Beaumont Real Estate Market Update: August 2026 Statistics

The Beaumont real estate market began showing some signs of late-summer moderation in August 2026. Sales activity declined compared with last August, more properties came onto the market, and homes continued to take longer to sell. At the same time, the bigger year-to-date picture remains relatively stable: average sale prices are still slightly higher than they were at this point in 2025, while the average asking price is also ahead of last year.

Perhaps the most important trend for anyone buying or selling a home in Beaumont right now is inventory. Through August, the number of new listings is up more than 16% from 2025, while the number of homes sold is down just over 2%. That growing gap between supply and sales is giving buyers more selection and making pricing and presentation increasingly important for sellers.

Whether you're considering buying a home in Beaumont, selling your current property, or comparing resale homes with new construction, here's what the August 2026 numbers tell us.

Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ New Listings Continue to Outpace Last Year

There were 88 new listings in Beaumont in August, an 11.39% increase compared with August 2025.

The year-to-date difference is even more significant.

Through the end of August, 716 properties have been listed in Beaumont in 2026, compared with 615 during the same period last year. That's an increase of 16.42%.

This is arguably one of the most important statistics in the August report.

We have 16.42% more new listings entering the market, while sales are 2.13% lower. That means buyers are being presented with considerably more options without a corresponding increase in overall demand.

For buyers, that's generally good news. More selection can provide additional time to compare homes, neighbourhoods, upgrades and price points.

For sellers, it means competition is becoming more important. Buyers don't have to settle for the first acceptable property they see when several comparable homes may be available.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price in Beaumont

The average asking price in Beaumont was $556,000 in August 2026, representing a 3.82% decrease compared with August 2025.

This is an interesting change after July, when the average asking price reached $610,000.

However, one month's average should never be interpreted in isolation. The types of homes listed and sold can significantly influence monthly averages, particularly in a smaller market such as Beaumont.

The year-to-date numbers provide a clearer picture.

Through August, the average asking price is $601,000, compared with $585,000 during the same period in 2025. That's a 2.74% increase year-over-year.

That tells us seller expectations remain higher overall in 2026 despite August's lower monthly average.

For sellers, though, the growing inventory means it's increasingly important to separate market value from aspirational pricing. Buyers have more choices and can compare your property against competing listings before deciding whether the asking price represents good value.

Beaumont Home Sales

🏡 Beaumont Home Sales Decline in August

There were 45 properties sold in Beaumont during August 2026, representing a 15.09% decrease from August 2025.

This is a more noticeable year-over-year decline than we saw in July, when 46 properties sold and activity was down only 4.17%.

The monthly sales chart on the report's single page helps put that change into perspective. Beaumont recorded 32 sales in March, followed by 51 in April, 53 in May, 47 in June, 46 in July and 45 in August. In other words, activity peaked during the spring and has gradually moderated through the summer.

That pattern isn't necessarily unusual as families complete moves before the start of the school year and the market begins transitioning toward fall. What makes 2026 particularly interesting is that buyers have considerably more inventory to choose from than they did last year.

Looking at the year as a whole, 322 properties have sold in Beaumont through August 2026, compared with 329 during the same period in 2025. That's a relatively modest 2.13% decrease year-over-year.

So although August itself was slower, overall 2026 sales remain relatively close to last year's pace.

Average Sale Price

🏡 Average Sale Price in Beaumont

The average sale price was $534,000 in August 2026, just 0.33% lower than August 2025.

A decline of less than half a percent is relatively minor, particularly when we consider normal fluctuations in the mix of properties sold from one month to another.

More importantly, Beaumont's year-to-date average sale price remains ahead of last year.

Through August 2026, the average sale price is $548,000, compared with $542,000 during the same period in 2025. That's an increase of 1.07%.

The monthly sales-price chart on the report also shows pricing remaining relatively stable through much of 2026 rather than experiencing a dramatic upward or downward movement.

That's an important distinction.

