Fort Saskatchewan New MLS® Listings
📥 New Listings: Inventory Tightens Slightly
Fort Saskatchewan saw 75 new listings in September 2025 — just 1.32% fewer than last year. Year-to-date, 749 properties have been listed, a 2.35% decline from 767 in 2024.
While these drops are modest, they contribute to a leaner inventory landscape. Fewer listings can intensify competition among buyers, especially in sought-after neighbourhoods. Sellers should still expect buyer interest, especially if their home is move-in ready and well-priced.
Fort Saskatchewan Average List Price
💵 Average Asking Price: A Surprising September Spike
In a twist from recent months, the average asking price in September 2025 rose to $493,000, up 4.13% year-over-year. This is a rare moment where seller expectations climbed despite sales volume falling.
While higher asking prices can reflect increased confidence from sellers, this surge may also be skewed by a greater share of higher-end homes entering the market. It’s important to note that year-to-date, the average asking price is still down 2.89%, sitting at $461,000.
For sellers, this underscores the importance of pricing based on active comparables — not just historical peaks. For buyers, it’s a reminder to look carefully at what features and locations justify premium pricing.
Fort Saskatchewan Home Sales
🏘️ Sold Properties: Sales Volume Slides in September
One of the most striking changes this month is the steep decline in the number of homes sold. September 2025 recorded only 46 sold properties, a 37.84% drop compared to the same month last year. Year-to-date, 575 homes have sold in 2025 — down 9.73% from 637 in 2024.
This decline could be attributed to a mix of seasonal slowdown, buyer fatigue, and higher borrowing costs. While summer often sees a flurry of activity, fall can usher in more caution among buyers, especially in a market where pricing trends are mixed and mortgage rates remain a factor.
Fort Saskatchewan Average Home Sale Price
💰 Average Sale Price: Monthly Dip, Annual Strength
The average sale price in September 2025 was $450,000, a 4.24% decrease from September 2024. However, year-to-date figures paint a more optimistic picture: the YTD average sale price is $463,000, up 4.62% over the same period last year.
What does this mean? While September may have seen more sales in the mid-range and fewer luxury transactions, the broader market has actually performed well in 2025. Buyers are still willing to pay for value, and well-maintained homes in desirable locations continue to command strong offers.
📊 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Still Realizing Near-Full Value
September’s average ask-to-sell ratio was 0.990, meaning homes sold for 99% of their list price — a 0.23% drop from last year. While this may suggest slightly more negotiation power for buyers, the year-to-date ratio remains strong at 0.999, up 0.75% compared to 2024.
This shows that most sellers are still achieving close to what they’re asking, particularly if the property is well-prepared, appropriately priced, and marketed effectively.
Average Days on Market
⏱️ Days on Market: Slower Than Summer, Faster Than 2024
Homes took an average of 49 days to sell in September 2025, up 8.89% from the 45-day average in September 2024. This monthly increase is seasonal and not unexpected, as fall buyers tend to move more cautiously.
However, on a year-to-date basis, the average DOM is 45 days, which is 23.73% faster than last year. That’s a significant improvement and signals that when homes are priced correctly, they still move relatively quickly — even as the seasons shift.
📊 Market Snapshot – September 2025 at a Glance
| Metric | 2025 YTD | 2024 YTD | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 575 | 637 | ↓ 9.73% |
| Average Asking Price | $461,000 | $475,000 | ↓ 2.89% |
| New Listings | 749 | 767 | ↓ 2.35% |
| Days on Market | 45 | 59 | ↓ 23.73% |
| Average Sale Price | $463,000 | $442,000 | ↑ 4.62% |
| Ask-to-Sell Ratio | 0.999 | 0.992 | ↑ 0.75% |
🧠 What This Means for Buyers
While the market pace has moderated, buyers now have more time to think through their decisions. However, inventory remains slightly below last year’s levels, and well-priced homes are still selling relatively quickly.
Top buyer tips for September and Q4 2025:
- Stay pre-approved. Mortgage conditions are still changing, and rate holds can make a difference.
- Act decisively if you find the right home — properties in top shape are still getting attention.
- Look for opportunity in price adjustments. With sales volume down, some sellers may be more flexible.
🧠 What This Means for Sellers
Despite fewer overall sales in September, seller conditions remain favourable — particularly for move-in-ready homes in high-demand areas.
Top seller strategies for the fall market:
- Price strategically. Don't overreach based on the rising ask prices — align with comparable sold listings.
- Invest in presentation. Homes that are clean, decluttered, and staged continue to sell faster.
- Expect longer timelines. With DOM up slightly, plan your transition accordingly.
🔮 Market Forecast: A Balanced Fall Ahead
As we enter the final quarter of 2025, Fort Saskatchewan appears to be settling into a balanced market. Prices remain stable, but the cooling in sales volume indicates a more discerning buyer pool.
We expect:
- Continued strength in well-priced mid-range homes
- Slightly longer average days on market through October/November
- Price resilience heading into the winter, supported by limited inventory
Buyers will enjoy more breathing room, while sellers who remain flexible and strategic can still achieve strong outcomes.
📍 Why Fort Saskatchewan Remains a Smart Market
Fort Saskatchewan’s appeal continues to draw buyers from across the Edmonton region and beyond. With proximity to industrial job hubs, access to the river valley, and relatively affordable pricing compared to Edmonton and St. Albert, it remains one of Alberta’s most underrated places to buy.
Strong public amenities, local schools, and family-friendly neighbourhoods make it a long-term value market — whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, or investing.

