Edmonton New MLS® Listings

New Listings: More Inventory Creates More Choices

The Edmonton market welcomed 3,790 new listings in June 2025, marking a 10.21% increase compared to June 2024. Year-to-date, 18,040 homes have been listed, which is a 12.04% increase from this time last year.

This increase in inventory benefits buyers who now have a broader selection of homes across different price ranges and neighbourhoods. It’s also a positive sign that sellers are confident in the market and are motivated to list their properties.

Implications for Buyers

More selection, less pressure. With new listings increasing, buyers have more options and may find themselves in fewer multiple-offer situations.
Room for negotiation. While Edmonton remains competitive, higher inventory levels give buyers some leverage in pricing discussions.

Implications for Sellers

Strategic pricing is crucial. Sellers now face more competition. Proper pricing and strong marketing are essential to ensure a quick sale.
Preparation pays off. Homes that are well-maintained, staged, and priced correctly will continue to sell quickly.

Average List Price Edmonton Real Estate Market

On the listing side, the average asking price increased to $498,000, a 7.56% year-over-year rise. Sellers remain confident in the value of their homes, and this pricing momentum reflects Edmonton’s solid market fundamentals.

Home Sales In The Edmonton Real Estate Market

Sales Activity: A Modest Decline in Volume

In June 2025, the Edmonton housing market recorded 2,046 sold properties, a 5.70% decrease compared to June 2024. This dip is part of a broader trend observed over the past few months where sales volumes are softening slightly. The year-to-date (YTD) total sits at 10,470 homes sold, which is 3.65% lower than the same point in 2024.

While the sales numbers have declined compared to last year, the slowdown is not necessarily a negative indicator. Several factors could be contributing to this adjustment:

Buyer hesitation due to rising prices
Seasonal trends where some buyers wait until later in summer
Greater inventory leading to longer decision times

However, Edmonton continues to attract strong buyer interest, particularly from those relocating from more expensive provinces or seeking investment opportunities.

Edmonton Average Home Sale Price

The average sale price in Edmonton climbed to $443,000 in June 2025, representing a 4.39% increase compared to June 2024. The year-to-date average sale price has also risen to $436,000, showing an 8.22% gain from the same period last year.

Why Are Prices Rising?

Demand is still outpacing inventory in many neighbourhoods.
Construction costs remain high, which impacts both new builds and the resale market.
Migration to Edmonton continues as affordability compared to other major Canadian cities draws buyers to Alberta’s capital.

For buyers, this means that entering the market sooner rather than later could help secure more favourable pricing before further appreciation. For sellers, the current market remains a strong opportunity to achieve excellent value for their homes.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Homes Selling Close to List Price

The average ask-to-sell ratio in June 2025 was 99.2%, a slight decline from last year but still indicative of a competitive market where homes are selling very close to their asking prices.

For buyers, this means lowball offers are likely to be unsuccessful, especially in desirable areas. For sellers, the strong ratio shows that pricing your home right from the beginning will likely result in offers near your listed price.

Edmonton Real Estate Market -Average Days

The average days on market dropped to 42 days in June 2025, which is 10.64% faster than June 2024. Year-to-date, the average sits at 50 days, down 17.53% from 2024.

This trend indicates that while buyers have more choices, the homes that are priced correctly and presented well are moving fast. Sellers are continuing to see positive momentum, with properties not lingering long if they are positioned attractively in the market.

Edmonton Real Estate Trends: Key Takeaways for June 2025

1. Sales Are Slightly Down, But the Market Remains Active

While total sales volume has decreased slightly compared to last year, the Edmonton market is still highly active, particularly for well-priced homes in popular neighbourhoods.

2. Prices Are Still Rising

Both asking prices and sale prices have shown consistent growth. Edmonton remains affordable compared to other major cities, but buyers should be prepared for continued price appreciation.

3. Inventory Is Expanding

With more new listings entering the market, buyers now have more choices. However, homes that are staged and priced appropriately are still moving quickly.

4. Homes Are Selling Faster

The drop in average days on market signals strong buyer interest. If a home is priced well, it is likely to attract offers quickly.

5. Sellers Still Hold an Advantage

With the ask-to-sell ratio hovering around 99.2%, sellers who price their homes properly can expect to receive offers close to asking price, but they should also be aware that competition is increasing as more listings hit the market.

Advice for Buyers

If you’re thinking about purchasing a home in Edmonton this summer, here’s what you need to know:

Get pre-approved early. The market is moving quickly, and having financing in place can make you more competitive.
Act fast on desirable homes. Properties in high-demand neighbourhoods or in excellent condition can still sell in a matter of days.
Be realistic with offers. With homes selling close to asking price, consider making strong initial offers to increase your chances of success.

Advice for Sellers

If you’re planning to sell your home in Edmonton, now is still a favourable time to list:

Price strategically. Overpricing can result in longer market times, especially as inventory increases.
Invest in presentation. Staging, professional photography, and light cosmetic updates can significantly boost your home’s appeal.
Be prepared to move quickly. Many homes are receiving offers within days of listing, so make sure you have a plan in place.

Edmonton Market Outlook for Summer 2025

Looking ahead, the Edmonton market is expected to remain stable with continued price growth and a steady pace of new listings. Based on the current trends, here’s what buyers and sellers can expect:

More balanced conditions. With rising inventory, the market may shift slightly towards balance, providing more negotiating room for buyers.
Seasonal activity. Summer is traditionally one of the busiest times of the year, and we can expect sales activity to stay strong in the coming months.
Continued price strength. Economic growth, interprovincial migration, and Edmonton’s relative affordability will continue to support rising home prices.