We're seeing more inventory, fewer August sales and longer selling times, but we're not seeing a significant decline in year-to-date average selling prices.

That points toward a market becoming more balanced rather than one experiencing a major price correction.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Falls to 98%

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 98.0% in August, a decline of 0.82% compared with August 2025. Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 98.3%, compared with 99.2% last year.

Put simply, the average home sold for approximately 98% of its asking price during August.

That means negotiation is clearly part of the current Beaumont market.

For buyers, properties that have been sitting on the market may present opportunities to negotiate on price or terms.

For sellers, the statistic is another reason to price accurately. Starting substantially above market value with the expectation that buyers will simply negotiate downward can actually work against a listing when purchasers have plenty of alternatives.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Increase Again

Homes took an average of 61 days to sell in August, a 29.79% increase compared with August 2025.

Interestingly, that's an improvement from July 2026, when the average was 71 days. But compared with last year, selling times remain considerably longer.

Year-to-date, homes in Beaumont have taken an average of 73 days to sell, compared with only 46 days during the same period in 2025. That's a substantial 58.70% increase.

This reinforces the inventory story.

Buyers have more homes to evaluate, so there is less urgency to make a decision immediately. They can revisit properties, compare new construction against resale, investigate neighbourhoods and negotiate before committing.

For sellers, longer days on market don't necessarily mean there is something wrong with the market. But they do mean expectations need to be realistic.

Pricing correctly from the beginning becomes especially important when new competing listings continue entering the market.

📊 Beaumont Year-to-Date Comparison: 2026 vs. 2025

📈 What Do the YTD Numbers Tell Us?

When we step away from individual monthly fluctuations, Beaumont's 2026 market becomes much easier to understand.

Demand is slightly softer, supply is considerably higher, but prices remain resilient.

Sales are down just 2.13%, which is a relatively small change. Meanwhile, new listings are up 16.42%.

Yet the average year-to-date sale price is still 1.07% higher than last year.

That combination suggests Beaumont is transitioning toward a market with more balance and more buyer choice rather than experiencing a dramatic downturn.

The number that sellers should pay particular attention to is days on market. At 73 days year-to-date versus 46 last year, buyers are clearly taking more time to make decisions.

That makes a strong launch strategy particularly important.

🏗️ Beaumont New Construction Market

New construction continues to be an important part of the Beaumont housing market, particularly as buyers compare builder inventory with resale homes.

We saw this clearly in July, when new construction sales increased substantially even though buyers were purchasing at lower average price points.

For prospective buyers, new construction can provide modern floorplans, new-home warranty coverage, energy-efficient building practices and the ability to purchase a quick-possession home that has never been occupied.

At the same time, resale properties may already include expenses that a new-home buyer needs to budget for separately, such as landscaping, fencing, decks, window coverings or basement development.

With overall Beaumont inventory already up 16.42% year-to-date, builders and resale sellers are competing for many of the same buyers.

Once we have the August 2025 and August 2026 new-construction sales data, I can add the same detailed comparison we've been including in the recent Beaumont blogs, with separate asking-price and sale-price sections.

🧠 What This Means for Beaumont Buyers

For buyers, the August numbers offer several advantages.

There is considerably more inventory available than there was last year, homes are taking longer to sell, and the average property is selling below asking price.

That gives buyers more opportunity to carefully evaluate a purchase rather than feeling pressured to make an immediate decision.

However, increased negotiating power doesn't mean every home is negotiable to the same degree. A desirable, well-priced property can still attract strong interest.

Buyers should evaluate each property based on recent comparable sales, competing inventory, condition and how long it has been on the market.

Those comparing new construction and resale should also consider the total cost of ownership, rather than simply comparing asking prices.

💼 What This Means for Beaumont Sellers

For sellers, Beaumont still offers a healthy market—but the strategy required to succeed has changed.

Year-to-date average sale prices remain above 2025 levels, and more than 320 properties have already sold this year. There are clearly active buyers.

The challenge is capturing their attention when there are more homes available.