.
Buyers now have a wider selection, reducing bidding wars and increasing negotiating power. More options mean less urgency and more time to compare, inspect, and analyze potential purchases.
For sellers, this surge in competition underscores the importance of strategic pricing, professional presentation, and marketing exposure to stand out in a more crowded marketplace.
Average Asking Price
💰 Asking Prices Up
The average asking price in September 2025 rose to $617,000, up 3.11% year-over-year. This continued increase signals that seller expectations remain optimistic heading into the fall

This reduction reflects a moderating market that’s adjusting to higher price points, changing seasonal dynamics, and a more informed and selective buyer pool. However, this shift doesn’t signal weakness—instead, it marks the return of a more balanced and stable housing landscape where thoughtful offers are becoming the norm.
Average Single Family Home Sale Price
💰 Sale Prices Slide in September
The average sale price dipped slightly to $531,000, a 1.45% decline compared to September 2024. This indicates that while sellers are listing higher, buyers are more price-conscious and negotiating accordingly.

- Overall, the market is in a healthier state than in previous years, offering stability instead of volatility.

✅ Advantages:

- Sale prices may stabilize further as demand softens

Parkland County Acreage Listings
🏘️ New Listings Fall 36% – Less Inventory, More Demand
Only 64 new acreage listings hit the market in September 2025, a steep 36% decline compared to the same time last year
. Year-to-date, new listings remain steady at 834, just slightly down (0.24%) from 2024.
Fewer new listings paired with more sales mean reduced inventory, which could tighten the market further heading into the fall.
For Sellers:
- Now is the time to list. With fewer competing properties and strong buyer demand, well-priced acreages are receiving attention quickly.
For Buyers:
- Be ready to act fast. With limited options available and faster sales, it’s critical to have financing in place and work with an agent who can alert you to new opportunities quickly.
Average List Price
📉 Asking Prices Adjust Downward
In a notable shift, the average asking price in September 2025 dropped to $750,000, a 11.6% decrease year-over-year
. This is the lowest average asking price reported in several months, possibly reflecting seller recognition of evolving buyer expectations or increased motivation to sell before winter.
However, the year-to-date asking price remains higher than last year overall, with a modest 0.63% decrease, sitting at $731,000 compared to $736,000 in 2024
This gap between list price and sale price continues to narrow, especially with an ask-to-sell ratio of 0.977, meaning most properties sold for 97.7% of their asking price in September.
Parkland County Acreage Sales
🔼 Sales Surge: 36% More Acreages Sold

. Year-to-date, 2025 has seen 507 total sales, up 10.7% compared to 2024
This growth in activity confirms that buyer confidence in rural property continues to strengthen—likely driven by demand for space, lifestyle flexibility, and proximity to nature while staying within reach of Edmonton and surrounding communities.
Parkland County Average Sale Price
💰 Average Sale Price Soars to $701K
Despite a drop in average asking price, the average sale price climbed 23.74% from the previous year, reaching $701,000 in September. This is a clear sign that well-presented acreages are attracting strong offers—even in a tightening market.
Why This Matters:
- Sellers are still getting great value when pricing correctly.
- Buyers are willing to pay top dollar for move-in-ready homes, well-serviced land, or desirable locations near Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, or major commuting routes.
Year-to-date, the average sale price across Parkland County acreages sits at $649,000, a 3.16% increase over 2024
Average Days on MLS®

The average days on market fell to just 75 days in September, a 48.98% drop from the 147-day average in 2024
. Year-to-date, acreage properties are selling 18.25% faster, averaging 103 days on market in 2025 vs. 126 in 2024.
This indicates:
- Buyers are moving quickly once they find the right property.
- Sellers are pricing smarter and preparing their homes more effectively for sale.
If you’re listing your acreage, now is the time to act—homes are turning over faster than they were a year ago.