Neighbourhood Spotlights

While city-wide trends give us a big-picture view, each Edmonton neighbourhood has its own micro-market. Here’s a quick snapshot of where the demand is strongest:

West Edmonton: Continued growth driven by new developments and family-friendly amenities.
Southwest Edmonton: Always in demand thanks to proximity to top schools and shopping centres.
Downtown Core: Condos are seeing renewed interest as urban living remains attractive for young professionals and investors.
Northeast Edmonton: Strong activity from first-time buyers seeking affordable single-family homes.

Edmonton New Single Family Home Listings

🏘️ Inventory Expansion: More Choices for Buyers

Perhaps one of the most promising trends for buyers in June 2025 is the 18.64% surge in new listings. A total of 1,690 single-family homes came onto the market this month, offering buyers more variety and reducing the pressure that comes with limited inventory.

The year-to-date figures also tell a positive story, with 8,550 new listings introduced in 2025 so far, up 10.21% from last year.

An increase in new listings not only gives buyers more selection but also helps balance the market, easing competition and potentially slowing price acceleration in the coming months.

Average Asking Price

💰 Prices Are Climbing: Seller-Friendly Environment

The average asking price in June was $615,000, up 2.37% year-over-year.

For sellers, this upward trajectory presents an excellent opportunity to capitalize on growing home values.

For buyers, it’s a signal that purchasing sooner rather than later could be a wise move before prices potentially climb further.

Edmonton Single Family Home Sales

📈 Growth in Sales: A Positive Turn for June

One of the most notable statistics this month is the 2.67% increase in the number of homes sold compared to June 2024. A total of 1,040 single-family homes sold in the city, signalling steady buyer demand.

This is a positive sign for sellers as it indicates a healthy level of interest and transactional activity. Year-to-date, however, sales are still down by 6.77%, with 5,180 homes sold so far in 2025 compared to 5,550 by this time last year.

The slight uptick in June sales suggests that buyer confidence may be rebounding after a slower spring, potentially driven by stabilized interest rates and an increase in market supply.

Average Single Family Home Sale Price

The average sale price hit $557,000, a significant 5.46% increase compared to June 2024.

When we zoom out and look at the year-to-date average sale price, it’s sitting at $562,000, a strong 8.78% gain over 2024. This continued price growth suggests that Edmonton’s single-family home market remains a competitive landscape.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Room is Returning

The ask-to-sell ratio dropped to 0.993, down 0.70% from June 2024. This means homes are selling at approximately 99.3% of their asking price, compared to nearly full asking prices earlier this year.

This slight dip suggests that buyers are regaining some negotiating power. Sellers should be aware that pricing their home appropriately from the start is key to attracting serious buyers quickly.

Days on MLS®

⏳ Days on Market: Properties Taking Slightly Longer to Sell

The average days on market for single-family homes in Edmonton increased slightly to 41 days, up 2.50% compared to June 2024.

While homes are still selling relatively quickly, this minor increase suggests that buyers may have a bit more breathing room than in previous months.

Year-to-date, homes are selling in 47 days on average, which is still almost two weeks faster than last year, when the average was 58 days.

What Does This Mean for Buyers?

You have more time to make decisions.
There is less urgency to overbid on properties.
A balanced approach can secure you a quality home without overpaying.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Room is Returning

This slight dip suggests that buyers are regaining some negotiating power. Sellers should be aware that pricing their home appropriately from the start is key to attracting serious buyers quickly.

📅 Year-to-Date Trends: A Mixed Market with Upward Pricing Pressure

While June itself showed an increase in sales and listings, the year-to-date picture reveals a market still in recovery.

Sales YTD: 5,180 homes sold (down 6.77% year-over-year)
New Listings YTD: 8,550 homes listed (up 10.21% year-over-year)
Average Sale Price YTD: $562,000 (up 8.78% year-over-year)

This indicates that even though fewer homes have sold in total compared to 2024, prices are continuing to rise due to consistent demand and improving inventory levels.

🛒 What This Means for Buyers

The June 2025 numbers offer buyers both opportunities and challenges:

✅ Opportunities:

More inventory to choose from.
Less urgency than the frenzied pace seen in 2024.
Negotiating power is slowly returning.

⚠️ Challenges:

Prices are still climbing, reducing long-term affordability.
Quality homes in desirable neighbourhoods are still moving quickly.

Buyer Tips:

Work with an experienced REALTOR® to monitor new listings daily.
Get pre-approved so you can act swiftly when you find the right property.
Look beyond headline prices—negotiate on possession dates, inclusions, and contingencies to maximize your purchase.

💼 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers continue to benefit from a strong pricing environment but should be prepared to:

✅ Advantages:

Achieve close to asking price if the home is properly marketed.
Take advantage of summer buyer activity.
Sell faster than the historical Edmonton average.

⚠️ Considerations:

Buyers have more options and may negotiate more aggressively.
Homes that aren’t priced or presented properly may linger longer.

Seller Tips:

Stage your home to stand out.
Price accurately based on current comparable sales.
Use professional photography and modern marketing tactics to ensure your home gets the attention it deserves.

🔮 Looking Ahead: What to Expect for Summer 2025

As we move deeper into the summer market, expect to see:

Continued high inventory levels giving buyers more choice.
Sustained moderate price growth driven by steady demand.
A market that is balancing, where neither buyers nor sellers hold a definitive advantage.

Key influences to watch include:

Interest rate announcements.
Migration patterns, particularly from other provinces.
Local employment trends in energy, construction, and technology sectors.

Spruce Grove Real Estate: Market Trends and Investment Opportunities • 2 July 2025

Spruce Grove Real Estate Market: June 2025 Update

by Christina Reid

Spruce Grove Century 21 Leading Realtor Chris Reid

The real estate market statistics for Spruce Grove real estate market for November 2024 is one of the most dynamic markets in the Edmonton area. Whether you are a prospective homebuyer, a real estate investor, or simply keeping tabs on market trends, this update offers a comprehensive overview of key indicators that define the current state and future trajectory of Spruce Grove's property landscape.

