared to act quickly when the right home becomes available, especially in popular neighbourhoods.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers in Sherwood Park continue to benefit from strong property values and stable demand.
Even though the market is slightly more balanced than it was during the peak seller markets, homes that are priced appropriately and presented well are still attracting buyers.
With the spring market approaching, homeowners who are considering selling may want to begin preparing their homes now in order to take advantage of the increased buyer activity expected in the coming months.
Sherwood Park Real Estate Outlook
Looking ahead to the spring market, Sherwood Park appears well positioned for continued stability.
Key trends to watch include:
Sherwood Park’s strong amenities, schools, and proximity to Edmonton ensure that it remains one of the most desirable communities in the region.
If buyer demand continues to grow while inventory remains limited, the market could see moderate price growth later in 2026.
Thinking About Buying or Selling in Sherwood Park?
Whether you are planning to buy your first home, upgrade to a larger property, or sell your current home, understanding the market trends is essential to making the right decision.

The Rural Sturgeon County real estate market continued to gain momentum in February 2026 as more buyers and sellers entered the market ahead of the spring real estate season.

This suggests that sellers remain confident in the long-term value of acreage properties in Sturgeon County. Larger luxury homes and estate properties entering the market may also be influencing the higher average list price.
Overall, asking prices across the first two months of the year remain slightly higher than last year.
📈 Sold Properties – Buyer Activity Increasing
Seven properties sold in February 2026, representing a 16.67% increase compared to February 2025 .
While acreage markets tend to have smaller sales volumes compared to city markets, the increase in sales suggests that buyers are becoming more active as we move closer to the spring market.
The increase in early-year sales indicates that buyers who have been watching the market are beginning to act.
💵 Average Sale Price – Market Adjusting
The average sale price for February was $887,000, which represents a 19.42% decrease from February 2025 .
However, in rural markets with small transaction volumes, just one or two luxury sales can dramatically influence the average. February’s decline likely reflects a different mix of property types rather than a broad decline in property values.
Again, this difference is primarily due to sales mix rather than overall market weakness.
📊 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Sellers Receiving Strong Offers
The average ask-to-sell ratio reached 96.3%, an increase of 1.09% year-over-year .
This means sellers are receiving closer to their asking price than last year, showing stronger negotiating conditions.
⏳ Days on Market – Major Improvement
One of the most positive indicators in the February report is the dramatic drop in Days on Market (DOM).
Homes sold in an average of 129 days, which is 50.38% faster than February 2025 .
This improvement suggests that buyers are acting more decisively when the right property comes to market.
