For buyers and sellers planning their next move in this beautiful rural region west of Edmonton, the February statistics provide a useful snapshot of how the market is shaping up heading into the spring season.

🏷️ Inventory Drops Significantly
A key factor shaping the market right now is low inventory.
In February 2026 there were 31 new listings, which represents a 29.55% decrease from February 2025
Year-to-date:
This reduction in available homes could have an important impact as the spring market begins. If demand increases while inventory remains limited, prices could stabilize or begin rising again.
📈 Sellers Continue to List at Higher Prices
While sale prices dipped, average asking prices remained strong.
The average asking price in February 2026 was $531,000, which is a 2.27% increase compared to February 2025
Year-to-date asking price:
This indicates that sellers remain confident in rural property values, even though some homes may still negotiate below list price.
📉 Sales Activity Slows Compared to 2025
In February 2026, 14 properties were sold in Rural Lac Ste. Anne County, representing a 22.22% decrease compared to February 2025
Year-to-date:
This decline reflects a quieter start to the year, which is not unusual for rural real estate markets in Alberta during the winter months. Many buyers delay their search until the spring thaw, when inventory increases and rural properties are easier to view.
Despite the slower start, activity typically increases quickly in March and April as acreage buyers re-enter the market.
💰 Average Sale Price Declines Year-Over-Year
The average sale price in February 2026 was $382,000, a 17.25% decrease compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date:
This decrease likely reflects the mix of properties sold, which may have included smaller homes, vacant land, or lower-priced rural properties. Because monthly sales volumes are relatively small, even a few different property types can significantly impact the average price.
Overall, the long-term trend in Lac Ste. Anne still shows strong interest in rural living, particularly from buyers relocating from Edmonton.
🤝 Negotiation Strength Improves
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February 2026 was 98.1%, an increase of 2.20% compared to February 2025
Year-to-date:
This means buyers are paying much closer to asking price than they were a year ago.
Even though fewer homes sold this month, sellers are achieving stronger pricing relative to list price, which suggests steady buyer demand for well-priced properties.
⏱️ Days on Market Increase Monthly but Improve YTD
The average days on market in February 2026 was 88 days, a 22.22% increase compared to February 2025
However, the year-to-date trend actually shows improvement:
This suggests that homes listed this year are generally selling much faster than last year’s early-season listings, which is a positive indicator for sellers entering the market.
📈 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 24 | 30 | ↓ 20.00% |
| Average Asking Price | $549,000 | $531,000 | ↑ 3.47% |

The Devon real estate market continued to evolve in February 2026 with increased listing activity, rising asking prices, and a slight cooling in monthly sale prices. While sales volume remained steady compared to February of last year, the broader year-to-date numbers reveal a market adjusting as more inventory enters the market ahead of the spring buying season.
For buyers and sellers watching the Devon housing market closely, the February statistics provide valuable insight into how the market is shaping up for what could be a very active spring.

Listings Surge as Sellers Enter the Market
One of the most notable shifts in February is the increase in new listings.
Devon saw 18 new listings in February, representing a 157.14% increase compared to February 2025. Year-to-date, 31 homes have been listed, compared to just 12 during the same period last year.
This surge in listings suggests that many homeowners are preparing to capitalize on strong pricing trends and increased buyer interest expected in the coming months.
For buyers, the increase in inventory is welcome news, offering more selection and potentially reducing some of the competition that characterized earlier markets.
Asking Prices Continue to Rise
The average asking price in Devon climbed to $537,000 in February, representing an 11.86% increase compared to February 2025.
Even more striking is the year-to-date average asking price of $530,000, which is 27.68% higher than the same period last year.
This sharp increase suggests that sellers are highly confident in the market and that the mix of homes being listed may include larger or more upgraded properties.
It also reflects the ongoing demand for homes in communities like Devon, where buyers can find more space and value compared to many Edmonton neighbourhoods.
Sales Activity Holds Steady
Devon recorded 7 home sales in February 2026, matching the number of sales from February 2025. While this flat performance may seem modest, it’s actually typical for late winter, when weather and seasonal patterns tend to slow buyer movement.
However, when we look at the year-to-date numbers, sales are currently down 15% compared to the same time last year, with 17 homes sold so far in 2026 compared to 20 in early 2025.
This slight slowdown doesn’t necessarily signal a weaker market. Instead, it may reflect a temporary pause as buyers evaluate rising prices and wait for more listings to appear ahead of the spring market.
Sale Prices Show Short-Term Adjustment
Despite rising asking prices, the average sale price in February came in at $378,000, which represents a 5.70% decrease from February 2025.
This short-term dip may reflect a shift in the types of homes that sold during the month or increased negotiating power for buyers.
However, the year-to-date sale price remains strong at $447,000, which is 6.06% higher than last year. This suggests that overall home values in Devon continue to trend upward even if monthly fluctuations occur.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows Balanced Negotiation
In February, the average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.975, meaning homes sold for approximately 97.5% of their asking price.
This represents a slight decline from last year, suggesting buyers have a bit more negotiating room when submitting offers.
Still, the year-to-date ratio of 0.986 indicates that homes are selling very close to list price overall — a sign of a balanced and stable market.
Homes Taking Slightly Longer to Sell
The average days on market in February increased to 55 days, a 19.57% rise compared to February 2025.
While this increase suggests that buyers may be taking more time to make decisions, the broader yearly trend tells a different story.
Year-to-date, homes are selling in 47 days on average, which is actually 26.56% faster than the same period last year.
This means that although February was slightly slower, the overall pace of the market remains healthy.