The Spruce Grove real estate market has exhibited remarkable growth over the past year, underscored by several positive trends across various metrics. Let’s delve into the specifics to better understand what these numbers mean for you.

The below graphs are interactive

New MLS® Listing Count

While most indicators show positive growth, the number of new listings in November 2024 has seen a decline of 17.17% compared to the previous year, with only 82 new listings. This reduction could be a result of limited inventory, which is a common trend in thriving real estate markets. However, the year-to-date figures show a more stable scenario, with 1,472 new listings, up by 8.80% from 2023. This suggests that while monthly fluctuations occur, the overall listing activity remains healthy.

Average Listing Price in Spruce Grove

The average asking price in November 2024 stood at $485,000, up by 13.87% from the previous year. These figures illustrate a robust appreciation in property values, offering a lucrative opportunity for sellers and a crucial insight for buyers preparing to enter the market.

Spruce Grove Home Sales

One of the most significant indicators of the health of a real estate market is the number of properties sold. In Spruce Grove, the total number of sold properties reached 68 in November 2024, marking a 3.03% increase from the previous year. Year-to-date (YTD) figures are even more impressive, with 1,187 properties sold in 2024, which is a substantial 31.89% increase compared to 2023. This uptick in sales volume is a strong signal of growing buyer interest and an increasingly competitive market environment.

Real Estate Market Statistics Spruce Grove Average Home Sale Price

his increase is consistent with the trend observed in average sale prices, which saw a 23.20% rise to $444,000 in the same month, compared to November 2023. The year-to-date average sale price also rose to $427,000, reflecting a 9.80% increase from the previous year.

The average ask-to-sell ratio in November 2024 was 0.989, showing a slight increase of 1.24% from the previous year. This ratio, which measures how close the final sale price is to the asking price, indicates that sellers are achieving nearly their full asking price, signifying a seller's market where buyers are willing to meet the terms set by sellers.

Days on Market Until Sale

Another key aspect of market dynamics is the average number of days properties stay on the market before being sold. In Spruce Grove, homes are selling faster, with the average days on market until sale dropping to 62 days in November 2024, a reduction of 17.33% from 71 days in 2023. This decrease in days on market is indicative of a more fluid market where properties are moving quickly, often due to competitive bidding and high demand.

The real estate market statistics in Spruce Grove is characterized by robust growth, increasing property values, and a competitive environment that benefits both buyers and sellers. Whether you are looking to invest in residential properties, sell your home, or find a new place to call your own, understanding these trends can greatly assist in making informed decisions.

As we move towards 2025, the momentum seen in the Spruce Grove real estate market suggests continued opportunities for growth and investment. Prospective buyers should be prepared for a competitive market, and sellers can expect continued interest in their properties.

Bar graphs below are interactive

Strathcona County -Acreage Listings

In June 2025, Strathcona County saw 77 new acreage listings, marking a 6.94% increase over June 2024's 72 listings. This uptick in fresh inventory gives buyers a broader selection of properties as the busy summer market continues. Still, the slight decline in year-to-date listings (down around 2%) underscores that available acreages remain in limited supply. For buyers, this presents a valuable window of opportunity—new listings tend to attract strong interest quickly, especially well-priced or move-in-ready properties. If you're actively searching, staying alert to new listings and acting swiftly can be a decisive advantage.

Strathcona County - Average Acreage List Price

In June 2025, the average asking price for rural Strathcona County acreages reached $1,000,000, an impressive 11.49% increase from June 2024’s average of approximately $896,900. This rise reflects sellers’ confidence in the market and buoyant buyer demand.

Strathcona County -Acreage Sales

🚀 Surging Sales: Rural Acreage Demand Reaches New Heights

The most significant takeaway from the June 2025 report is the massive 51.35% year-over-year increase in monthly sales. Compared to June 2024, where just 37 properties sold, June 2025 saw 56 sold properties, indicating a surge in buyer activity.

Why Are Acreages Selling So Quickly?

Several factors are driving this momentum:

Shift Toward Rural Living: The post-pandemic preference for more space, privacy, and self-sufficiency continues to shape buying behaviour.
High Investment Confidence: Buyers view rural acreages as solid, appreciating assets, especially as suburban and urban prices continue to rise.
Limited Urban Inventory: With Edmonton’s urban market experiencing tight inventory, buyers are turning their attention to nearby rural properties.

For sellers, this uptick in demand presents a golden opportunity to list their acreage and potentially achieve a faster sale at a higher price point.

Strathcona County Real Estate Market -Acreage Average Sales Price

💰 Rising Prices: Strong Seller’s Market

The average sale price of $920,000 in June 2025 represents an impressive 18.09% increase compared to June 2024. On a year-to-date basis, the average sale price is now $850,000, up 15.95% from the previous year.

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

Higher Sale Prices: Sellers can capitalize on significant equity gains compared to 2024.
Buyer Competition: Properties are selling closer to asking price, reducing the need for substantial price negotiations.

📊 List Price vs. Sale Price: The Pricing Sweet Spot

The average asking price in June 2025 was $1,000,000, up 11.49% from June 2024, while the average sale price was $920,000.

The ask-to-sell ratio of 0.979 indicates that homes are selling for roughly 97.9% of their asking price. This figure suggests that while buyers are willing to pay near full price, careful pricing remains essential.

Pricing Strategy Tips for Sellers:

Accurate Market Comparisons: Set a competitive price that reflects current market demand.
Avoid Overpricing: Properties priced too high may linger on the market despite the surge in buyer interest.
Leverage Local Expertise: Work with a REALTOR® familiar with rural Strathcona County to set the right list price.

Strathcona County Acreage Average Days on Market

In June 2025, rural acreages in Strathcona County were spending an average of 49 days on market, marking a 2% decrease from June 2024. This shortened timeframe demonstrates a strong seller’s market, with well-priced and properly presented properties moving quickly. That said, some listings can still sit if they’re overpriced, under-marketed, or need substantial repairs. Notably, the average days on market dropped significantly from previous months—indicating increasingly decisive buyer behavior during the summer season. For sellers, this highlights the importance of accurate pricing and professional marketing to capitalize on the rapid pace. For buyers, it emphasizes the need to act quickly once a promising property is listed—with the right support in place to make timely offers when opportunities arise.

