As Edmonton's spring real estate market moves toward its summer peak, the detached single-family housing sector continues to demonstrate resilience despite softer sales activity compared to last year.

The May 2026 market data reveals a market that is becoming increasingly balanced—offering opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Whether you're considering purchasing your first home, upgrading to a larger property, or preparing to sell, understanding these trends is essential.

🆕 New Listings Continue to Grow
Inventory growth remains one of the defining stories of the 2026 market.
In May, 1,970 new detached homes hit the market, a slight increase of 0.36% compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, Edmonton has seen 7,030 new detached listings, up 2.40% from last year.
While the increase is modest, it continues to provide buyers with more options than they had in 2025.
More inventory means:
✅ Greater selection for buyers
✅ Less competition on some properties
✅ More negotiating opportunities
✅ Longer decision timelines
For sellers, it means standing out has become increasingly important.
🏷️ Seller Confidence Remains Strong
The average asking price reached $623,000 in May, an increase of 1.08% compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, the average asking price is now $627,000, up 1.21% year-over-year.
This indicates sellers remain confident in Edmonton's housing market.
However, the gap between asking price and sale price continues to widen slightly compared to previous years, meaning buyers are becoming more selective and negotiating more frequently.
The lesson for sellers? Strategic pricing remains critical.
🏘️ Sales Activity Remains Below 2025 Levels
A total of 916 detached homes sold in May 2026, representing an 11.92% decrease compared to May 2025. While sales volume remains below last year's pace, this isn't necessarily cause for concern.
The market is continuing its transition away from the rapid pace seen in 2024 and early 2025. Buyers today are more deliberate, often viewing multiple properties before making an offer. Increased inventory has reduced the urgency that characterized the market over the past two years.
Year-to-date sales now sit at 3,531 detached homes, down 14.55% from 2025. While fewer transactions are occurring, price growth remains positive, demonstrating that buyer demand still exists—just at a more measured pace.
💰 Average Sale Prices Continue to Climb
One of the most encouraging trends in the May report is continued price appreciation.
The average detached home sold for $583,000 in May 2026, representing a 4.69% increase compared to May 2025. This is one of the strongest year-over-year price gains we've seen so far in 2026.
The year-to-date average sale price now stands at $571,000, up 1.51% from last year.
These numbers suggest that while buyers are taking longer to purchase, they remain willing to pay premium prices for homes that are:
For homeowners considering selling, this continued appreciation is excellent news.
💬 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows More Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio in May was 0.987, down from 1.000 in May 2025.
This means homes are selling for approximately 98.7% of their asking price.
While this remains a healthy ratio, it clearly shows that buyers have regained some negotiating power compared to last year.
Today's buyers are:
This creates a more balanced market overall.
⏳ Days on Market Increase Significantly
One of the biggest changes in the May report is the increase in selling times.
Detached homes took 54 days on average to sell in May 2026, compared to 39 days in May 2025, representing a substantial 38.46% increase.
Year-to-date, homes are averaging 63 days on market, compared to 48 days last year.
This doesn't mean homes aren't selling—it means buyers are taking more time to evaluate their options.
For sellers, this trend reinforces the importance of:
📈 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)
The year-to-date numbers provide a broader perspective on how Edmonton's detached market is performing in 2026.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |

| Average Asking Price | $627,000 | $620,000 | ▲ 1.21% |

🧠 What This Means for Buyers
The May market presents several advantages for buyers:
Opportunities
✅ More inventory
✅ Stable pricing
✅ More negotiation leverage
✅ Less urgency than 2025
Challenges
⚠️ Higher interest rates than recent years
⚠️ Desirable homes still attract strong interest
⚠️ Quality inventory can sell quickly
💼 What This Means for Sellers
Sellers continue to benefit from:
✔ Rising average sale prices
✔ Strong buyer demand in key neighbourhoods
✔ Limited supply in certain price ranges
However, sellers must adapt to a market where:
The homes that sell fastest are typically the ones that are priced correctly from day one.
🔮 Outlook for Summer 2026
Looking ahead to June and July, several trends are likely to continue:
Overall, Edmonton remains one of Canada's most affordable major cities, and detached homes continue to offer excellent long-term value.
New construction detached homes remain a significant part of Edmonton's housing market, offering buyers modern designs, energy-efficient construction, warranty protection, and access to valuable financial incentives. Comparing May 2026 to May 2025 reveals a market that remains active, although builders are facing longer selling times and slightly softer pricing than last year.
In May 2026, there were 121 new construction detached homes sold, compared to 113 in May 2025, representing a 7.08% increase in sales volume.
This increase demonstrates that buyers continue to see value in newly built homes despite a more balanced market environment.
One of the biggest changes in the new construction segment is the increase in days on market.
| Metric | May 2026 | May 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Average DOM | 78 Days | 63 Days |
| Median DOM | 79 Days | 59 Days |
| Fastest Sale | 0 Days | 3 Days |
| Longest Sale | 284 Days | 206 Days |
The increase in selling times reflects:
While homes are taking longer to sell, the fact that some homes sold immediately demonstrates that properly priced inventory in desirable communities continues to move quickly.
| Metric | May 2026 | May 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average List Price | $624,482 | $629,637 | ▼ 0.82% |
| Median List Price | $589,900 | $609,900 | ▼ 3.28% |
Builders have adjusted pricing slightly to remain competitive as inventory levels increase and buyers gain more choices.
| Metric | May 2026 | May 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Sale Price | $616,219 | $623,093 | ▼ 1.10% |
| Median Sale Price | $580,000 | $604,998 | ▼ 4.13% |
Although prices softened modestly, Edmonton's new construction market continues to maintain strong values compared to historical averages.
Despite slightly lower average prices, overall sales volume actually increased.
| Year | Total Sales Volume |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $74,562,506 |
| 2025 | $70,409,613 |
This represents an increase of approximately 5.90% year-over-year.
This tells us that while builders may be making small pricing adjustments, buyers are still actively purchasing new construction homes throughout Edmonton.

The Parkland County acreage market continued to navigate a period of adjustment in May 2026. While sales activity remained lower than the exceptionally strong market we experienced in 2025, acreage values have remained remarkably resilient. Inventory levels continue to be lower than last year, and sellers who are pricing strategically are still attracting serious buyers.
As we move into the summer market, buyers and sellers alike are watching inventory levels, pricing trends, and days on market to gauge where the acreage market is headed next.
If you're considering buying or selling an acreage in Parkland County, understanding the latest statistics can help you make informed decisions.

📊 May 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the May 2026 Rural Parkland County Market Update :
While sales volume has slowed compared to the same period last year, buyers are still paying very close to asking price, and inventory remains lower than historical levels.

📦 Inventory Levels Continue to Tighten
New listings continue to trend lower than last year.

Year-to-date:
Why Inventory Matters
Lower inventory means:
The acreage market remains significantly undersupplied compared to 2025.
📉 Average Asking Prices Adjust Slightly
The average asking price in May was $874,000, down 4.67% from May 2025.
However, on a year-to-date basis, asking prices remain higher than last year:
| Average Asking Price |
| 2026 YTD: $940,000 |
| 2025 YTD: $898,000 |
| Change: ↑ 4.66% |
This suggests sellers remain confident in the long-term value of their properties but may be making small adjustments to attract buyers in a slower market.
🏡 Sales Activity Remains Below Last Year's Pace
May recorded 37 acreage sales, down 33.93% compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, Parkland County has recorded 123 sales, compared to 189 sales during the same period in 2025, representing a 34.92% decline.
At first glance, these numbers may seem concerning. However, it's important to remember that 2025 was one of the busiest acreage markets we've seen in recent years. Today's market is still active—it simply reflects a return to more normalized sales levels.
What This Means:
💰 Average Sale Prices Show Stability
The average sale price in May 2026 was $732,000, a 9.03% decrease from May 2025.
However, the bigger picture tells a more balanced story:
| Year-to-Date Average Sale Price |
| 2026: $771,000 |
| 2025: $777,000 |
| Change: ↓ 0.67% |
Despite lower sales activity, average values have remained remarkably stable throughout 2026. A decline of less than 1% year-to-date suggests acreage values are holding up well despite changing market conditions.
Why This Matters
This indicates that:
🔥 Buyers Are Still Paying Near Asking Price
One of the strongest indicators in this month's report is the ask-to-sell ratio.
May's ratio came in at 0.990, meaning sellers received approximately 99% of their asking price on average.
Year-to-date:
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio |
| 2026: 0.985 |
| 2025: 0.985 |
This tells us:
⏱️ Days on Market Increase
Properties sold in an average of 62 days, a 24% increase from May 2025.
Year-to-date:
| Days on Market |
| 2026: 74 days |
| 2025: 70 days |
| Change: ↑ 5.71% |
What This Means
Buyers are spending more time:
This isn't necessarily a sign of weakness. Acreage purchases often involve additional considerations such as septic systems, wells, zoning, and outbuildings.