What This Means for Sellers
For homeowners considering listing their property this spring, the February statistics offer encouraging signs.
Preparing your home early and entering the market ahead of peak spring competition could position sellers very well.
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers, February’s numbers indicate that more opportunities may be emerging.
The increase in listings means buyers are starting to see more options, which can reduce pressure and bidding competition.
However, the strong year-to-date sale prices and rising asking prices suggest that waiting too long could mean paying more later in the year if demand continues to increase.
Buyers who are prepared with financing and ready to act quickly may still find excellent opportunities before the spring rush fully arrives.
Devon’s Long-Term Appeal
Devon continues to attract buyers looking for a balance between affordability, lifestyle, and proximity to Edmonton.
The community offers:
These factors continue to drive consistent demand for homes in the area.
Market Outlook for Spring 2026
Based on the February data, the Devon real estate market appears to be preparing for a busy spring.
Key indicators include:
If interest rates remain stable and inventory continues to grow, Devon could see a very competitive spring market with strong sales activity and continued price growth.

The Edmonton condo market continued to evolve in February 2026 as the city gradually moved closer to the spring real estate season. While sales activity remained lower than the same time last year, inventory increased significantly and prices remained relatively stable. These factors combined to create a market that currently offers opportunity for buyers while still maintaining solid long-term value for sellers and investors.
Edmonton apartment-style condos remain one of the most affordable entry points into the housing market, making them particularly attractive for first-time buyers, students, and investors. February’s statistics highlight a market that is adjusting after the strong activity seen in previous years, but one that continues to demonstrate resilience.
| Metric | February 2026 | Change vs Feb 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 232 | -10.08% |
| Average Asking Price | $237,000 | +2.65% |

| Days on Market | 97 | +19.75% |
| Average Sale Price | $207,000 | -1.94% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.956 | -0.94% |

Inventory Rises as New Listings Increase
One of the most notable shifts in the February condo market is the increase in new listings. A total of 529 new apartment condos were listed for sale in February, which represents a 20.78% increase compared to February 2025.
This increase in inventory gives buyers more options and contributes to longer decision timelines. As more listings enter the market, sellers must ensure their property stands out through competitive pricing, strong photography, and appealing staging.
Rising inventory is common at this time of year as homeowners prepare for the spring selling season.
Sellers Adjust Asking Prices
The average asking price in February was $237,000, which is 2.65% higher than the same time last year. This indicates that many sellers remain confident in their property values despite the slower winter market.
However, the gap between asking price and selling price shows that buyers are still negotiating. Sellers who price their condos competitively tend to attract stronger interest and ultimately achieve better results.
Strategic pricing continues to be one of the most important factors when selling a condo in Edmonton’s current market conditions.
Condo Sales Activity in Edmonton
In February 2026, 232 apartment-style condos sold in Edmonton, representing a 10.08% decrease compared to February 2025. While this decline may initially appear significant, it is important to consider the broader seasonal context.
Winter months typically see lower transaction volume as many buyers wait until spring to begin their home search. The February report also shows that sales activity improved compared to January levels, suggesting that momentum is slowly building as the market approaches the busy spring season.
Lower sales volume can actually benefit buyers because it reduces competition and allows for more negotiation flexibility. For sellers, it highlights the importance of proper pricing and strong marketing strategies.
Average Condo Sale Prices Remain Stable
The average sale price for an Edmonton apartment condo in February was $207,000, which represents a 1.94% decrease compared to February 2025. Despite this small decline, condo values remain relatively stable overall.
Over the past several years, Edmonton’s condo market has demonstrated steady price stability compared to many other major Canadian cities. This consistency is one of the reasons Edmonton continues to attract real estate investors looking for long-term value.
While monthly fluctuations occur, the overall price trend remains relatively balanced and reflects a market that is adjusting rather than declining.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows Balanced Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio for February was 0.956, meaning condos sold for about 95.6% of their asking price. This ratio reflects a balanced market where buyers have room to negotiate but sellers are still achieving strong values. The Edmonton condo market is not experiencing heavy discounting, which is a positive sign for long-term price stability.
Condos Are Taking Longer to Sell
The average days on market increased to 97 days, which is 19.75% longer than the same time last year. This means condos are now taking just over three months to sell on average.
Longer days on market are often seen during winter months when buyer activity is slower. However, properties that are priced correctly and marketed effectively can still sell much faster than the average.
For sellers, this statistic highlights the importance of launching listings with the right pricing strategy rather than making multiple price reductions later.
Below is a summary of the year-to-date condo statistics for 2026 compared to 2025.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 393 | 519 | -24.28% |
| Average Asking Price | $238,000 | $248,000 | -4.01% |
| New Listings | 966 | 886 | +9.03% |
| Days on Market | 100 | 85 | +17.65% |
| Average Sale Price | $210,000 | $208,000 | +1.25% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.957 | 0.964 | -0.76% |