Strong photography, thoughtful staging, accurate pricing, online exposure and a clear understanding of the competition are increasingly important.

Sellers should also monitor buyer response during the first few weeks of the listing.

If a property receives plenty of online views but few showings, the price or presentation may not be compelling enough. If it receives showings but no offers, buyer feedback and competing sales should be examined carefully.

The market is providing information—you need to respond to it.

🔮 Beaumont Real Estate Outlook for Fall 2026

As Beaumont moves into the fall market, inventory will be the statistic I'm watching most closely.

If the number of available homes continues growing while sales activity moderates, buyers could gain additional leverage through September and October.

That doesn't automatically mean home prices will fall. So far, year-to-date prices have remained resilient despite significantly more listings.

Instead, we may continue seeing a market where homes take longer to sell and negotiations become more common, while appropriately priced properties continue achieving solid values.

For sellers planning a fall listing, pricing against current competition rather than relying on what similar homes sold for during a hotter market will be increasingly important.

For buyers, fall could provide an attractive window to shop before winter, particularly if inventory remains elevated.

📞 Thinking About Buying or Selling in Beaumont?

Market averages are useful for understanding the overall direction of Beaumont real estate, but your individual property's value depends on much more than the city-wide average.

Neighbourhood, property type, age, lot size, upgrades, garage configuration, basement development, condition and competing listings can all affect value.

Whether you're thinking about selling your Beaumont home, buying your first property, moving up, downsizing, or comparing resale homes with new construction, I can help you understand what the current numbers mean for your specific situation.

Sherwood Park Real Estate Market Update: August 2026 Statistics

The Sherwood Park real estate market in August 2026 showed a noticeable shift from the strong spring and early-summer activity we experienced earlier this year. Sales slowed substantially compared with August 2025, fewer new listings entered the market, and homes took longer to sell. Despite those changes, however, property values remained remarkably resilient.

The average sale price reached $520,000 in August, 2.16% higher than one year ago. Year-to-date, Sherwood Park home sales also remain slightly ahead of 2025, while the average selling price is up 2.65%.

This combination tells us something important about the current Sherwood Park housing market: activity may be slowing, but prices have not followed sales downward.

For buyers, that could mean a little more time to make decisions and potentially more negotiating room on certain properties. For sellers, it means there is still healthy value in the market, but pricing, preparation and marketing are becoming increasingly important.

Here is a closer look at the August 2026 Sherwood Park real estate statistics and what they could mean as we move into the fall market.

Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – August 2026

Interactive bar graphs

Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

New Listings Decline 7%

There were 146 new Sherwood Park listings in August, a 7.01% decline compared with August 2025.

This follows the significant decline we saw in July, when new listings were down nearly 17% year-over-year.

Despite two slower months, the year-to-date numbers remain ahead of last year.

Through August, 1,325 properties have been listed in Sherwood Park, compared with 1,284 during the same period in 2025. That's a 3.19% increase.

For buyers, this means 2026 has generally provided more new inventory overall, although fewer homes have been entering the market during the latter part of summer.

For sellers, declining new-listing activity could be advantageous if it continues into the fall. Fewer competing listings can help a properly priced and well-presented property stand out.

Average Asking Price

Average Asking Price Jumps to $586,000

One of August's more unusual statistics was the average asking price of $586,000, an 11.27% increase compared with August 2025.

That is considerably higher than the $520,000 average sale price.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean the typical seller is pricing their home $66,000 above market value. The asking-price average can be influenced heavily by the type and price range of properties listed during a particular month.

The year-to-date figures provide better context.

Across the first eight months of 2026, the average asking price is $532,000, compared with $522,000 last year—an increase of only 1.81%.

That makes the unusually high August figure more likely to reflect the month's inventory mix rather than a sudden 11% jump in property values.

For sellers, the important takeaway remains the same: your pricing strategy should be based on comparable properties, current competition and recent sales—not the broad monthly average alone.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

Home Sales Drop in August

The biggest story this month is the decline in sales.