As we move deeper into the spring market, Edmonton real estate continues to demonstrate resilience despite shifting market conditions. While overall sales activity remains below the exceptional pace we saw in 2025, home prices continue to rise, inventory levels are expanding, and buyers are gaining more options than they've had in several years.
The May 2026 statistics paint a picture of a market that is becoming more balanced. Buyers are taking longer to make decisions, sellers are facing increased competition, and negotiation is becoming a more important part of the transaction process. Yet despite these changes, Edmonton remains one of Canada's most affordable and stable major real estate markets.
Let's take a closer look at what happened in May and what it means for buyers, sellers, investors, and those considering new construction.
Edmonton Market Snapshot – May 2026
According to the latest REALTORS® Association of Edmonton statistics:
Compared to May 2025, sales activity declined while pricing continued to strengthen. New inventory remained elevated, creating additional opportunities for buyers while increasing competition among sellers.
A total of 315 new construction homes sold in May 2026, compared to 268 sales in May 2025.
| Metric | May 2026 | May 2025 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Construction Sales | 315 | 268 | ↑ 17.54% |
This increase is particularly noteworthy because overall Edmonton resale sales were lower year-over-year. It shows that buyers continue to be attracted to the benefits of new construction, including:
Many buyers who might traditionally have purchased resale homes are continuing to explore new construction due to the wider variety of products available across Edmonton and surrounding communities.
Despite the increase in sales volume, pricing softened modestly.
| Year | Average Sale Price |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $555,567 |
| 2025 | $576,442 |
Change: ↓ 3.62%
| Year | Median Sale Price |
|---|---|
| 2026 | $530,000 |
| 2025 | $566,250 |
Change: ↓ 6.40%
The decline in average and median prices doesn't necessarily indicate weakness in the market. Instead, it likely reflects a changing product mix.
Builders are increasingly offering:
These more affordable options are helping buyers enter the market despite ongoing affordability concerns.
One of the most dramatic changes occurred in marketing times.
| Metric | 2026 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Average Days on Market | 75 | 58 |
| Median Days on Market | 71 | 50 |
Builders are still selling homes, but buyers are taking longer to make decisions.
Several factors may be contributing:
This trend mirrors what we're seeing in the broader Edmonton market, where buyers have become more patient and selective.
Below Graphs Are Interactive.
New Listings Increase Buyer Choice
Inventory continues to build across the Edmonton market.
May saw 3,650 new listings hit the market, while year-to-date listings reached 13,700 properties, up 2.34% compared to 2025.
This increase in inventory creates several benefits for buyers:
For sellers, increasing inventory means presentation, pricing, and marketing are becoming more important than ever.
Average Asking Prices Remain Strong
The average asking price in May was $487,000, up 1.60% year-over-year. Year-to-date, average asking prices have increased 1.51%, reaching $485,000.
Seller confidence remains high, but we're also seeing more realistic pricing strategies than we saw during the peak of the seller's market.
Today's sellers recognize that buyers have more options and are more selective. As a result, accurate pricing is becoming increasingly important.
Homes that are priced correctly continue to attract strong interest, while overpriced properties are often remaining on the market longer and requiring adjustments.
Home Sales Continue to Normalize
A total of 1,653 homes sold in Edmonton during May 2026, representing a 17.76% decrease compared to May 2025. While this may initially seem concerning, context is important.
The first half of 2025 was characterized by unusually strong demand, fuelled by tight inventory, migration into Alberta, and buyers attempting to get ahead of potential interest rate changes. Those conditions created exceptionally high sales volumes that are difficult to match.
What we're seeing in 2026 is a more sustainable pace of activity. Buyers are still active, but they're taking more time to evaluate properties, negotiate terms, and compare options before making a purchase.
This shift is healthy for the long-term stability of the Edmonton market.
Average Sale Price Reaches New Highs
One of the most encouraging statistics in the May report is the continued rise in home values.
The average sale price increased to $457,000, representing a 5.33% increase compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, the average sale price now sits at $450,000, which is 3.32% higher than the same period last year.
This demonstrates that despite lower transaction volume, demand remains strong enough to support continued price appreciation.
Several factors are helping drive these values:
For homeowners, this means equity continues to grow. For buyers, it reinforces the importance of entering the market before prices climb further.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows Increased Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio in May was 0.982, meaning homes sold for approximately 98.2% of their asking price.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.980 compared to 0.993 during the same period in 2025.
While this change appears small, it reflects a meaningful shift in market dynamics.
Buyers now have:
This doesn't mean sellers are losing value—it simply means pricing strategy matters more than ever.
Days on Market Remain Elevated
The average days on market in May was 58 days, an increase of 41.46% compared to May 2025. Year-to-date, homes are taking an average of 68 days to sell compared to just 49 days last year.
This statistic reflects one of the most significant shifts we've seen throughout 2026.
While homes are still selling, buyers have become more deliberate. They are taking additional time to evaluate neighbourhoods, compare listings, and negotiate terms.
For sellers, this means patience and proper pricing are increasingly important.
Year-to-Date Comparison: 2026 vs 2025
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 6,650 | 8,080 | ↓ 17.69% |
| Average Asking Price | $485,000 | $477,000 | ↑ 1.51% |
| Average Sale Price | $450,000 | $436,000 | ↑ 3.32% |
| New Listings | 13,700 | 13,300 | ↑ 2.34% |
| Days on Market | 68 | 49 | ↑ 38.78% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.980 | 0.993 | ↓ 1.30% |
What This Means for Buyers
If you're looking to purchase a home in Edmonton, current conditions may offer the best opportunities we've seen in several years.
Buyers have:
However, home prices continue to trend upward. Waiting may provide additional inventory choices, but it may also mean paying more for the same property later.
What This Means for Sellers
For sellers, the market remains healthy—but strategy matters.
Homes that are professionally marketed, priced appropriately, and presented well continue to achieve excellent results.
The difference is that buyers now have more options. Standing out from the competition is more important than ever.
Looking Ahead to Summer 2026
As we move into June and July, we expect:
Edmonton continues to benefit from strong fundamentals, including affordability, migration, employment growth, and investor interest.
These factors should help support the market throughout the remainder of 2026.
Final Thoughts
The May 2026 report reinforces a trend we've been tracking throughout the year: Edmonton is transitioning toward a balanced market.
Sales are lower than last year, but prices continue to rise.
Inventory is increasing, giving buyers more options.
Negotiation is returning, creating opportunities on both sides of the transaction.
Overall, Edmonton remains one of Canada's strongest and most stable real estate markets.
If you're considering buying, selling, investing, or exploring new construction opportunities, I'd be happy to help you create a strategy tailored to today's market.