Edmonton New MLS® Listings
🏘️ New Listings on the Rise
September brought 2,799 new listings to market in Edmonton, a 9.3% increase from August 2025 and a 3.7% increase year-over-year. This is good news for buyers who have been facing limited options over the past few months. An increase in inventory is helping to stabilize competition, especially in desirable neighbourhoods.
From a seller’s perspective, the rise in listings offers a window of opportunity before winter arrives. Homes listed in September and October tend to see strong interest from serious buyers looking to move before year-end.
Average List Price Edmonton Real Estate Market
💰 Average List Price
The average list price in Edmonton for September 2025 came in at $417,100, reflecting an increase of 4.2% compared to September 2024. This upward trend shows that sellers are becoming more confident in the market's value, and the appreciation in list price is supported by consistent sales volumes.
In particular, single-family homes and townhouses continue to drive list price increases, as demand for multi-bedroom, move-in-ready homes with modern amenities remains high.
Home Sales In The Edmonton Real Estate Market
🏡 Total Residential Sales
In September 2025, 1,825 residential properties were sold across the Greater Edmonton Area (GEA), which represents a 25.3% increase year-over-year compared to September 2024. Month-over-month, sales were slightly down by 8.4% from August 2025, which is typical for this time of year as families settle into the back-to-school routine and seasonal patterns begin to shift.
Despite this expected seasonal dip, sales volume has remained consistently stronger in 2025 than in 2024, signalling continued buyer demand and market confidence, especially in single-family homes and townhouses.
Edmonton Average Home Sale Price
💸 Average Sale Price
The average sale price across all property types in Edmonton reached $406,000 in September 2025. This figure represents a 3.2% year-over-year increase, and while slightly down from the August average, it's a healthy sign of sustainable price growth.
Let’s break it down by property type:
- Single-Family Detached Homes: $507,396 (↑ 4.1% year-over-year)
- Semi-Detached Homes: $386,185 (↑ 6.3% year-over-year)
- Row/Townhouses: $276,048 (↑ 9.4% year-over-year)
- Apartment Condominiums: $194,013 (↓ 1.4% year-over-year)
Townhouses and semi-detached homes have seen the strongest price appreciation, likely due to their affordability and popularity with first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. Meanwhile, apartment condos remain the most affordable entry point into Edmonton’s housing market, even as prices flatten slightly.
📈 List-to-Sale Price Ratio
The list-to-sale price ratio held steady at 97.3% in September 2025, meaning homes are selling on average just 2.7% below their asking price. This is slightly improved from the 97.0% ratio reported in September 2024.
This ratio signals that there’s less room for negotiation than in previous years—a good sign for sellers—while still leaving space for buyers to negotiate on terms or closing dates.
Edmonton Real Estate Market -Average Days
⏳ Days on Market
In September, Edmonton homes spent an average of 42 days on the market, compared to 48 days in September 2024—a reduction of 12.5% year-over-year. This reflects faster sales and stronger buyer urgency, especially for well-presented and accurately priced properties.
Lower days on market are generally considered a sign of a healthy, competitive real estate environment. Buyers are acting more decisively, and sellers who price correctly are reaping the rewards.
🧱 Inventory & Market Balance
At the end of September, Edmonton had 6,885 active listings, which represents a month-over-month increase of 2.8%. The market remains relatively balanced, with about 3.8 months of supply. This means that if no new listings were added, it would take 3.8 months to sell the current inventory based on current demand.
A balanced market benefits both buyers and sellers. Buyers have a bit more time to shop and negotiate, while sellers still see solid returns when homes are staged and priced competitively.
🔍 What This Means for Buyers
If you’re a home buyer in Edmonton, the market remains competitive but fair. Interest rates remain steady, and with increasing inventory levels, you may have more options this fall than earlier in the year.
However, don’t wait too long—especially in the under $500,000 price range, homes are still moving fast. Townhouses and semi-detached properties in newer communities like Secord, Chappelle, and McConachie are particularly popular with first-time buyers and young families.
Consider getting pre-approved and working with an experienced agent (like me!) to gain access to new listings quickly and act confidently when the right property comes up.
💼 What This Means for Sellers
Sellers continue to benefit from strong market fundamentals. With low days on market and a strong list-to-sale ratio, this fall could be the ideal time to list your home.
- Staging, photography, and accurate pricing are crucial in achieving top dollar.
- Homes under $600,000 remain in highest demand, especially those that are turnkey or recently renovated.
- Detached homes in established neighbourhoods like Glenora, Capilano, and Terwillegar Towne continue to outperform in terms of days on market and sale price.
If you're unsure whether to list now or wait until spring, reach out and I can provide you with a personalized market analysis tailored to your home and neighbourhood.
📣 Final Thoughts: Steady Growth, Strong Fundamentals
September 2025 reflects a confident, stable real estate market in Edmonton. With continued price growth, faster sales, and rising inventory, both buyers and sellers have opportunities to succeed heading into the fall season.
Whether you're moving up, downsizing, relocating to Alberta, or investing in new construction, the numbers show that Edmonton remains one of Canada’s most affordable, high-value cities to live and invest in.