There were 96 properties sold in Sherwood Park during August 2026, a 20.66% decrease compared with August 2025.

That's a significant month-over-month shift from July, when Sherwood Park recorded 160 sales.

However, it's important not to look at one month in isolation.

Through the end of August, 1,012 Sherwood Park properties have sold in 2026, compared with 996 over the same period last year. That leaves year-to-date sales 1.61% ahead of 2025.

The sales chart on page one also helps put August into perspective. Sales were ahead of the previous year in April, May, June and July before dropping below 2025 levels in August. In other words, August represents a change from the trend we've seen through much of the spring and summer rather than evidence that the entire year has been weak.

The September numbers will therefore be particularly interesting. They should help show whether August was primarily a late-summer slowdown or the beginning of a broader shift in buyer activity.

Average Sale Price

Average Sale Price – $520,000

Despite the significant decrease in sales volume, the average Sherwood Park sale price reached $520,000 in August 2026, representing a 2.16% increase compared with August 2025.

Year-to-date, the numbers are even more encouraging for homeowners.

The average sale price for 2026 is currently $524,000, compared with $511,000 through the same period of 2025. That's a 2.65% year-over-year increase.

This is an important distinction. Fewer homes selling does not automatically mean home values are declining.

The sales-price chart on page one of the report shows the normal month-to-month fluctuations we've seen since early 2024, but average prices have generally remained within a higher range throughout 2026. The August average of $520,000 remains well above the levels seen during much of 2024.

As always, averages can be affected by the mix of properties sold. If more higher-priced detached homes sell in one month, for example, the overall average can rise even without every individual property appreciating by the same amount.

That's why homeowners considering selling should look at recent comparable sales for their particular neighbourhood and property type rather than relying solely on the Sherwood Park-wide average.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio Slips Just Below 100%

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.998 in August, meaning properties sold for approximately 99.8% of asking price on average.

That is only slightly below full asking price, but it represents a change from earlier in the year when the average ratio was frequently above 1.0.

Year-to-date, the ratio remains 1.002, meaning the average Sherwood Park home sold at approximately 100.2% of its asking price across the first eight months of 2026.

Last year's YTD ratio was 1.011.

This suggests we're seeing a gradual normalization of negotiations.

Sellers are still achieving strong results, but buyers aren't necessarily having to pay above asking price as frequently as they did during tighter market conditions.

Average Days on Market

Days on Market Increase to 40

Sherwood Park homes took an average of 40 days to sell in August 2026, a 29.03% increase compared with last August.

The year-to-date trend is similar.

Homes have averaged 35 days on market in 2026, compared with 29 days last year, an increase of 20.69%.

We've now seen this trend developing for several months: homes are still selling, and prices remain healthy, but buyers are generally taking longer to make decisions.

That matters for sellers.

The market is becoming less forgiving of aggressive pricing. A home that comes onto the market significantly above comparable sales may lose valuable early exposure and eventually require a price adjustment.

On the other hand, a home that is priced correctly, prepared well and marketed professionally can still attract strong interest.

For buyers, longer selling times can provide opportunities—particularly when looking at properties that have been available for several weeks.

Sherwood Park Year-to-Date Comparison – 2026 vs. 2025

The year-to-date numbers give us a better picture of the overall 2026 market. Despite August's slowdown, sales, listings and prices are all still running ahead of last year's levels.

What Do August's Numbers Mean?

August gives us a particularly interesting combination of market indicators.

Sales fell 20.66%.

New listings declined 7.01%.

Days on market increased 29.03%.

Yet the average sale price still increased 2.16%.

That isn't the picture of a collapsing market, nor is it the highly competitive seller's market we experienced at certain points in previous years.

Instead, Sherwood Park appears to be moving toward more balanced conditions.

Buyers are taking longer and negotiating slightly more, while sellers continue to benefit from property values that remain higher than last year.