The Edmonton condo market continued its transition through May 2026, with sales activity remaining below last year's pace while inventory levels and pricing remained relatively stable. As we move deeper into the spring market, buyers continue to benefit from increased selection and negotiating opportunities, while sellers face a more competitive environment than we saw throughout much of 2024 and early 2025.
The latest numbers show a market that is balancing itself. While transaction volume remains down, condo values have held remarkably steady considering the increased inventory and longer selling times. For buyers, sellers, and investors alike, understanding these trends is essential when making real estate decisions in today's Edmonton condo market.
May 2026 Edmonton Condo Market Snapshot
| Metric | May 2026 | Change vs May 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 311 | -18.59% |
| Average Asking Price | $232,000 | +1.86% |
| New Listings | 760 | -7.09% |
| Days on Market | 74 | +29.82% |
| Average Sale Price | $200,000 | -4.32% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.964 | -0.56% |
Bar Graphs Below Are Interactive
Inventory Remains Elevated
There were 760 new condo listings in May, down 7.09% from the same month last year. While listings declined year-over-year, inventory levels remain healthy overall. Buyers continue to enjoy more selection than they did during much of 2024 and early 2025.
More inventory creates opportunities for:
The increased choice means buyers can be more selective and negotiate more confidently than they could a year ago.
Sellers Are Maintaining Price Expectations
The average asking price rose to $232,000, representing a 1.86% increase compared to May 2025. This tells us that sellers remain confident in the value of their properties despite softer sales activity.
Interestingly, asking prices have increased while sale prices have softened slightly. This creates a larger negotiation gap between buyers and sellers and reinforces the importance of accurate pricing.
Today's buyers are well-informed and often compare multiple units before making a decision. Sellers who price aggressively above market value may find their property sitting longer than expected.
Condo Sales Continue to Lag Behind 2025
A total of 311 condos sold in Edmonton during May 2026, representing an 18.59% decrease compared to May 2025. While this continues the trend of lower transaction volume we've seen throughout the first half of the year, it is important to note that sales activity remains relatively consistent with recent months. The monthly sales chart in the report shows a gradual improvement from the winter slowdown, even though sales remain below the exceptionally strong numbers recorded in 2025.
For buyers, this means less competition than we experienced a year ago. Multiple-offer situations still occur on desirable properties, but they are far less common than they were during Edmonton's stronger seller's market conditions. For sellers, attracting buyers requires competitive pricing and excellent presentation.
Condo Prices Remain Surprisingly Stable
The average sale price for an Edmonton condo in May 2026 was $200,000, down 4.32% from May 2025. While any decline in pricing catches attention, the broader picture suggests stability rather than weakness.
The sales price trend shown in the report demonstrates that condo values have remained within a relatively narrow range over the past several years. In fact, the year-to-date average sale price remains only slightly lower than last year despite significantly reduced sales activity. This indicates that Edmonton's condo market continues to benefit from affordability and steady demand.
For investors, this is particularly encouraging. Stable pricing combined with Edmonton's strong rental demand continues to make apartment-style condos attractive investment opportunities.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Healthy
The average ask-to-sell ratio sits at 0.964, meaning sellers are receiving approximately 96.4% of their asking price. This is only slightly below last year's figure and demonstrates that buyers and sellers remain relatively aligned on value.
A ratio above 95% is generally considered healthy and indicates a balanced market rather than one heavily favouring either buyers or sellers.
Days on Market Continue to Increase
The average days on market was 74 days, an increase of 29.82% compared to May 2025. This remains one of the most significant trends in Edmonton's condo market.
Properties are taking longer to sell because:
The good news for sellers is that properly priced condos are still moving. Many of the longer-selling properties tend to be those that entered the market overpriced.
Below is a summary of the year-to-date condo statistics for 2026 compared to 2025.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 1,295 | 1,621 | -20.11% |
| Average Asking Price | $236,000 | $237,000 | -0.52% |
| New Listings | 3,008 | 3,030 | -0.73% |
| Days on Market | 84 | 68 | +23.53% |
| Average Sale Price | $210,000 | $211,000 | -0.68% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.961 | 0.968 | -0.75% |
What This Means for Buyers
May continues to present excellent opportunities for buyers.
Current market conditions offer:
For first-time buyers, Edmonton remains one of Canada's most affordable major cities for condominium ownership. Buyers who have been waiting for a calmer market may find 2026 offers some of the best opportunities we've seen in recent years.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers can still achieve successful results, but the strategy has changed.
The most successful condo listings are:
The days of simply listing a condo and expecting immediate offers have largely passed. Today's buyers have choices and are taking their time.
Edmonton Condo Market Outlook for Summer 2026
Looking ahead to June and July, we expect:
The Edmonton condo market remains balanced. While sales volumes are lower than last year, pricing has proven remarkably resilient, suggesting long-term stability rather than market weakness.