Spruce Grove Real Estate Market Update September 2025
As we move into the crisp days of fall, the Spruce Grove real estate market is beginning to show signs of seasonal moderation. With fewer properties sold, longer days on market, and a softening in sale price growth, the September 2025 statistics reflect a shift toward a more balanced market—creating different opportunities for buyers and sellers alike.
If you’re considering a move in Spruce Grove, this in-depth update will help you understand what the numbers mean, and how to navigate this evolving market landscape.
📊 September 2025 At-a-Glance: Spruce Grove Housing Stats
| Metric | September 2025 | September 2024 | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 89 | 98 | ↓ 9.18% |

New MLS® Listing Count
📦 New Listings: A Slight Dip, But Inventory Remains Strong
In September 2025, 130 new properties hit the market in Spruce Grove, which is a 1.52% decrease compared to September 2024.
While this month saw a modest drop in listings, the year-to-date total has climbed to 1,308 homes listed, representing a 4.56% increase over last year’s 1,251 listings at the same point in time.
This year-over-year growth in overall inventory provides continued support for buyers entering the fall market. Although September's listings dipped slightly, this could be attributed to seasonal patterns where fewer homeowners list homes in the fall. Still, the broader trend shows that more sellers are entering the market in 2025, helping ease pressure on supply and offering buyers more choice heading into Q4.
Average Listing Price in Spruce Grove
📈 Average Asking Price: Seller Confidence Still Holding
The average asking price in September 2025 was $501,000, showing a 6.26% increase from the same month last year. The year-to-date average asking price holds strong at $503,000, up 9.00% compared to 2024.
This consistent rise in list prices demonstrates continued seller confidence, even as the market shows signs of slowing in terms of actual sales. Many homeowners are still aiming to capitalize on the gains seen earlier in the year. However, as buyer caution grows and days on market lengthen, pricing homes appropriately from the start will be crucial. Sellers hoping to stand out in the increasingly competitive fall market will benefit from accurate valuations and expert local insight.
Spruce Grove Home Sales
🏠 Sales Activity: Slowing into Fall
In September 2025, 89 properties sold in Spruce Grove—down from 98 in the same month last year. This represents a 9.18% drop in sales, aligning with the seasonal cooling we often see as summer turns to fall.
Looking at the bigger picture, the year-to-date total of 921 sales is 8.81% lower than 2024's YTD figure of 1,010 homes sold
While this might seem like a concern at first glance, it’s a normal transition in many markets as buyer urgency tends to taper off in the autumn months. For sellers, this means pricing right and marketing effectively is more important than ever.
Real Estate Market Statistics Spruce Grove Average Home Sale Price
This shows that sellers remain confident, although the rate of price growth is starting to slow compared to the double-digit jumps we saw earlier in the year.
Sale Prices:
- The average sale price in September came in at $461,000, just 1.01% higher than the same month in 2024.
- Year-to-date, homes in Spruce Grove have sold for an average of $475,000, a 10.67% increase from last year.
.
The narrowing gap between list price growth and sale price growth suggests buyers are becoming more price-sensitive, especially as affordability is tested.
🧾 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Buyers Gaining Leverage
The ask-to-sell ratio in September was 0.990, a slight drop of 0.86% from the previous year, and a sign that homes are no longer selling at or above list price as frequently as they were in the spring and summer
This doesn’t mean the market has turned negative—it simply indicates that buyers are being more selective and negotiations are back on the table.
Days on Market Until Sale
📉 Days on Market: Properties Taking Longer to Sell
One of the most notable changes in September is how long homes are staying on the market.
- The average number of days on market jumped to 63 days, a 31.25% increase from last year.
- Even so, the YTD average sits at 50 days, still 15.25% faster than 2024's pace
This monthly increase is a strong indicator that demand is softening slightly—buyers may be taking more time to make decisions, especially with more listings available.