🧭 Key Considerations for Acreage Buyers

Buying an acreage comes with unique considerations that differ from traditional city homes. Here’s what buyers should keep in mind:

1. Property Inspections

Acreage purchases often involve more complex systems, including septic tanks, wells, and outbuildings. Thorough inspections are crucial.

2. Land Use and Zoning

Understand what the property is zoned for, especially if you plan to farm, build additional structures, or run a business.

3. Access and Utilities

Rural properties may not have municipal services. Confirm the reliability of power, water, internet, and road maintenance.

4. Financing

Some acreages may require specialized mortgage products, so work with a lender experienced in rural properties.

🏘️ Insights for Sellers: Maximizing Value in a Competitive Market

With rising prices and fast-moving sales, sellers in Strathcona County are in an excellent position. However, careful preparation remains key to achieving top dollar.

Tips to Optimize Your Acreage Sale:

Stage the Property: Highlight unique acreage features like gardens, workshops, and outbuildings.
Enhance Curb Appeal: Rural buyers are drawn to well-maintained driveways, fences, and green spaces.
Professional Marketing: A rural property deserves quality photography, drone footage, and detailed marketing to reach the right buyers.
Accurate Pricing: The market is strong, but overpricing can still cause delays.

📅 Year-to-Date Performance: 2025 in Review So Far

The first half of 2025 has been exceptional for rural Strathcona County acreages.

Total YTD Sales: 208 properties sold, up 13.04% from 184 properties at this point in 2024.
YTD Average Sale Price: $850,000, up from $733,000 in 2024 (a 15.95% increase).
YTD New Listings: 355 properties listed so far in 2025, slightly lower than the 362 listed by this time last year.

The market’s consistent growth suggests sustained buyer demand and confidence in the rural real estate segment.

📚 What This Means for Investors

If you’ve been keeping a close eye on the rural real estate market surrounding Edmonton, Sturgeon County likely comes up on your radar. Known for its expansive acreages, agricultural land, custom homes, and tranquil lifestyle, Rural Sturgeon County continues to attract homebuyers seeking space and peace—without sacrificing access to modern amenities.

Rural Sturgeon County New MLS® Listings

Limited Supply of New Listings

Although May saw a modest 11.11% increase in new listings (60 this month vs. 54 last May), the year-to-date figure is down 16.52%, with only 192 listings in 2025 compared to 230 in 2024. This tight inventory is helping support higher prices.

Average List Price

💼 Average Asking Price Trends

The average asking price for May 2025 dropped by 9.02%, landing at $867,000, compared to 2024’s average.
Despite this monthly dip, the year-to-date asking price is up 3.55%, sitting at $956,000.

➡️ What it means: Sellers may be adjusting expectations after realizing that buyers are hesitant to pay top dollar unless the property offers significant value. This correction reflects a slightly more balanced market—although buyer demand remains strong for high-quality listings.

Rural Sturgeon County Home Sales

🔻 Sales Volume Down Sharply

27 properties were sold in May 2025, down from 40 during the same month in 2024.
This represents a 32.50% decrease in month-over-month sales.
Year-to-date sales have also fallen by 30.43%, with 80 properties sold in 2025 compared to 115 during the same period in 2024.

➡️ What it means: This notable decline in transaction volume indicates buyers are being more selective, possibly due to elevated interest rates, economic uncertainty, or a lack of available inventory that meets their needs. However, properties that are competitively priced and well-marketed are still moving.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price Rises Significantly

The average sale price in May 2025 reached $805,000, a 10.54% increase from May 2024.
Year-to-date average sale price is $768,000, up 9.84% compared to 2024.

➡️ What it means: Even with fewer sales, prices are climbing—driven by higher demand for premium properties, inflationary construction costs, and limited new listings. Buyers are willing to pay more for quality, well-located acreages, particularly those with updated homes, large parcels, and proximity to Edmonton.

📉 List-to-Sale Ratio Holding Strong

The average ask-to-sell ratio was 96.8% in May 2025, down slightly by 1% from last year.
Year-to-date, the ratio stands at 96.4%, also showing a modest 0.56% decline.

➡️ What it means: Despite price shifts, sellers are still achieving close to their list prices, especially if their pricing strategy is realistic and aligned with market comparable.

Average Days on Market

📉 Faster Sales Are Happening

Properties are moving quicker: average days on market dropped 56.72%, from 67 days in May 2024 to 29 days in May 2025.
Year-to-date, the average time on market has dropped from 94 days to 85 days, a 9.57% improvement.

➡️ What it means: Well-priced and well-presented properties are selling faster than they were a year ago. Buyers know what they want, and when they find it, they act quickly—especially for move-in-ready homes or rare lot sizes.

🏡 What’s Driving the Rural Sturgeon County Market?

Several factors continue to shape buyer and seller behaviour in the region:

1. Demand for Acreage Living Remains High

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been a surge in demand for properties offering land, privacy, and space for hobbies or agricultural pursuits. That demand has not gone away. Many homeowners are trading urban density for a rural lifestyle that supports wellness, family life, and outdoor living.

2. Limited Supply of New Listings

3. Urban Spillover from Edmonton

As housing prices rise in the city, many buyers—particularly families and retirees—are looking toward rural options like Sturgeon County for more affordable space. Proximity to Edmonton makes the area attractive to commuters who want the best of both worlds.

4. Construction Costs Keep Resale Homes Competitive

With building material costs and labour rates still elevated, new builds are becoming increasingly expensive. As a result, resale homes in good condition are seeing stronger price performance, making them attractive alternatives to custom builds.