The spring market continued to gain momentum in May, but the numbers tell an interesting story for Spruce Grove homeowners and buyers. While sales remained below last year's pace, home prices showed signs of stabilization, inventory remained healthy, and buyers continued to enjoy more negotiating power than they had throughout much of 2024 and 2025.
As we move toward the busy summer market, Spruce Grove remains one of the most attractive communities in the Edmonton region thanks to its family-friendly neighbourhoods, strong amenities, and relative affordability compared to many surrounding markets.
Let's take a closer look at what happened in May 2026.
📊 May 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the May 2026 Spruce Grove Local Market Update:
Year-to-date through May:
The new construction market in Spruce Grove remained active throughout May 2026, with builders continuing to attract buyers despite a more balanced overall housing market. In fact, 24 new construction homes sold in May 2026, compared to 21 sales in May 2025, representing a 14.3% increase in sales volume.
While more newly built homes sold this year, pricing trends tell an interesting story. The average sale price for new construction homes in May 2026 was $533,630, down slightly from $546,847 in May 2025, a decrease of approximately 2.4%. This could be due to a change in available product type.
Builders also adjusted pricing expectations. The average list price declined from $554,212 in May 2025 to $537,488 in May 2026, while the median list price dropped from $560,000 to $512,900. These changes indicate that builders are responding to market conditions by offering products at more accessible price points, helping maintain sales activity despite longer decision-making timelines from buyers.
Interestingly, the upper end of the market remains healthy. The highest-priced new construction home sold in May 2026 reached $793,000, compared to $750,000 in May 2025, while the highest listing price climbed to $835,000, demonstrating continued demand for premium and luxury new build homes in select Spruce Grove communities.
One of the biggest changes occurred in marketing times. New construction homes took an average of 72 days to sell in May 2026, compared to 51 days in May 2025. Some homes remained on the market for as long as 193 days, highlighting increased competition among builders and a buyer pool that is taking more time to evaluate options.
Despite softer pricing metrics, total dollar volume actually increased. New construction sales generated $12.8 million in total sales volume during May 2026, compared to $11.5 million in May 2025. This reflects the higher number of transactions and demonstrates that demand for newly built homes in Spruce Grove remains strong.