What This Means for Sherwood Park Buyers

For buyers, the late-summer market could provide opportunities.

With homes averaging 40 days on market, there may be more time to properly evaluate properties, review comparables and conduct due diligence rather than feeling pressured to make an immediate decision.

Properties that have been listed for several weeks may also provide opportunities for negotiation.

However, buyers shouldn't assume every home will be negotiable.

A desirable property that is priced correctly can still sell quickly, particularly in sought-after Sherwood Park neighbourhoods and popular price ranges.

Mortgage pre-approval and a clear understanding of your budget remain important before beginning your search.

What This Means for Sherwood Park Sellers

For sellers, the numbers are still encouraging—but the strategy is changing.

The average sale price remains above last year, and fewer new properties came onto the market in August. Both can work in a seller's favour.

However, the increase in days on market indicates buyers are becoming more selective.

This makes the first few weeks of a listing particularly important.

Accurate pricing, professional photography, strong online exposure, property preparation and showing condition can all influence how quickly a home sells and how close the final sale price comes to asking.

Sherwood Park Fall 2026 Market Outlook

September and October should give us a clearer picture of where the Sherwood Park market is heading.

The key question will be whether August's decline in sales continues.

If sales rebound while new listings remain relatively low, inventory could tighten and maintain upward pressure on desirable properties.

If sales remain slower and days on market continue increasing, buyers could gain additional negotiating power through the fall.

For now, the year-to-date statistics remain positive: sales are up 1.61%, average sale prices are up 2.65%, and new listings are up 3.19% compared with 2025.

Those aren't dramatic increases, but they point to a market that has remained relatively stable despite changing conditions.

Sherwood Park New Construction Market

New construction remains an important part of the Sherwood Park housing market, particularly for buyers comparing newer communities and quick-possession homes with established resale properties.

Last month, we saw a particularly strong July new-construction market, with 16 sales compared with 10 in July 2025.

For August, I'll keep the detailed new-construction analysis separate until we have the August 2025 and August 2026 builder sales numbers. That way, we're comparing the correct month rather than carrying July's figures forward.

When evaluating new construction, buyers should also look beyond the base purchase price and compare what is included in the home, possession timing, landscaping, appliances, window coverings, upgrades and other potential costs.

Having REALTOR® representation before first visiting a showhome can also help buyers compare new construction with resale alternatives and understand the complete purchase.

Final Thoughts on the August 2026 Sherwood Park Real Estate Market

August brought a noticeable change of pace to Sherwood Park real estate.

Only 96 homes sold, down more than 20% from last August, while homes took an average of 40 days to sell.

At the same time, the average sale price increased to $520,000, and year-to-date property values remain 2.65% higher than last year. Through August, Sherwood Park has also recorded 1,012 sales, keeping 2026 slightly ahead of 2025 overall.

For buyers, the changing pace could create more time and negotiating opportunities.

For sellers, strong property values remain encouraging, but accurate pricing and effective marketing are becoming increasingly important.

The Sherwood Park market isn't moving in one simple direction—which is exactly why looking at the complete set of statistics matters.

Devon Real Estate Market Update: August 2026

The Devon, Alberta real estate market slowed considerably in August 2026, with fewer homes selling and fewer new listings coming onto the market compared with August 2025. However, underneath that decline in activity, home values continued to show strength.

Only 5 properties sold in Devon during August, a 66.67% decrease from the same month last year. Yet the average sale price reached $404,000, 6.48% higher than August 2025. Year-to-date, the pricing trend is even more pronounced, with Devon's average sale price sitting at $445,000 — 14.71% higher than the same period in 2025.

At the same time, homes took substantially longer to sell in August, and the gap between asking and selling prices widened. For buyers and sellers, these numbers point toward a Devon market that requires a little more patience and a much more careful approach to pricing.

August 2026 Devon Real Estate Market Snapshot

Devon New  MLS® Listings

New Listings Decline, but YTD Supply Is Unchanged

There were 12 new listings in Devon during August, representing a 25% decrease compared with August 2025.