🔍 Neighbourhood Spotlight: Where Are Buyers Looking?

🛤️ Sturgeon Valley

Known for luxury estate homes and stunning river valley views, this area remains a top choice for affluent buyers. Custom builds and executive acreages are the standard here.

🌾 Gibbons and Bon Accord

These communities attract families and budget-conscious buyers. Their strong sense of community and access to amenities make them ideal for long-term residency.

🚜 Redwater and North Sturgeon

Buyers interested in agricultural use, larger parcels, or recreational properties continue to favour this part of the county. Many of the area’s homesteads and hobby farms are seeing increased buyer interest.

💼 Tips for Sellers in Today’s Market

Price Strategically
The data shows buyers are sensitive to overpricing. If your home sits above comparable sales, you may face longer days on market and steeper negotiations.
Invest in Presentation
Homes that show well with professional photography, staging, and clear listing descriptions are selling significantly faster.
Be Prepared to Negotiate
Even in a rising-price environment, savvy buyers are negotiating hard. Expect back-and-forth and have a clear bottom line.

🛒 Tips for Buyers Looking in Sturgeon County

Get Pre-Approved
Inventory moves quickly—being pre-approved gives you the edge when your dream property hits the market.
Define Your Land Needs
Do you need 2 acres or 20? Are you planning to run a business or hobby farm? Knowing your land-use goals will help narrow your search.
Understand Zoning
Zoning regulations in Sturgeon County can affect whether you can build additional structures, raise livestock, or operate a business. Work with a local agent to verify permitted uses.
Move Quickly on Turnkey Properties
Homes in great condition that are priced right are moving fast—sometimes in under 30 days. Don’t hesitate when the right fit appears.

🔮 Looking Ahead – Summer 2025 Outlook

While May’s numbers show a reduction in overall transaction volume, pricing strength and speed of sale indicate that the rural real estate market in Sturgeon County remains fundamentally strong.

We expect the following trends to continue into the summer:

Inventory will remain tight, keeping upward pressure on prices.
Buyer demand will stay strong, particularly for well-maintained, move-in-ready homes.
Luxury and custom home markets will remain active, especially in Sturgeon Valley and river-adjacent communities.
Days on market will remain low, as buyers make quick decisions in a low-supply environment.

If you’re planning to make a move—either buying or selling—now is a great time to enter the market with a strategy.

Sherwood Park real estate Century 21 Leading Realtor Chris Reid

📊 Key Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – May 2025

Let’s begin with a breakdown of the latest numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers in the community.

Metric	May 2025	% Change (YoY)
Sold Properties	141	-16.07%

Interactive bar graphs

Sherwood Park New MLS® Listings

🏘️ New Listings Slightly Down: A Tighter Inventory

May saw 205 new listings, a 4.65% decrease from the same time last year. Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has seen 781 new listings, which is 1.64% fewer than in 2024.

With fewer homes entering the market and faster selling times, inventory levels remain tight. This limited supply is a key factor in driving up home prices and increasing the competitiveness of the market.

🏷️ Ask Prices Are Stable – But Buyers Are Paying More

Interestingly, the average asking price in May was $508,000, a slight 0.63% decline from May 2024. However, the average sale price was higher, leading to an ask-to-sell ratio of 1.013. This means, on average, homes sold for 1.3% over asking price—a strong indicator of multiple-offer scenarios and bidding wars.

Sellers should take note: pricing your home strategically just below market value may generate more interest and competitive bids, resulting in a sale price that exceeds expectations.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏡 Sales Volume Declines

The most noticeable trend in the Sherwood Park real estate market for May 2025 is the decline in the number of properties sold, dropping by 16.07% compared to the same month last year. Year-to-date, 588 homes have sold, representing a 7.69% decrease over 2024.

While some might see declining sales as a negative indicator, it’s essential to understand this within the broader context: housing prices are on the rise. This divergence suggests the market is being driven by supply-side pressures—there are fewer homes available, but those that do sell are commanding significantly higher prices.

Average Sale Price

💵 Sharp Increase in Sale Prices Signals High Demand

In May 2025, the average sale price in Sherwood Park rose to $537,000, a 14.84% increase from May 2024. This is a substantial leap and illustrates that, despite fewer transactions, buyer demand remains strong and competitive.

When we look at the year-to-date figures, the average sale price sits at $496,000, up 8.04% from the same period last year. This consistent upward trajectory in property values points to ongoing buyer confidence and perceived value in the Sherwood Park community.

🏷️ Ask Prices Are Stable – But Buyers Are Paying More

Sellers should take note: pricing your home strategically just below market value may generate more interest and competitive bids, resulting in a sale price that exceeds expectations.

Average Days on Market

⌛ Homes Are Selling Faster

Homes in Sherwood Park are not only selling for more—they’re selling faster. The average days on market dropped to just 25 days in May, a significant 28.57% reduction year-over-year. Year-to-date, homes are selling within an average of 33 days, which is 28.26% faster than in 2024.

This rapid turnover highlights the urgency among buyers and the effectiveness of pricing strategies by sellers. Homes priced appropriately are receiving offers quickly, often at or above asking price.

🌟 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers looking in Sherwood Park need to be:

Pre-approved and ready to act quickly: With homes selling fast, delays in financing can cost you the home.
Prepared for competition: Be ready for potential bidding wars, especially for homes in prime neighbourhoods.
Flexible on must-haves: Due to low inventory, the perfect home might be harder to find—prioritize needs vs. wants.
Working with an expert local agent: In a competitive market, having professional guidance is essential to navigate negotiations and timelines.

💰 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re thinking of selling, now might be the perfect time. Here’s why:

Higher prices: Homes are selling for more than ever, often above asking.
Faster sales: The average time on market is down to 25 days.
Strong buyer demand: Despite fewer sales, the competition among buyers remains high.
Favourable market conditions: With limited inventory, sellers are in a strong position to negotiate on price and terms.