📦 New Listings: Inventory Levels Remain Healthy
May brought 167 new listings to the market, representing a 13.47% decrease from May 2025. However, the year-to-date story looks quite different. Total listings for 2026 now sit at 729 properties, virtually unchanged from the 728 listings recorded during the same period last year.
This tells us inventory remains healthy overall despite a slower May.
For buyers, this means there are still plenty of options available. For sellers, it means competition remains strong and presentation matters more than ever.
💰 Average Asking Price: Stability Returns
The average asking price in May 2026 reached $507,000, representing a 2.76% increase compared to May 2025. This is one of the more encouraging signs in the report and suggests seller confidence remains relatively strong.
However, when we zoom out to the year-to-date numbers, the average asking price sits at $503,000, which is 1.05% lower than 2025's YTD average.
The takeaway?
Pricing appears to be stabilizing after several months of downward pressure. Sellers are adjusting expectations, but values remain resilient.
🏠 Sales Activity: Spring Demand Continues
Spruce Grove recorded 109 sales in May 2026, a 5.22% decrease compared to May 2025. While sales remain below last year's pace, the gap has narrowed considerably compared to earlier months this year.
Year-to-date, 450 homes have sold, down 9.09% from the 495 sales recorded during the same period in 2025. While buyer activity remains somewhat softer than last year, demand is still present and steady.
The market appears to be settling into a more balanced pattern where buyers are active but less likely to make rushed decisions.
📈 Average Sale Price: A Positive Monthly Rebound
One of the strongest indicators in the May report is the average sale price, which climbed to $476,000, representing a 3.01% increase over May 2025.
This is the first significant positive year-over-year increase we've seen in several months and may indicate that buyer confidence is beginning to improve.
Despite this monthly gain, the year-to-date average sale price remains slightly lower at $471,000, down 1.35% from 2025.
This suggests the market may be finding its footing after a period of normalization earlier in the year.
⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Still Present
The average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.991, meaning homes sold for approximately 99.1% of their asking price.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.990, compared to 1.003 in 2025.
This confirms that buyers continue to have more negotiating power than they did during the highly competitive market conditions of previous years.
That said, homes that are properly priced and marketed are still achieving excellent results.
⏳ Days on Market: Buyers Continue Taking Their Time
Homes sold in an average of 55 days during May, which is 48.65% longer than May 2025.
Year-to-date, the average sits at 66 days, compared to just 50 days during the same period in 2025.
This remains one of the most important trends in the market:
While the market remains active, urgency has largely disappeared.
📊 Year-to-Date Comparison: 2026 vs. 2025
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |

🏡 Market Overview: Stability Returns to the Spring Market
May 2026 signals a shift toward market balance in Stony Plain. Sales have rebounded compared to earlier months, prices are climbing steadily, and buyers are active — but not rushed.
Unlike the hyper-competitive conditions of past years, today’s market reflects:
This is what a healthy real estate market looks like.
New construction activity in Stony Plain continued to gain momentum in May 2026, with 8 homes sold, doubling the 4 sales recorded in May 2025. This increase highlights growing buyer demand for new builds as we move deeper into the spring market.
The average sale price in May 2026 was $480,073, slightly down from $518,124 in May 2025. While this represents a shift toward more mid-range product this year, overall pricing remains strong and consistent with broader market trends. The median sale price came in at $427,222, compared to $512,499 last year, further reinforcing that more attainable new construction options are entering the market.
Prices ranged from $396,375 to $720,000 in 2026, compared to a narrower and slightly higher range of $390,000 to $657,500 in 2025. This expanded range indicates increased diversity in product — from entry-level builds to larger, move-up homes.
In terms of market pace, homes are taking longer to sell, with an average of 75 days on market, compared to just 51 days last year. However, the median days on market increased more significantly to 86 days, suggesting that while some homes are moving quickly, others are taking longer to absorb as inventory grows.
Total sales volume reached $3,840,591 in May 2026, a significant increase from $2,072,498 in May 2025, reflecting both higher transaction counts and continued strength in new construction demand.
👉 Key takeaway:
New construction in Stony Plain is shifting toward higher volume and broader price accessibility, with more options for buyers and continued strong performance overall. While homes are taking longer to sell, demand remains solid — and this segment continues to be a major driver of market growth in 2026.