What This Means for Buyers
The February market offers several advantages for buyers looking at Edmonton condos. Increased inventory means there are more choices available across different neighbourhoods and price ranges. Buyers may also have more negotiating flexibility because properties are taking longer to sell.
This can be an excellent time for first-time buyers to enter the market, particularly those seeking affordable housing options near downtown, the University of Alberta, or major transit routes.
What This Means for Sellers
Although the number of sales is lower compared to last year, condos that are priced properly and marketed effectively are still selling. Sellers should focus on presenting their property well and ensuring their pricing aligns with current market conditions.
As we move closer to the spring market, activity is expected to increase. Sellers who prepare their property early may benefit from increased buyer demand in the coming months.
Edmonton Condo Market Outlook for Spring 2026
Looking ahead, the Edmonton condo market appears to be gradually building toward the spring real estate season. Increased listings suggest that more sellers are preparing to enter the market, while improving weather and buyer confidence could help boost activity.
Edmonton continues to offer strong value compared to other Canadian housing markets, making condos an attractive option for both homeowners and investors.

The Fort Saskatchewan real estate market in February 2026 continued to evolve as the early spring housing season began to take shape. February is often the month when buyer activity starts to increase following the slower winter market, and this year was no exception. While sales activity remained lower compared to February 2025, the market showed signs of growing momentum through increased listings, rising asking prices, and stable sale prices.
For both buyers and sellers, February’s numbers provide important insights into where the market may be headed for the busy spring real estate season.
Overall, the data suggests that Fort Saskatchewan remains a balanced and resilient housing market, offering steady price growth and expanding inventory as we move toward the peak buying months of the year.

New Listings: Inventory Expands Ahead of Spring Market
One of the most notable changes in February was the increase in new listings. 84 homes were listed for sale, representing a 21.74% increase compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date, 157 homes have been listed, up 9.03% compared to the same time last year.
This growth in inventory suggests that more homeowners are preparing to sell as the spring market approaches. Increased listing activity is a common trend as sellers aim to take advantage of rising buyer activity in March, April, and May.
For buyers, the increase in listings provides more options and greater flexibility when searching for a home. For sellers, the growing inventory means that pricing and presentation will play an increasingly important role in attracting buyers.
Average Asking Price: Sellers Show Growing Confidence
The average asking price in February 2026 reached $500,000, representing an 8.50% increase compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $477,000, which is 4.88% higher than the same period in 2025.
This increase indicates that sellers remain confident in Fort Saskatchewan’s long-term housing market. The city continues to offer a combination of affordability, community amenities, and proximity to Edmonton that appeals to both families and investors.
However, rising asking prices also mean buyers may be more selective. Listings priced above market value may experience longer days on market as buyers compare options more carefully.
Sales Activity: Transactions Decline Year-Over-Year
In February 2026, 53 homes sold in Fort Saskatchewan, representing a 14.52% decrease compared to February 2025. Year-to-date, the market recorded 87 sales, which is 20.91% lower than the same period last year.
While this decline may initially appear significant, it reflects a broader trend seen across many markets early in 2026. Buyers have become more deliberate in their decision-making as mortgage affordability remains a key factor in the purchasing process.
However, it is important to note that buyer demand has not disappeared. Instead, many buyers are taking more time to evaluate properties, negotiate terms, and ensure their financing aligns with long-term financial goals.
Historically, February often serves as a transition month, where the market shifts from winter inactivity toward the increased pace of the spring real estate season.
Average Sale Price: Stable Growth Despite Slower Sales
The average sale price in February 2026 was $424,000, representing a 0.93% increase compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date, the average sale price reached $442,000, up 1.55% compared to last year.
Although the increase is modest, it demonstrates that Fort Saskatchewan home values remain stable, even during a period of reduced sales volume.
Stable sale prices often indicate that supply and demand remain relatively balanced. Buyers are still willing to pay fair market value for desirable properties, particularly those that are well-maintained and located in popular neighbourhoods.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Returns to the Market
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 0.990, meaning homes sold for approximately 99% of their asking price.
This represents a 0.80% decrease compared to February 2025, when homes were selling slightly closer to list price.
Year-to-date, the ratio remains strong at 0.990, although slightly lower than last year’s 0.997.
In practical terms, this means buyers are negotiating modest discounts, but sellers are still achieving very close to their asking prices. This is a hallmark of a balanced housing market rather than a buyer’s or seller’s market.
Days on Market: Homes Taking Longer to Sell
Homes took longer to sell in February 2026, with the average days on market increasing to 81 days, compared to 45 days in February 2025 — an 80% increase.
Year-to-date, homes have averaged 79 days on market, which is 27.42% longer than the same period last year.
Several factors may be contributing to this change:
• Increased listing inventory
• Buyers taking more time to make decisions
• Mortgage affordability considerations
While longer days on market may seem concerning, it can also indicate a more balanced housing market where buyers have time to conduct inspections, review financing, and negotiate effectively.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sold Properties | 87 | 110 | -20.91% |
| New Listings | 157 | 144 | +9.03% |
| Average Asking Price | $477,000 | $455,000 | +4.88% |
| Average Sale Price | $442,000 | $435,000 | +1.55% |
| Days on Market | 79 | 62 | +27.42% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.990 | 0.997 | -0.72% |
What February’s Numbers Mean for Buyers
For buyers considering entering the Fort Saskatchewan market, February’s data suggests several opportunities.
First, increased listings mean greater choice and less competition compared to previous years. Buyers may find it easier to schedule viewings, negotiate conditions, and take time evaluating properties.
Second, stable sale prices mean buyers are not facing rapid price increases, allowing them to plan their purchases with more confidence.
Finally, longer days on market may provide additional leverage when negotiating price or terms.
However, buyers should still be prepared. Well-priced homes in desirable neighbourhoods can still attract multiple offers, particularly as the spring market approaches.
What February’s Numbers Mean for Sellers
For sellers, February reinforces the importance of strategic pricing and strong presentation.
With more listings entering the market, buyers have more choices. Homes that are priced competitively and presented professionally will stand out and sell more quickly.
Sellers preparing to list this spring should consider:
• Completing minor repairs
• Enhancing curb appeal
• Decluttering and staging interior spaces
• Working with an experienced REALTOR® to develop a pricing strategy
The increase in asking prices suggests seller confidence, but accurate pricing will remain the key factor in attracting buyers.
Fort Saskatchewan Market Outlook for Spring 2026
Looking ahead, the Fort Saskatchewan real estate market appears poised for a moderate spring market.
Inventory levels are increasing, which will provide buyers with more options. At the same time, steady pricing trends suggest that the market remains fundamentally stable.
If buyer confidence continues to strengthen and interest rates remain relatively stable, the spring market could see:
• Increased sales activity
• Continued price stability
• Faster days on market as demand rises
Fort Saskatchewan remains one of the most attractive communities in the Edmonton region for buyers seeking affordability combined with strong community amenities.
Final Thoughts
The February 2026 Fort Saskatchewan real estate market highlights a housing market that is evolving but still stable. Sales activity declined compared to last year, but increased listings, rising asking prices, and steady sale prices demonstrate that the market remains healthy.
As we move closer to the spring real estate season, both buyers and sellers will likely see increased activity. For those considering making a move this year, staying informed about local market conditions will be key to making confident decisions.