🌇 Why Spruce Grove Continues to Be a Desirable Market
Even as the market shifts, Spruce Grove remains a top destination for homeowners across the Edmonton region.
🚗 Easy Commute
With direct access to Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16) and just 20–30 minutes to downtown Edmonton, Spruce Grove is ideal for professionals who want suburban peace without long commutes.
🏡 Family-Oriented Neighbourhoods
Communities like Prescott, McLaughlin, Greenbury, and Fenwyck offer modern homes, great schools, and family-friendly amenities.

🛍️ Shopping & Services

🔮 Looking Ahead: Fall & Winter 2025
Here’s what we might expect heading into the end of 2025:
- Inventory will remain steady: New listings may slow slightly, but enough options should remain for buyers through winter.
- Sales may decline seasonally, but sellers who prepare their homes well can still see solid results.
- Prices may hold, but we’re unlikely to see the dramatic gains from earlier this year continue at the same pace.
It’s a market in transition, and that creates opportunities for both buyers and sellers who are strategic.

As we step into the final quarter of the year, the Stony Plain real estate market continues to offer valuable insight for homeowners, prospective buyers, and investors. September 2025 showed a stable level of sales activity but revealed some notable shifts in pricing, days on market, and inventory that are well worth watching.
Whether you're a homeowner curious about your property's value, a buyer looking for the right opportunity, or an investor tracking trends, this report provides a full breakdown of the Stony Plain real estate market for September 2025—from price growth to listing activity and everything in between.

| Sold Properties | 34 | 34 | 0.00% |

Stony Plain Real Estate - New MLS® Listings
🏡 New Listings Drop Sharply
September 2025 brought 43 new listings to market, which is a 25.86% decrease compared to September 2024. Year-to-date, 481 new homes have been listed, a 2.04% decrease from 2024 levels.
This drop in fresh inventory is a double-edged sword:
- For sellers, it’s an opportunity to stand out in a less crowded market.
- For buyers, it means fewer options and potentially increased competition for desirable
Average Asking Price of Homes in Stony Plain
🏷️ Asking Prices Hit New Highs
In September, the average asking price climbed to $460,000, a staggering 24.19% year-over-year increase. That’s one of the steepest annual jumps in listing prices we’ve seen all year.
With a YTD average asking price of $434,000, up 6.63% from 2024, sellers are clearly pricing high—and for good reason. With sale prices also on the rise, sellers are seeing favourable returns, although overpricing can still hurt if a home lingers on the market too long
Stony Plain Home Sales
🏘️ Sales Hold Steady Despite Economic Headwinds
September saw 34 homes sold, exactly matching the number sold in the same month last year. On the surface, this may suggest stability, but when looking at year-to-date (YTD) sales, we see a 7.38% decline, with 364 homes sold so far in 2025 compared to 393 by this time in 2024
While this drop is moderate, it may reflect rising borrowing costs, affordability challenges, or simple buyer hesitancy heading into the fall. That said, consistent monthly activity suggests continued local demand and overall market resilience.
Stony Plain Real Estate Market- Average Home Sale Price
💰 Sale Prices Surge in September
One of the most striking changes in the market is the jump in average sale price, which reached $421,000 in September 2025. That’s a 20.63% increase over September 2024. This strong appreciation continues a trend of rising property values in Stony Plain.
YTD, the average sale price now sits at $407,000, up 6.25% from the same time last year
These figures make it clear: Stony Plain remains a strong market for long-term homeowners and sellers looking to build equity.
📉 Slight Dip in Ask-to-Sell Ratio
The ask-to-sell ratio in September dropped slightly to 98.5%, from approximately 99.1% in the previous year. This means that homes are still selling close to asking price, but not quite at the same premium levels we saw in the past.
However, YTD the ratio remains strong at 99.2%, demonstrating that realistic pricing is still rewarded with serious offers near asking
Stony Plain Average Days on Market
⏳ Homes Selling Faster Than Before
Another favourable trend is the reduction in days on market. The average time to sell a home in Stony Plain dropped to 35 days in September, down 16.67% from a year ago. YTD, homes are selling in about 45 days on average, an improvement over 53 days in 2024.
This means that while listings are lower, the homes that are on the market are selling faster—likely due to increased pricing confidence and better-prepared listings
🧭 What This Means for Buyers
- Higher Prices Mean Acting Quickly Is Critical
With sale prices climbing nearly 21% year-over-year, buyers should be aware that hesitation may lead to paying more later. - Tighter Inventory Means More Competition
A 25% drop in new listings means fewer choices. Be prepared to move fast and work with a local expert to identify new listings the moment they hit the market. - Quick Closings Are the Norm
With homes selling in just over a month, buyers should have pre-approvals in hand and be ready to make decisive offers.
🏠 What This Means for Sellers
-
- It’s a Seller’s Market—Still
Despite the slowdown in total sales, rising prices and faster sales mean sellers are in a favourable position, especially for well-maintained homes in desirable price ranges. - Fewer Listings Mean More Exposure
With fewer homes on the market, properly marketed listings stand out, often attracting more attention and potentially multiple offers.
- It’s a Seller’s Market—Still
momentum.
- Strategic Pricing Matters
While asking prices are up, the small dip in the ask-to-sell ratio shows that buyers are negotiating. Price too high, and you risk losing valuable early
🏙️ Why Buyers Continue to Choose Stony PlainWith its welcoming community atmosphere, proximity to Edmonton, and steadily growing amenities, Stony Plain continues to be a popular choice for:- First-time buyers looking for value
- Families seeking space and schools
- Retirees downsizing without sacrificing lifestyle
- Investors betting on long-term appreciation in a stable market
🔮 Market Outlook for Fall 2025
Looking ahead into the fall, here are some trends to watch:
- Interest Rates & Affordability
If rates remain steady, demand is likely to stay high even as we move into a typically slower season. - Inventory Levels
With new listings declining, buyers will need to act quickly—and sellers may face less competition. - Continued Price Growth
The trend line shows steady appreciation. If you’ve been waiting to sell, the fall season could offer you optimal conditions.