To maximize your return, ensure your home is well-presented, staged, and professionally marketed—and partner with a Realtor® who understands local trends.

📍 Neighbourhoods to Watch in Sherwood Park

While all of Sherwood Park benefits from its strong community vibe, some neighbourhoods continue to shine:

🌳 Lakeland Ridge

Popular among families due to its top-rated schools and parks, Lakeland Ridge offers a balanced mix of affordability and quality living.

🛍️ Emerald Hills

With nearby shopping centres and modern amenities, Emerald Hills continues to attract professionals and retirees alike.

🏞️ Heritage Hills

For those seeking mature lots, tree-lined streets, and a quiet environment, Heritage Hills is a consistent favourite.

🚸 Summerwood

Newer developments and proximity to major roads make this a hotspot for young families and first-time buyers.

🧭 Where Is the Market Headed?

Based on current trends, the Sherwood Park market is likely to remain robust throughout the summer of 2025. While sales volume may continue to decline slightly due to inventory shortages, prices are expected to remain strong or even continue increasing.

Interest rates, job market stability, and continued migration into the Greater Edmonton Area will all play a role in how the market evolves, but Sherwood Park remains one of the most resilient and desirable locations in the region.

🧠 Expert Tips for Navigating the 2025 Market

For Buyers:

Don’t wait too long: Prices are rising, and homes are selling faster. Lock in a home before rates or values rise further.
Expand your search: Consider homes just outside your preferred area or with potential for renovation.
Get pre-approved: This gives you a competitive edge in multiple-offer situations.

For Sellers:

Stage and declutter: A well-staged home can increase perceived value.
Price smartly: A slight underpricing strategy can lead to higher sale prices through competition.
Market widely: Use professional photos, virtual tours, and social media to reach more buyers.

🔚 Conclusion: Sherwood Park Remains a Smart Investment

In summary, May 2025 brought higher prices, faster sales, and tight inventory to the Sherwood Park real estate market. Despite a drop in overall sales volume, the market is tilted in favour of sellers, while buyers must act fast and be strategic.

Devon Real Estate Market Update: May 2025 Statistics

Devon real estate Century 21 Leading Realtor Chris Reid

Devon Real Estate Market Update: May 2025

The Devon real estate market shows signs of shifting dynamics. The latest statistics reveal notable trends in sold properties, pricing, days on market, and new listings that are important for anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. This in-depth blog will explore those numbers and explain what they mean for your real estate goals.

Interactive bar graphs

Devon New MLS® Listings

21 new listings hit the market in May 2025, a 23.53% increase from May 2024. The YTD numbers show 70 new listings, nearly flat compared to 71 last year (down just 1.41%).

This uptick in monthly listings signals a possible rebalancing: with more homes available and buyer activity easing slightly, Devon’s market could be transitioning from a seller’s market toward a more balanced or buyer-friendly environment.

Average List Price

The average asking price in May 2025 was $397,000, an 8.98% increase from May 2024. Sellers are clearly holding firm on their listing prices, possibly encouraged by the quality of homes on the market or confidence in long-term property values.

Year-to-date, the average asking price in Devon has climbed to $491,000, up 19.49% from $411,000 at the same time last year. This indicates a continued seller expectation that values in Devon will appreciate over time — a strong sign for future growth, especially with the town’s proximity to Edmonton and appealing lifestyle.

Devon Home Sales

In May 2025, 13 homes were sold in Devon, marking a 40.91% decrease from May 2024 when 22 properties sold. This notable drop in activity may signal a shift in buyer behaviour, possibly due to economic uncertainty, rising borrowing costs, or a lack of urgency compared to the post-pandemic market rush.

Looking at the broader picture, year-to-date (YTD) sales also declined. In 2025, 53 homes have sold so far compared to 60 by the same time in 2024, an 11.67% decrease.

This dip could point to buyer hesitation or increasing competition from surrounding communities. However, the real story lies in how pricing and inventory trends are reacting to this slowdown.

Average Sale Price

Buyers should take note: although asking prices have gone up, the average sale price in May 2025 hit $407,000, a 1.79% increase from May 2024. While this rise is modest, it demonstrates continued buyer willingness to meet seller expectations.

Year-to-date, however, tells a slightly different story. The average sale price across all of 2025 is $407,000, a 3.27% decrease from $421,000 in 2024. This cooling may reflect a more cautious buyer pool, increasing negotiation power, or a shift toward lower-priced housing segments.

The key takeaway? Devon’s market still supports healthy pricing, but buyers may have more room to negotiate than they did in the previous two years.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio:

The ask-to-sell ratio in May 2025 was 1.000, meaning homes sold for exactly the listed price on average. However, this is a slight 0.99% decline from the previous year.

Year-to-date, the ratio is sitting at 0.996, which is virtually unchanged from 2024. This ratio confirms that while sellers may be listing higher, buyers are not overpaying — the market is negotiating to a middle ground.

Average Days on Market

One of the most dramatic changes in Devon’s market is how long it’s taking homes to sell.

In May 2025, the average days on market soared to 77, a 140.63% increase from the 32 days recorded in May 2024. Year-to-date, homes are averaging 49 days on market, compared to 43 days last year — a 13.95% increase.

Longer selling times suggest buyers are moving more slowly, evaluating options more thoroughly, or that some listings are overpriced for current market conditions. This can create both challenges and opportunities:

For Sellers: Pricing strategically is now more important than ever.
For Buyers: There’s more time to view properties, negotiate terms, and avoid rushed decisions.