New Listings in February
February saw 142 new listings come onto the market in St. Albert, which represents a 6.58% decrease compared to February 2025. Lower inventory can create increased competition among buyers, particularly in popular price ranges such as single-family homes between $450,000 and $650,000.
Year-to-date, there have been 256 new listings in 2026, compared to 272 during the same period last year, a 5.88% decrease. This reduction in listings may contribute to rising home prices if buyer demand continues to outpace supply heading into the spring market.
The average asking price in February 2026 was $560,000, representing a 6.05% increase compared to February 2025. This increase indicates that sellers are entering the market with strong pricing expectations. In many cases, homeowners are listing their properties at higher values because recent sales support those price levels.
Looking at the year-to-date numbers, the average asking price in St. Albert is currently $578,000, compared to $544,000 last year, an increase of 6.16%. These figures show that both buyers and sellers are adjusting to the upward pricing trend that began in 2025 and continues into 2026.
Homes Sold in February 2026
In February 2026, 97 homes sold in St. Albert, representing a 2.02% decrease compared to February 2025. While this small drop may appear noteworthy, it actually reflects a relatively stable level of activity for the time of year. February is still considered part of the winter market, when real estate activity typically remains moderate before accelerating in the spring.
Looking at the year-to-date figures, a total of 160 homes have sold in 2026 so far, compared to 163 homes during the same period in 2025, a modest 1.84% decrease. This tells us that overall demand remains steady. Buyers are still active in the market, and the slight difference in sales volume is not indicative of a slowdown but rather typical seasonal fluctuations.
One of the most notable statistics from February 2026 is the increase in home values.
The average sale price reached $548,000, which represents a 13.67% increase compared to February 2025. This price growth reflects several key market factors:
On a year-to-date basis, the average sale price in St. Albert has climbed to $574,000, which is an impressive 18.17% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This suggests that the market is experiencing strong momentum early in 2026, particularly in higher-value homes and newer developments.
Average Ask-to-Sell Ratio
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February 2026 was 1.004, which means homes sold for approximately 100.4% of their asking price. This statistic shows that, on average, homes sold slightly above their list price, which often happens when demand is strong or when properties receive multiple offers.
For the year-to-date period, the average ratio is 0.998, compared to 1.003 in 2025, representing a slight 0.57% decrease. Even with this small shift, homes in St. Albert are still selling extremely close to their list prices, demonstrating a balanced and competitive market.
Homes in St. Albert spent an average of 52 days on the market in February 2026, which represents an 8.33% increase compared to February 2025.However, when looking at the year-to-date numbers, the average time to sell has increased more significantly.
So far in 2026, the average days on market is 67 days, compared to 47 days during the same period in 2025, representing a 42.55% increase.
There are several potential reasons for this increase:
Despite the longer selling timelines, homes are still selling at strong prices, which suggests the market remains healthy.