📊 Market Summary – September 2025
Here’s how the market performed last month in rural Strathcona County:
| Metric | September 2025 | September 2024 | % Change |
| Sold Properties | 38 | 31 | +22.58% |
| YTD Sold Properties | 330 | 289 | +14.19% |

Strathcona County -Acreage Listings
📥 New Listings: Inventory Tightening into Fall
Only 46 new listings hit the market in September—a 6.12% drop from last year. Even more telling, year-to-date new listings are down 4.54%, with only 505 properties listed in total so far this year
Takeaway:
Buyers will continue to feel pressure due to shrinking inventory. This also helps sellers maintain negotiating power—particularly those who are listing competitively.
If you’re a buyer: be proactive and act fast.
If you’re a seller: this is an excellent window to list before winter inventory dwindles even further.
Strathcona County - Average Acreage List Price
📈 Asking Prices: Sellers Temper Expectations
The average asking price in September was $934,000, down a notable 11.76% year-over-year. While this may seem like a correction, it also reflects a realignment of seller expectations after several months of aggressive pricing.
That said, the YTD average asking price is $976,000, still 7.46% higher than the same point in 2024
This shows sellers are still seeing substantial year-over-year equity gains—just not at the speculative pace seen earlier in the year.
Strathcona County -Acreage Sales
🏡 Sales Activity: Highest September Sales in Recent Years
In September 2025, 38 acreages were sold, representing a 22.58% increase over the same month last year. This uptick is significant given that fall usually signals a slowdown. Year-to-date, 330 acreages have sold, up 14.19% from 2024.
This signals two key trends:
- Buyers are continuing to pursue acreage life, especially as urban inventory tightens.
- Sellers are finding opportunities well beyond the traditional “spring market” cycle.
What It Means for Buyers:
Expect competition for move-in-ready homes, especially those with desirable features like workshops, treed privacy, and proximity to Sherwood Park or Hwy 21.
What It Means for Sellers:
Listings in the fall are getting serious attention. If your acreage is priced right and well-presented, you can still expect strong results before winter.
💰 Average Sale Price: A Minor Dip, But Long-Term Growth Holds
September's average sale price of $770,000 marked a slight 2.30% decline compared to September 2024. However, year-to-date, the average sits at $841,000, which is 11.27% higher than the same time last year.
Why the Drop?
- More mid-range acreages sold this month.
- Some higher-end properties may be holding until spring.
- Negotiation margins increased as DOM (days on market) grew.
Despite the dip, the year-to-date trend remains solid and shows strong long-term value appreciation for rural homes in Strathcona County.
📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Small Gap, Smart Pricing Still Matters
September's ask-to-sell ratio was 0.969, meaning homes sold for 96.9% of their asking price. This is a modest improvement from last year’s 95.8%, showing buyers are still negotiating, but the market remains strong.
The year-to-date figure of 0.979 (97.9%) continues to reflect a high-confidence market, where well-priced homes are moving close to their list price.
Strathcona County Acreage Average Days on Market
⏱️ Days on Market: Longer Waits for Sale
In September, the average time on market was 95 days, an increase of 25% over the previous year. On a year-to-date basis, homes are still moving faster than in 2024 (72 vs 83 days) but this month indicates buyers are taking more time before committing
Key Factors:
- Slight seasonal slowdown heading into fall
- Higher price point properties sitting longer
- Buyer caution around rising interest rates
Sellers should prep for slightly longer listing timelines unless the home is priced sharply and marketed properly.
🧭 Year-to-Date Performance Snapshot
So far in 2025, rural Strathcona County has shown:
- 330 properties sold (up 14.19%)
- $841K average sale price (up 11.27%)
- 505 new listings (down 4.54%)
- Days on market reduced 13.25% YTD
This blend of fewer listings, faster sales (overall), and rising prices illustrates a market where demand outpaces supply, particularly for the right acreage properties.
💡 What Buyers Need to Know Right Now
If you’re shopping for a rural acreage in Strathcona County, the market is competitive, but it’s not out of reach.
Buyer Tips:
- Act fast on properties with upgraded features, great layouts, or unique land characteristics.
- Have financing prepped: A quick offer can be the difference-maker.
- Know your non-negotiables (e.g., treed lot, fencing, garage space).
- Work with a local REALTOR® who understands wells, septic systems, zoning, and more.
💼 What Sellers Should Do This Fall
Sellers are in a favourable position, especially if their home is priced within the mid-to-upper $700K to $900K range—where demand is strongest.
Seller Tips:
- List before winter to avoid slower holiday market conditions.
- Prep your property: clear driveways, stage interiors, showcase the yard before snow hits.
- Don’t overprice: Price it close to recent comps to avoid long DOM.