Interestingly, the year-to-date numbers tell a very different story.

Through the end of August, 118 properties have been newly listed in Devon in 2026 — exactly the same number as during the same period in 2025.

That means the reduction in sales hasn't been caused by a dramatic increase in the number of properties coming onto the market. Instead, buyers simply haven't absorbed those listings as quickly as they did last year.

For sellers, this makes understanding your direct competition particularly important. Buyers may have more time to compare properties, even though the overall flow of new listings hasn't increased year-over-year.

Average List Price

Average Asking Price Reaches $479,000

The average asking price in Devon was $479,000 in August, representing a 6.65% increase compared with August 2025.

Year-to-date, the increase is considerably larger. The average asking price sits at $485,000 in 2026 compared with $410,000 last year, an increase of 18.29%.

This continues a trend we've been following throughout 2026: sellers are bringing properties to market at considerably higher price points than they were last year.

As always, average asking price doesn't mean every Devon home has increased in value by 18%. Changes in the mix of properties being listed — including size, age, condition and price range — can have a meaningful impact on the average.

However, actual sale prices are also substantially higher year-to-date, supporting the broader trend toward stronger home values.

Devon Home Sales

Home Sales Slow Considerably in August

Devon recorded just 5 residential sales in August 2026, compared with 15 in August 2025. That's a substantial 66.67% year-over-year decline.

It also continues the slowdown we saw in July. According to the sales chart on the report's single page, Devon recorded 22 sales in June, 10 in July and 5 in August, showing a pronounced reduction in transaction activity through the latter part of the summer.

Year-to-date, 88 homes have sold in Devon, compared with 98 through August 2025, putting overall sales activity 10.20% behind last year's pace.

That is a more useful comparison than looking at August alone. Devon is certainly experiencing fewer transactions in 2026, but the year-to-date decline is much less dramatic than August's monthly number suggests.

It is also worth remembering that Devon is a relatively small real estate market. With only five transactions during August, one or two additional sales can make a large difference to monthly percentages.

Average Sale Price

Average Sale Price Remains Higher Than Last Year

Despite the slowdown in transactions, the average sale price in August was $404,000, which was 6.48% higher than August 2025.

Even more notable is the year-to-date comparison.

Through August, Devon's average sale price is $445,000, compared with $388,000 during the same period in 2025. That's an increase of 14.71%.

That distinction is important.

Devon is seeing fewer sales but higher average prices.

The report's monthly price chart also illustrates how much Devon's average selling price has fluctuated from month to month. In a smaller market, the types and price ranges of the handful of homes selling in a particular month can have an outsized effect on the average.

For that reason, I would place more emphasis on the $445,000 YTD average than on August's $404,000 monthly figure when evaluating the broader direction of the market.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows More Negotiation

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.972 in August, meaning homes sold for approximately 97.2% of asking price on average.

Year-to-date, homes have sold for approximately 98.7% of asking, compared with 99.9% during the same period last year.

The difference isn't enormous, but it reinforces what we're seeing elsewhere in the statistics: buyers have gained some negotiating room.

With longer selling timelines and fewer completed transactions, sellers may need to be more receptive to reasonable offers, particularly if their property has been on the market for an extended period.

Average Days on Market

Days on Market Jumps to 147 Days

The most eye-catching number in August's report is undoubtedly 147 days on market, representing a 406.90% increase compared with August 2025.

That is a dramatic number, but it needs context.

Only five homes sold during August, so a few properties that had been listed for an extended period could heavily influence the monthly average.

The year-to-date figure gives us a more reliable indication of the broader trend. Devon homes have taken an average of 51 days to sell in 2026, compared with 31 days in 2025, an increase of 64.52%.

So while I wouldn't conclude that a typical Devon home now requires 147 days to sell, there is clear evidence that selling timelines have lengthened overall in 2026.

For sellers, that means patience and pricing strategy are increasingly important.