Sales volume is nearly unchanged, indicating stable demand.
Homes are taking longer to sell early in 2026, which is typical during the winter market.
What These Numbers Mean for Buyers
For buyers looking to enter the St. Albert real estate market, February’s statistics reveal both opportunities and challenges.
Home prices have risen significantly, meaning buyers may need to adjust budgets or financing expectations. However, the increase in days on market suggests that buyers may have slightly more time to evaluate homes before making offers.
Lower inventory also means that well-priced homes in desirable neighbourhoods may attract strong interest.
Buyers who are prepared with mortgage pre-approval and a clear understanding of their budget will be best positioned to compete in the market.
What These Numbers Mean for Sellers
For homeowners thinking about selling, the February market conditions are encouraging.
Prices are rising, homes are still selling close to asking price, and demand remains steady despite seasonal fluctuations.
Sellers who list their homes ahead of the spring rush may benefit from less competition and strong buyer interest.
Strategic pricing, professional marketing, and high-quality presentation remain key factors in achieving the best possible sale price.

New Listings Increase as Spring Market Approaches
One of the biggest trends emerging in February is the increase in listing activity.
There were 1,110 new detached home listings in February, representing a 6.73% increase compared to the same month last year. Year-to-date, 2,040 new listings have entered the market, up 6.09% from early 2025.
This increase in inventory provides buyers with more choice and helps create a healthier balance between supply and demand. For sellers, however, this also means increased competition.
Homes that are priced accurately and presented well will continue to perform best.
Average Asking Price: Seller Confidence Remains Strong
In February, the average asking price rose to $638,000, a 2.20% increase year-over-year. This rise indicates that many homeowners remain confident about the value of their properties and the long-term outlook for Edmonton real estate.
Year-to-date, the average list price sits at $631,000, which is slightly higher than the same time last year. While sellers are optimistic, the market still requires strategic pricing to attract serious buyers.
Home Sales: Activity Picks Up From January
February saw 575 detached homes sold, representing a 9.16% decrease compared to February 2025. Although this represents a decline year-over-year, sales activity improved noticeably compared to January, suggesting that buyers are gradually returning to the market after the winter pause.
Several factors likely contributed to the softer sales numbers compared to last year:
• Interest rate uncertainty
• Buyers taking longer to make decisions
• Increased inventory giving buyers more options
However, the steady increase from January indicates that spring momentum is beginning to build.
The key question is whether this slowdown continues into February and March — or if this is simply a temporary seasonal dip.
Average Sale Price: Modest Growth Continues
The average sale price for detached homes in Edmonton reached $554,000 in February 2026, representing a 1.40% increase compared to February 2025. This price growth demonstrates that home values remain resilient despite slower sales activity.
Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $547,000, which is nearly identical to last year’s $548,000 average. This stability suggests the Edmonton housing market is not experiencing significant price volatility.
Instead, the market appears to be adjusting gradually, maintaining stable values while inventory levels increase.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Slightly More Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 0.984 in February, meaning homes sold for about 98.4% of their asking price.
Last year, homes were selling closer to full asking price.
This shift suggests buyers have gained slightly more negotiating power, particularly when homes have been on the market for longer periods.
Days on Market: Homes Taking Longer to Sell
Another notable shift in February was the increase in days on market, which rose to 76 days, a 38.18% increase compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date, the average is 80 days, compared to 64 days last year.
This does not necessarily indicate a weak market. Instead, it reflects a more patient buyer pool and increased inventory, giving buyers more time to compare homes before making a decision.
For sellers, it reinforces the importance of:
• Proper pricing
• Strong marketing
• High-quality listing presentation
📊 Edmonton Detached Homes – Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Homes Sold | 985 | 1,217 | ▼ 19.06% |
| Average Asking Price | $631,000 | $628,000 | ▲ 0.36% |
| Average Sale Price | $547,000 | $548,000 | ▼ 0.20% |
| New Listings | 2,040 | 1,920 | ▲ 6.09% |
| Days on Market | 80 | 64 | ▲ 25.00% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.981 | 0.996 | ▼ 1.53% |
Quick Market Interpretation
The year-to-date numbers show that Edmonton’s detached housing market is currently experiencing lower sales activity but stable pricing. While 19% fewer homes have sold compared to early 2025, prices have remained relatively steady, indicating the market is adjusting rather than declining. At the same time, new listings are up just over 6%, providing buyers with more options and contributing to longer days on market.
What This Means for Buyers
For buyers entering the Edmonton market, the February data offers several advantages.
More listings mean greater selection, and the slight increase in days on market allows buyers more time to evaluate properties carefully.
Buyers should still be prepared to act quickly on homes that are well-priced and located in desirable neighbourhoods, as these properties continue to attract strong interest.
What This Means for Sellers
Sellers can still achieve strong results in the Edmonton market, but success depends heavily on strategy.
Pricing your home competitively from the beginning is crucial, particularly as more homes enter the market.
Professional photography, staging, and strong online marketing will help your home stand out and attract serious buyers.
Looking Ahead to the Spring Market
February often marks the early stages of the spring real estate market in Edmonton. As we move into March and April, activity typically increases as more buyers begin searching for homes.
If listing activity continues to rise while buyer demand strengthens, the market could quickly shift back toward a more competitive environment.
Monitoring upcoming interest rate announcements and economic indicators will also play a role in shaping buyer confidence.
Final Thoughts
The February 2026 Edmonton detached housing market reflects a balanced and transitioning environment.
Sales activity remains slightly lower than last year, but prices have remained steady and listing activity is increasing. These trends suggest the market is stabilizing and preparing for a potentially active spring season.
Whether you are planning to buy your first home, upgrade to a larger property, or sell your current house, understanding these trends can help you make informed decisions.