🧠 Investor Insights: Still Room for Smart Acreage Plays
While the price gains are tapering slightly, the 11.27% YTD price increase suggests strong fundamentals. For investors, rural Strathcona County remains a smart place to:
- Buy and hold appreciating land
- Invest in live-in fixer-uppers
- Purchase income-generating acreages with rental suites, shops, or agricultural income potential
🔮 Looking Ahead: What to Expect in Q4
As we enter Q4:
- Expect fewer new listings
- Buyers may get more negotiating power on homes that have sat longer
- Well-priced homes will continue to move
- Watch for interest rate changes that may influence financing conditions
Sellers should act now to take advantage of fall activity. Buyers should be ready to pounce on good opportunities before the winter lull.

11306 89 Street NW, Edmonton, AB – Quality Build with Legal Suite, Dream Garage & Future Potential
 |
 |
 |
In Edmonton’s competitive housing market, homes that combine income potential, functional workspace, and lasting construction quality are rare. At 11306 89 Street NW, buyers will find a property that delivers on all three fronts: a fully finished 2-bedroom legal suite, an oversized heated garage with workshop features, and a home built with exceptional materials designed for efficiency and durability.
Central Edmonton Location
Located in the Alberta Avenue neighbourhood, this property offers a short commute to downtown Edmonton, NAIT, Kingsway Mall, and major transit routes. For investors and suite owners, this central location makes the legal suite highly desirable to renters who want affordability without sacrificing access to amenities.