Devon as a Community – Still a Prime Location

Despite the shifting market stats, the community of Devon remains one of the most attractive small towns in the Edmonton region. With easy access to major highways, the airport, and downtown Edmonton, Devon attracts:

Young families looking for safe, affordable neighbourhoods
Retirees seeking peace and green space
Investors looking for long-term upside in a growing community

Its river valley location, abundant trails, and community amenities provide long-term appeal, which continues to bolster property values and demand.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’re a buyer in May 2025:

More Time to Decide: Longer days on market give you more breathing room.
Increased Inventory: More listings mean more selection.
Negotiation Leverage: With sale prices slightly trailing list prices, buyers have more wiggle room to negotiate.

Now is a great time to work with a local REALTOR® who can guide you through current listings, assess fair market value, and ensure you’re making a smart investment in Devon’s still-promising market.

What This Means for Sellers

If you’re thinking about selling in Devon:

Be Strategic with Pricing: Overpricing may lead to extended days on market.
Market Presentation Matters: Homes that are staged well and priced fairly are still selling.
Work With a REALTOR®: Navigating a changing market means expert guidance is critical. From pricing advice to marketing strategy, the right real estate professional makes all the difference.

Investors: Keep Your Eye on Devon

Devon offers stable long-term growth, especially for investors interested in rental properties or buying to renovate. While the average sale price has dipped slightly YTD, the upward trend in asking prices indicates that confidence in Devon’s value remains strong.

With a healthy mix of buyers, a solid rental base, and continued community investment, Devon presents a smart opportunity for the savvy investor — particularly if current market softness allows for favourable entry points.

Final Thoughts: Devon’s Market in Transition, But Opportunity Remains

The Devon real estate market in May 2025 presents a story of balance, transition, and long-term confidence. While some indicators point to a slowdown — like fewer sales and longer days on market — others show resilience, including steady sale prices and rising asking prices.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, Devon offers a welcoming environment and strong future potential. Navigating this shifting market requires data-driven decisions and expert insight — and now is the perfect time to act with clarity and confidence.

Leduc, Alberta Real Estate Market Trends and Investment Opportunities • 5 June 2025

Leduc Real Estate Market Update: May 2025 Statistics

by Christina Reid

Leduc real estate Century 21 Leading Realtor Chris Reid

Leduc Real Estate Market Update: May 2025

The Leduc real estate market continues to shift in intriguing ways. With its strategic location just south of Edmonton, Leduc has grown in popularity among families, investors, and individuals seeking an affordable yet connected lifestyle. As of May 2025, recent data suggests a strong seller’s market in some areas, while also revealing a softening in certain segments. Whether you’re buying, selling, or watching from the sidelines, staying informed about local trends is essential.

Let’s dive deep into what the latest statistics reveal about the real estate market in Leduc, Alberta, as of May 2025—and what it means for you.

📈 Market Snapshot: May 2025

According to the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton, the following are the key performance indicators for Leduc in May 2025:

Metric	Value	YoY Change
Sold Properties	99	↓ 7.48%
Year-to-Date Sold Properties	369	↓ 6.82%

Interactive bar graphs

Leduc New MLS® Listings

May brought a welcome increase in housing inventory in Leduc. There were 142 new listings, up 10.94% YoY, and 530 YTD, up 8.16%.

A growing inventory can be a double-edged sword:

For buyers, it offers more options, reduces competition, and increases negotiating power.
For sellers, more listings mean more competition. However, with strong demand and reduced days on market, properties priced appropriately are still moving quickly.

Average List Price

Average Asking Price: $501,000 in May, a notable 14.45% drop from April. So why the drop in asking prices? One explanation may be a correction in seller expectations. After several months of price escalation, sellers may be adjusting their listings to align more closely with actual market conditions. This recalibration is healthy for market stability and may actually encourage more activity, as buyers perceive better value.

Leduc Home Sales

The number of homes sold in May decreased by 7.48% compared to the same month last year. Year-to-date (YTD), Leduc has seen 369 homes sold, marking a 6.82% decrease from YTD 2024.

This drop in transaction volume may raise eyebrows, but it doesn’t necessarily spell trouble for sellers. In fact, homes are selling faster and for more money, despite fewer transactions. This signals that buyers remain motivated, particularly when properties are priced correctly and well-presented.

Average Sale Price

Average Sale Price: $454,000, showing a healthy 8.84% increase YoY.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Getting What They Ask

Leduc’s ask-to-sell ratio for May stands at 0.991, meaning homes are selling for roughly 99.1% of their asking price. Although this is a slight dip from earlier in the year, it’s still very strong. In balanced markets, ratios between 97-98% are considered healthy.

A high ask-to-sell ratio suggests that homes are being priced accurately or that buyers are willing to meet the price due to the desirability of the property and market conditions.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Time on Market: Speeding Up

One of the most compelling metrics this month is the average number of days on market. Homes in Leduc are now selling in just 32 days on average, a 20% reduction from the previous year.

This speaks volumes about demand. Even with higher borrowing costs due to national interest rates, Leduc buyers are making fast decisions. This is likely due to a combination of strong demand, limited inventory of quality homes, and rising rents pushing people to buy instead of lease.

🏡 Neighbourhood Appeal and Local Growth

Leduc continues to be an attractive option for many buyers relocating from Edmonton or other nearby communities. Here’s why:

Affordability: Compared to Edmonton or St. Albert, Leduc often offers more square footage and newer homes for a lower price per square foot.
Accessibility: With proximity to the Edmonton International Airport and QE2 Highway, Leduc is ideally located for commuters and frequent travellers.
Lifestyle Amenities: Schools, parks, shopping centres, and recreational amenities like the Leduc Recreation Centre make it a family-friendly destination.
New Developments: Communities like West Haven, Meadowview, and Black Stone continue to attract buyers with modern layouts, walkability, and energy-efficient builds.

🧾 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers in Leduc currently enjoy a relatively favourable market:

More Listings: More homes are coming online, giving you more choice.
Faster Market: Be ready to act quickly—homes are selling fast.
Strong Prices: Be prepared to pay close to asking price for well-located, move-in-ready homes.
Mortgage Strategy: Higher interest rates may reduce purchasing power. A pre-approval and rate lock can help ensure you get the home you want within budget.