2026 as the rural real estate sector adjusted to changing inventory levels and pricing trends. While the number of sales slowed compared to the same time last year, sellers are still entering the market with strong pricing expectations, and properties that are priced appropriately continue to attract buyers.
If you are thinking about buying or selling an acreage in Parkland County, understanding the latest market data can help you make informed decisions as we move into the busy spring real estate season.
📞 Have questions about your acreage or the current market? Call Chris Reid at (780) 717-5267.
February 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the February 2026 Parkland County Local Market Update
These numbers highlight a slower start to the year for acreage sales, but also demonstrate that the rural market remains active with new inventory entering ahead of the spring season.
Below Graphs Are Interactive
Inventory Levels: New Listings Decline
Parkland County saw 32 new acreage listings in February, representing a 36% drop compared to the same month last year
On a year-to-date basis:
This represents a 27.59% decrease in new listings.
Lower inventory can eventually create stronger competition among buyers, particularly once spring arrives and demand increases. Sellers considering listing their acreage may benefit from entering the market before inventory rises later in the year.
Average Asking Prices Continue to Climb
One of the most notable statistics in February was the increase in the average asking price. Acreage sellers listed properties at an average of $1.12 million, representing a 30.03% increase compared to February 2025.
Year-to-date, the average asking price sits at $1.07M, up 23.36% compared to $865K in early 2025.
This rise suggests sellers remain confident in the long-term value of rural real estate in Parkland County. Acreages offering modern homes, large shops, or proximity to Edmonton commuter routes are particularly desirable and often command premium prices.
Acreage Sales Slow Compared to Last Year
There were 10 properties sold in February, representing a 62.96% decrease from February 2025
. On a year-to-date basis, Parkland County recorded 27 sales in 2026 compared to 42 during the same period in 2025, a 35.71% decline.
This decrease in sales activity can often occur during winter months when fewer buyers are actively searching for rural properties. Many acreage buyers prefer to view properties once the snow melts, allowing them to better assess the land, landscaping, and outbuildings.
However, the slower sales pace also creates opportunities for buyers who are actively searching now, as competition is typically lower in the winter months.
Average Sale Price Adjusts From Last Year
While asking prices increased, the average sale price in February came in at $676K, a 19.30% decrease from February 2025
Year-to-date, the average sale price is $709K, compared to $842K during the same period in 2025, reflecting a 15.77% decline.
This shift does not necessarily indicate a weakening market. Instead, it likely reflects differences in the types of properties sold during each period. A few high-end acreage sales in early 2025 significantly boosted last year’s averages, which can make year-over-year comparisons appear dramatic.
Buyers Still Paying Close to Asking Price
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 0.975, meaning properties sold for about 97.5% of the asking price
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.985, slightly higher than 0.976 during the same period last year.
This indicates that properly priced acreages continue to attract strong offers, even in a slower winter market.
Days on Market Improve for February Sales
The average days on market in February was 72 days, which is 11.11% faster than February 2025
However, when looking at year-to-date numbers, properties are taking slightly longer to sell:
This represents a 12.37% increase.
Acreage properties often require longer marketing periods than city homes because buyers are evaluating additional factors such as land use, zoning, septic systems, water supply, and distance from services.
What This Means for Buyers
For acreage buyers, February can be an excellent time to explore the market. With fewer competing buyers and more negotiating flexibility, buyers may have opportunities that are harder to find during the spring rush.
Key advantages for buyers right now include:
What This Means for Sellers
For sellers considering listing an acreage in Parkland County, current conditions suggest a strategic opportunity heading into spring.
While winter sales were slower, inventory is also down significantly. This means well-priced properties can stand out in the market.
Preparing your property now—whether through staging, repairs, or professional marketing—can help position your acreage to attract buyers once the spring market accelerates.
Year-to-Date Comparison Chart
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |

Final Thoughts on the Parkland County Acreage Market
The February 2026 data shows a market that is transitioning toward the spring real estate season. Sales activity was lower than last year, but strong asking prices and steady buyer interest suggest that the acreage market remains stable.
With fewer listings entering the market and spring demand approaching, both buyers and sellers should keep a close eye on Parkland County real estate trends over the next few months.
If you're considering buying or selling an acreage in Parkland County this year, working with a local expert who understands rural property values can make a significant difference.