Legal 2-Bedroom Suite – Income at Your Doorstep
The home features a registered 2-bedroom legal suite with a separate entrance, dedicated utilities, hardwired internet/cable, and in-suite laundry. With Edmonton’s strong rental demand, this suite is perfect for generating steady income to offset your mortgage or as a multi-generational living option.
Features of the suite include:
- Two bright bedrooms with hopper windows
- Full kitchen with double sink, fridge, stove, microwave, and dishwasher
- Heated floors with thermostat control
- 4-piece bathroom
- Separate laundry and utility room
- Separate power meter for independence
Having a legal suite already in place removes the guesswork and investment that many buyers face. For those wanting a mortgage helper or cash-flowing rental, this home is move-in ready on day one.
Attic – Future Expansion Potential
The attic space is currently unfinished but has been thoughtfully roughed in with spray-foam insulation, heated floors, wiring, smoke detector, and plumbing for a bathroom. This forward-thinking design allows future owners to expand into a studio, office, or even additional living space without starting from scratch.
For buyers who value long-term flexibility, this attic is a built-in opportunity for equity growth.
A Garage That Works as Hard as You Do
Not just a place to park vehicles, the oversized heated garage is a true workshop designed for trades, hobbies, or storage.
Highlights include:
- RV parking
- RV sewer
- Hot and cold water outside
- 6”+ cement floors with in-floor heating and foam insulation underneath
- 8’ insulated overhead door with remote
- 220 power panel with welder plug
- Workbench with vice
- Rear plug for tools or heaters
- Steel siding for durability
- Mezzanine storage for seasonal items or equipment
Whether you’re a mechanic, contractor, hobbyist, or simply need a large heated space for projects, this garage is ready to perform.
Built with Strength & Efficiency
This home’s build quality sets it apart from most Edmonton listings. Instead of cosmetic updates, the focus was on durability, energy efficiency, and safety:
- Triple pane windows
- 5” spray foam insulation for warmth and cost savings
- Steel siding for low maintenance
- Steel I-beams and 8"-joist attic construction
- Boiler in-floor heating system with 80-gallon hot water tank
- New roof, eavestroughs & leaf guards
- Dual air/air units with separate thermostats
- LED lighting throughout
- Four smoke detectors plus gas detection
These features make the home quieter, warmer, and more efficient—qualities buyers feel every day.
Comfort & Everyday Living
The main living space includes a bright living room, functional kitchen, and multiple bathrooms, making it ideal for families. Outdoor features like a fenced yard, hot/cold water taps, RV sewer hook-up, and extra storage add to the practicality of the property.
Who Will Love This Home?
- Investors & Buyers Wanting Extra Income – The legal 2-bedroom suite is ready to generate rental revenue or serve as a mortgage helper.
- Tradespeople, Mechanics, & Hobbyists – The oversized garage is a one-of-a-kind workshop.

Sherwood Park New MLS® Listings
July saw 201 new listings, a 14.86% increase over July 2024.
Year-to-date, there have been 1127 listings, almost the same as last year (-0.53%). While new inventory is coming onto the market, much of it is being absorbed quickly by eager buyers, especially in the $450K–$550K range.
Average Asking Price
💰 Home Prices Surge Higher
The most notable trend in Sherwood Park this month is the sharp rise in prices.
Average Asking Price: At $545,000, the average asking price for July 2025 is 14.78% higher than July 2024. This indicates strong seller confidence and reflects the value buyers are placing on homes in this community.
Sherwood Park Home Sales
🏡 Sales Activity – A Stable July
Sherwood Park recorded 158 home sales in July 2025, almost identical to the 157 sales in July 2024, marking a slight 0.64% increase year-over-year.
While monthly sales have stayed stable, year-to-date sales are down 6.51%, with 876 properties sold so far in 2025 compared to 937 at this time in 2024. This drop is likely due to tight inventory in certain price segments and rising interest rates earlier in the year that may have slowed some buyer activity.
Average Sale Price
Average Sale Price: The average sale price hit $519,000, which is 6.04% higher than last year.
Year-to-Date Pricing: Looking at the year as a whole so far, the average sale price of $511,000 represents a 7.94% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
🔍 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Slight Dip but Still Strong
The ask-to-sell ratio in July 2025 was 1.003, meaning most homes sold almost exactly at their asking price, with some even selling slightly above.
While this is a 0.12% drop from last year’s July figure, the year-to-date ratio of 1.012 remains higher than in 2024, reinforcing that buyers are still competitive in their offers.
Average Days on Market
⌛ Homes Are Selling Faster
Speed is a defining characteristic of the Sherwood Park market right now:
- In July 2025, the average days on market was just 25 days, a 13.79% reduction from last year.
- Year-to-date, homes are selling in an average of 29 days, compared to 41 days in 2024—a significant 29.27% faster.
This means well-priced homes are often selling within a few weeks, and sometimes in less than a week if they’re in high-demand neighbourhoods or price ranges.

📈 Market Interpretation – What These Numbers Mean
For Buyers:
- Competition is still high: Homes are selling quickly and close to asking price.
- Act fast: With only 25 days on market, buyers need to be pre-approved and ready to make strong offers.
- Be realistic: Prices are higher than last year, so budget accordingly.
For Sellers:
- It’s still a great time to list: Price growth and quick sales create favourable conditions.
- Presentation matters: Homes in good condition sell faster and for higher prices.
- Strategic pricing works: Overpricing can slow down offers, while competitive pricing can lead to bidding situations.
🔮 Looking Ahead
Given the steady demand and rising prices, Sherwood Park is likely to maintain strong market conditions for the rest of 2025. The pace of sales may slow slightly into fall, but low days on market and steady price growth suggest stability.
The only factor that could ease competition would be a significant increase in new inventory—something to watch for in the coming months.