The Leduc real estate market remained active throughout May 2026, with strong inventory growth, stable pricing, and sales activity that continues to keep pace with last year’s market. While buyers are benefiting from significantly more choice than they had in 2025, sellers are still achieving excellent results when their homes are priced and marketed effectively.
One of the biggest stories this month is the continued increase in inventory. New listings have surged more than 33% year-to-date, creating one of the most balanced markets Leduc has experienced in recent years. At the same time, average sale prices remain remarkably stable, showing that increased supply has not translated into falling home values.
Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or investing, here's what the latest statistics tell us about the Leduc housing market.
📊 Key Leduc Real Estate Statistics | May 2026
The new construction segment of the Leduc real estate market continues to be a major contributor to overall housing activity, with builders seeing a significant increase in sales volume during May 2026.
A total of 19 new construction homes sold in May 2026, compared to 12 sales in May 2025, representing a 58.3% increase in builder sales activity year-over-year. This growth demonstrates that buyer demand for newer homes remains strong, particularly in Leduc's growing communities such as Black Stone, Woodbend, Meadowview, and Southfork.
While sales activity increased substantially, average prices shifted slightly lower as builders introduced more attainable housing options to the market. The average sold price for a new construction home in May 2026 was $517,846, compared to $614,535 in May 2025, representing a 15.7% decrease year-over-year. Similarly, the median sold price declined from $607,500 to $509,900, indicating that a larger share of buyers were purchasing entry-level and move-up homes rather than higher-end custom builds.
One of the most encouraging statistics is the improvement in selling timelines. New construction homes sold in an average of 45 days, compared to 54 days in May 2025, representing a 16.7% improvement in market absorption. The median days on market dropped even more dramatically from 51 days to just 34 days, showing that well-priced new homes are moving quickly despite increased inventory levels across the broader market.
Builders also generated significantly more sales volume overall. Total new construction sales increased from $7.37 million in May 2025 to $9.84 million in May 2026, representing a remarkable 33.4% increase in total dollar volume sold.
| Metric | May 2026 | May 2025 | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Construction Sales | 19 | 12 | ↑ 58.3% |
| Average List Price | $519,291 | $623,316 | ↓ 16.7% |

🆕 Inventory Continues to Expand
Inventory remains the dominant story in the 2026 market.
Leduc saw 184 new listings in May, representing a substantial 33.33% increase compared to May 2025.
Year-to-date, there have been 657 new listings, compared to 493 during the same period last year, representing a 33.27% increase.
This increase is creating:
For buyers, this means less pressure and more opportunities to find the right home. For sellers, it means strategic pricing and professional marketing have become more important than ever.
📌 Average Asking Price
The average list price in May 2026 climbed to $498,000, representing a 2.77% increase over May 2025.
This increase demonstrates continued seller confidence and reflects the long-term strength of the Leduc market. Sellers remain optimistic about their home values, even as inventory expands.
On a year-to-date basis, the average asking price now sits at $489,000, up 0.94% from 2025.
While price growth has moderated compared to the rapid appreciation experienced in previous years, values continue to trend upward overall.
🏠 Sales Activity Remains Strong
A total of 89 homes sold in Leduc during May 2026, representing a 9.18% decrease compared to May 2025.
While monthly sales were slightly lower than last year, the broader picture remains encouraging. Year-to-date, 352 homes have sold in Leduc, compared to 351 during the same period in 2025, representing a modest 0.28% increase.
This tells us that overall buyer demand remains healthy despite increased inventory and a more balanced market environment. Buyers are still purchasing homes, but they are taking more time to evaluate their options before making offers.
💵 Average Sale Price Continues to Hold
One of the strongest indicators of market stability is pricing.
The average sale price in May 2026 reached $469,000, representing a slight 0.19% increase compared to May 2025.
While the increase may be modest, it reinforces an important trend: home values in Leduc are holding steady despite significantly higher inventory levels.
Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $452,000, compared to $455,000 during the same period last year, representing a minimal 0.60% decrease.
Considering the substantial increase in listings, this level of price stability is a positive sign for homeowners and investors alike.
📈 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Breaks Above 100%
One of the most interesting statistics this month is the average ask-to-sell ratio of 1.002.
This means that, on average, homes sold for 100.2% of their asking price during May.
This is a strong indication that desirable homes are still attracting competitive offers and, in some cases, selling above list price.
While the year-to-date ask-to-sell ratio remains at 0.990, May's performance demonstrates that buyers are still willing to compete for well-priced properties.
⏳ Days on Market
Homes in Leduc sold in an average of 41 days during May, which is longer than the same period last year. The average days on market increased 32.26% year-over-year.
Year-to-date, homes are taking an average of 57 days to sell, compared to 45 days during the same period in 2025.
This doesn't necessarily indicate weakening demand. Rather, it reflects the increased inventory levels and the fact that buyers have more opportunities to compare properties before making decisions.
Homes that are priced correctly and presented well continue to sell relatively quickly.