The Edmonton real estate market continued to evolve in February 2026, showing a mix of rising prices, increasing inventory, and slower transaction timelines compared to last year. While sales volume remains lower than the same period in 2025, price growth and listing activity signal that the market is transitioning toward a more balanced environment.
For buyers and sellers across the Greater Edmonton Area, understanding these trends is essential as we move closer to the spring market — historically the busiest time of year for real estate.
Below is a full breakdown of what happened in February and what it means for the Edmonton housing market moving forward.
Edmonton Housing Market Snapshot – February 2026
Here are the key residential real estate statistics for Edmonton in February 2026:
While sales activity declined slightly year-over-year, prices continued to climb and new inventory increased significantly.
Below Graphs Are Interactive.
New Listings Surge as Spring Market Approaches
February saw a significant increase in inventory, with 2,250 new listings entering the Edmonton market.
That represents an 11.83% increase compared to February 2025.
More inventory is a typical pattern as winter ends and sellers prepare to take advantage of spring demand.
This increase in listings creates:
The rising supply may also help moderate price growth later in the year, particularly if sales activity remains steady rather than accelerating dramatically.
Average Asking Price Reflects Seller Confidence
The average list price in February reached $485,000, a 1.61% increase year-over-year. This modest increase reflects growing seller confidence, especially as the spring market approaches.
Typically, homeowners preparing to sell in spring begin listing their properties between February and April. As a result, we often see asking prices gradually climb during this period.
However, pricing accuracy remains extremely important.
Homes priced correctly continue to sell quickly, while properties listed above market value tend to stay on the market longer.
Home Sales in Edmonton – February 2026
A total of 1,120 residential properties sold in Edmonton during February 2026, representing an 11.51% decrease compared to February 2025. While this drop may seem significant at first glance, it’s important to understand the broader context.
The early months of 2025 experienced unusually strong sales activity as buyers rushed into the market ahead of expected interest rate adjustments. That surge created a higher benchmark for comparison this year.
What we’re seeing in 2026 is not necessarily a weakening market, but rather a normalization of activity levels.
Buyers are still active, but they are:
This shift often happens when markets transition from intense seller conditions toward more balanced dynamics.
Average Sale Price Continues to Rise
Despite lower transaction volume, the average sale price climbed to $444,000 in February 2026, representing a 4.83% increase compared to February 2025. This continued price growth is one of the most important signals in the Edmonton market.
It indicates that:
Unlike some larger Canadian markets that have experienced volatile price swings, Edmonton has maintained a reputation for consistent, moderate growth.
For homeowners, this is excellent news.
For buyers, it reinforces the importance of entering the market sooner rather than later if long-term appreciation continues.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows More Negotiation
The average ask-to-sell ratio for February was 0.978, down slightly from the previous year.
This means homes sold for about 97.8% of their list price on average.
This small change suggests that:
Again, this reflects a market moving toward balance rather than a sharp correction.
Days on Market Increasing
One of the biggest changes in the February report was the increase in the average days on market, which rose to 80 days.
This represents a 45.45% increase compared to February 2025.
Longer selling times often reflect a market that is shifting away from the extremely competitive conditions seen in previous years.
Several factors can contribute to longer selling timelines:
However, this does not mean homes are not selling.
Rather, it means buyers have slightly more time to evaluate options, which is a healthier environment overall.
Year-to-Date Edmonton Market Comparison
Below is the year-to-date comparison for January and February combined.
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 1,930 | 2,460 | ↓ 21.65% |
| Average Asking Price | $483,000 | $480,000 | ↑ 0.50% |
| Average Sale Price | $438,000 | $424,000 | ↑ 3.31% |
| New Listings | 4,120 | 3,830 | ↑ 7.62% |
| Days on Market | 85 | 63 | ↑ 34.92% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.975 | 0.990 | ↓ 1.49% |
These numbers highlight an important shift in the Edmonton market.
Sales volume is down, but prices and listings are rising.
This combination suggests the market is stabilizing rather than weakening.
What This Means for Buyers in Edmonton
If you are planning to buy a home in Edmonton in 2026, current conditions may offer some advantages.
Buyers now have:
However, prices are still trending upward.
This means waiting too long could result in paying more later, particularly if spring demand strengthens as expected.
What This Means for Sellers
For homeowners considering selling, the February report reinforces the importance of preparation and pricing.
Successful sellers in today’s market are:
While homes may take slightly longer to sell compared to previous years, strong pricing and presentation can still produce excellent results.
Edmonton Real Estate Outlook for Spring 2026
Looking ahead, the Edmonton market is expected to become more active as we move into the spring buying season.
Several factors could influence the market:
If these trends continue, Edmonton may see increased demand through the spring and summer months.