Whether you’re looking for your first home, an upgrade, or a long-term investment, Leduc remains a smart option—especially as prices continue to rise year-over-year.

💰 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re thinking of selling your home in Leduc, the market conditions are on your side—if you plan strategically:

Price Right: Sellers who list in line with market value are seeing quicker sales and stronger offers.
Prep for Speed: With an average of 32 days on market, you’ll want to have your next move lined up quickly.
Leverage Demand: Well-marketed homes can still attract multiple offers if staged and promoted properly.

With higher YTD sale prices and a robust ask-to-sell ratio, now is an excellent time to list—before summer inventory levels increase even more.

🔮 Market Outlook: What’s Ahead for Leduc?

As we move into the summer, here are some forecasts for the Leduc housing market:

Slight Uptick in Inventory: Expect more listings in June and July, giving buyers additional options but increasing competition among sellers.
Steady Prices: Sale prices should remain strong through summer unless interest rates shift dramatically.
Speed Remains a Factor: Homes will continue to sell fast—especially in desirable neighbourhoods.
Opportunities in Townhomes and Entry-Level Detached Homes: With price increases in detached single-family homes, townhomes and duplexes could see a surge in demand from first-time buyers.

📣 Final Thoughts: Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell in Leduc?

Short answer: Yes—for both buyers and sellers, with the right preparation.

For buyers, May’s data indicates strong market activity with growing inventory. That means more options and better negotiating leverage—especially if you’re ready to move fast.
For sellers, demand is still outpacing supply in certain pockets, especially for homes that are priced appropriately, well-maintained, and located in popular neighbourhoods.

The Leduc market is not overheating, but it’s far from slowing down. It’s a balanced, healthy environment where informed decisions and good strategy matter.

Fort Saskatchewan New MLS® Listings

May 2025 saw 100 new listings, a modest 3.09% increase from May 2024. Year-to-date, there have been 447 listings, nearly flat compared to 446 last year.

This small uptick could signal growing seller confidence as homeowners respond to buyer interest sparked by the spring season.

Fort Saskatchewan Average List Price

The average asking price in May 2025 was $446,000, a 7.01% decrease from May 2024. Year-to-date, the average ask sits at $448,000, reflecting an 8.91% decrease from 2024’s $492,000.

This decline suggests that sellers are adjusting their price expectations to remain competitive. It also indicates a shift away from the peak pricing we saw during the boom of previous years.

Fort Saskatchewan Home Sales

In May 2025, there were 64 sold properties, a sharp 34.69% decrease compared to the 98 homes sold in May 2024. Year-to-date, 337 homes have sold, down 7.67% from the 365 homes sold in the same period last year.

This notable dip may reflect a combination of market fatigue, interest rate sensitivity, and affordability concerns. It may also be seasonal normalization following unusually high activity in recent years.

Fort Saskatchewan Average Home Sale Price

The average sale price for May 2025 came in at $409,000, a 3.40% drop from last year’s $423,000. Year-to-date, the average is $412,000, down 3.17% from 2024’s $426,000.

Though prices are lower, this creates buying opportunities for those entering the market — especially first-time buyers and down-sizers.

Fort Saskatchewan saw an ask-to-sell ratio of 0.999, which means homes are selling for just under their list price — a strong indication that sellers are pricing accurately and buyers are willing to pay near full value.

This figure is slightly up from 0.994 a year earlier and reinforces the importance of smart pricing in today’s market.

Average Days on Market

One of the most telling stats is the improvement in the average days on market, which has dropped to just 30 days — a 41.18% reduction from May 2024. YTD, it now sits at 46 days, down from 68 days a year ago.

This points to a more efficient market. Buyers are acting faster, and homes that are properly priced and marketed are selling swiftly.

🔍 Analysis: What These Trends Mean for You

🧑‍💼 For Sellers

If you’re selling in Fort Saskatchewan, the data indicates that well-priced homes are moving quickly. While the average sale price has dipped, homes are still selling at nearly full asking price and in much less time.

Tips for Sellers:

Price Strategically – Avoid overpricing. The market rewards accuracy.
Focus on Presentation – Clean, stage, and photograph your home professionally.
Act Quickly – The spring window can be short. Don’t delay your listing.
Work with a Local Expert – Market knowledge is key in this shifting environment.

🧑‍💼 For Buyers

For buyers, the drop in prices is an advantage, but competition remains, especially for well-located and updated homes. With homes selling faster, it’s important to be financially prepared and ready to act quickly when you find the right property.

Tips for Buyers:

Get Pre-Approved – Know your budget and lock in rates early.
Be Offer-Ready – In a market with reduced DOM, delays can cost you a home.
Explore All Options – Some listings may offer more value than they appear to at first glance.
Negotiate Smart – Even in a tight market, there may be room to negotiate based on inspection findings or flexible timelines.

🏙️ Why Fort Saskatchewan Remains a Desirable Market

Despite the recent cooling in numbers, Fort Saskatchewan remains one of Alberta’s most attractive small cities for homeownership. It offers:

Proximity to Edmonton, with easy commuting access
Strong local economy, bolstered by petrochemical and industrial sectors
Family-friendly neighbourhoods with parks, trails, and great schools
A mix of housing options, from starter homes to luxury properties

With more attainable price points than Edmonton and faster commute times than other bedroom communities, Fort Saskatchewan continues to draw interest from a wide range of buyers.

📅 What to Expect in the Coming Months

The second half of the year will likely see continued adjustments as both buyers and sellers respond to broader economic signals, including:

Potential interest rate cuts
Stabilizing inflation
New construction inventory releases
Shifting consumer confidence

Expectations:

Continued price stability, with possible modest declines in some property types
Fewer listings than historical averages, creating continued demand
Consistent demand from first-time buyers and people relocating, especially those priced out of Edmonton