The Spruce Grove real estate market continued to show signs of a more balanced market as we moved through February 2026. While sales activity remained lower than the same time last year, pricing held relatively steady and inventory levels stayed consistent. These trends suggest that buyers and sellers alike are adjusting to current market conditions as we approach the busy spring real estate season.
If you’re considering buying or selling in Spruce Grove this year, understanding the latest numbers can help you make informed decisions.
📊 February 2026 Market Snapshot
According to the February 2026 Spruce Grove Local Market Update, the key statistics for the month include:
Year-to-date statistics for the first two months of the year show:
These numbers provide a helpful snapshot of how the Spruce Grove housing market is performing so far in 2026.
The below graphs are interactive
📦 New Listings: Inventory Holding Steady
February saw 123 new listings enter the Spruce Grove market, only a 1.60% decrease compared to February 2025
Year-to-date, 239 homes have been listed, slightly lower than the 244 listings recorded during the same time last year.
This relatively stable inventory level means buyers continue to have a reasonable selection of homes to choose from. Unlike the extremely tight inventory conditions seen in previous years, today’s market allows buyers to evaluate options more carefully before making an offer.
For sellers, this means that pricing and presentation remain key factors in attracting buyers and reducing time on market.
💰 Average Asking Price: Slight Increase Month-to-Month
The average asking price in February 2026 was $494,000, representing a 2.54% increase from February 2025
However, when we look at the year-to-date numbers, the average asking price sits at $507,000, which is 1.92% lower than the same period in 2025.
This indicates that while individual listings may be priced higher month-to-month, overall seller expectations have moderated slightly compared to last year.
Pricing accurately from the beginning continues to be one of the most important strategies for sellers in today’s market.
🏠 Sales Activity: Slight Slowdown Compared to Last Year
In February 2026, 69 homes sold, representing a 12.66% decrease compared to February 2025
Looking at the year-to-date figures, 124 homes have sold so far in 2026, compared to 146 during the same period last year — a 15.07% decline.
This reduction in sales volume reflects a market where buyers are taking more time to make decisions. Factors such as interest rates, affordability, and increased inventory are all contributing to slightly slower transaction activity compared to early 2025.
However, lower sales volume does not necessarily mean a weak market. Instead, it suggests a shift toward a more balanced environment, where buyers have more options and sellers need to price homes competitively.
📈 Average Sale Price: Holding Strong Despite Market Shift
The average sale price for February 2026 was $477,000, which is 3.05% lower than February 2025
However, the year-to-date average sale price of $484,000 is actually 1.38% higher than last year.
This is an important takeaway.
Although monthly fluctuations occur, the overall trend shows that home values in Spruce Grove remain resilient. Well-priced homes that are properly marketed continue to attract buyers and achieve solid sale prices.
⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Returning to the Market
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 0.991, meaning homes sold for about 99.1% of their list price on average
.
This is a 1.20% decline compared to February 2025, indicating slightly more room for negotiation between buyers and sellers.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.987 compared to 1.001 last year, further supporting the trend toward a more balanced market where buyers may have more leverage during negotiations.
⏳ Days on Market: Homes Taking Longer to Sell
Homes in Spruce Grove took 82 days on average to sell in February, representing a 10.81% increase compared to February 2025
Looking at year-to-date data, the average days on market has increased significantly compared to last year, rising from 68 days to 82 days — a 20.59% increase.
This longer selling timeline reflects a market where buyers are more cautious and deliberate.
For sellers, this reinforces the importance of:
📊 YTD Comparison: 2026 vs 2025
| Metric | 2026 YTD | 2025 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 124 | 146 | ↓ 15.07% |
| Average Asking Price | $507,000 | $517,000 | ↓ 1.92% |
| Average Sale Price | $484,000 | $477,000 | ↑ 1.38% |

New Listings Begin to Increase
February saw 50 new listings enter the Stony Plain market, representing a 6.38% increase compared to last year. However, year-to-date listings are still slightly lower overall:
This small decline indicates that inventory remains relatively tight, which may continue supporting property values as buyer activity increases in the coming months.
More listings typically begin appearing in March and April as the spring market ramps up.
Average Asking Price Shows Strong Growth
The average asking price in February reached $454,000, representing an 11.68% increase compared to February 2025.
On a year-to-date basis, the average asking price sits at $455,000, up 6.37% from the same period last year.

Home Sales Decline Compared to Last Year
A total of 27 homes sold in February 2026, representing a 15.63% decrease from February 2025.
Looking at the broader picture, 48 homes have sold year-to-date, compared to 69 at the same point in 2025, a 30.43% decline.
While this may seem significant, it’s important to note that the early months of the year typically have fewer transactions as buyers wait for more inventory to appear in spring.
Lower sales early in the year often reflect seasonal market cycles rather than long-term shifts in demand.
Average Sale Price Dips in February
The average sale price in February 2026 was $388,000, representing a 9.57% decrease compared to February 2025.
However, the year-to-date average sale price tells a more encouraging story:
That represents a 6.68% increase year-over-year, confirming that overall property values in Stony Plain continue to trend upward despite short-term monthly fluctuations.
Monthly changes in average sale price are often influenced by the type and price range of homes sold during that specific month.
Ask-to-Sell Ratio Indicates Slightly Softer Negotiations
The average ask-to-sell ratio in February was 97.7%, meaning homes sold for slightly below asking price on average.
Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 98.3%, slightly below last year’s 99.3%.
This suggests that buyers currently have a bit more negotiating power compared to the competitive conditions seen earlier in 2025.
Days on Market Holds Steady for February
Homes in Stony Plain took an average of 57 days to sell in February, which is unchanged from February 2025.
However, year-to-date figures show a noticeable difference:
This represents a 33.33% increase in the time it takes homes to sell so far this year.
This shift may reflect buyers taking more time to evaluate properties, as well as the smaller number of active buyers during winter months.
