As 2025 draws to a close, the Beaumont real estate market finishes the year with a surprisingly active December.

Beaumont New MLS® Listings

🏘️ Listings Rise by Nearly 40%

A total of 36 new listings hit the Beaumont market in December—a 38.46% increase over the same time last year. This is particularly notable considering many homeowners traditionally wait until spring to list.

The jump in listings suggests:

Sellers are trying to get ahead of 2026 market competition
Inventory is less seasonal than in past years
Investor-owned properties and vacant builder inventory are being actively marketed

Average Asking Price

💰 Asking Prices Surge to $603,000

The average asking price hit $603,000, a 10.07% increase from December 2024. This is the highest monthly list price recorded in 2025, reflecting strong seller expectations and confidence in the long-term value of Beaumont homes.

However, rising list prices do not always align with final sale prices—especially in slower winter markets.

Beaumont Home Sales

📈 Sales Jump 24% Year-over-Year

Beaumont saw 31 homes sold in December 2025, up from 25 last December—a 24% increase. This is an unusual trend, as December is typically one of the slowest months for real estate.

Key contributors to this unexpected rise include:

Buyers locking in purchases before expected 2026 rate adjustments
Builders offering year-end incentives on quick possessions
Sellers pricing more competitively, generating renewed activity

Average Sale Price

📉 Sale Prices Fall: Down 8.66% from Last Year

The average sale price for December was $523,000, down from an estimated $572,600 the year prior. This 8.66% year-over-year decline suggests that buyers are pushing back on inflated pricing or choosing more modest, entry-level homes.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Falls to 98.0%

Beaumont’s ask-to-sell ratio dipped to 98.0%, a modest 0.54% drop from last year. This means homes sold for about 2% below their list price, on average.

While not drastic, this reflects a market where negotiation is now standard, and buyers are no longer willing to meet aggressive seller expectations without justification.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Homes Take 99 Days to Sell

On average, homes took 99 days to sell in December, marking a 1.02% increase year-over-year. This metric remained relatively stable compared to prior months but is significantly higher than the spring average.

Contributing factors include:

Seasonal slowdown and delayed closings over the holidays
Increased negotiation cycles
Market fatigue from earlier in the year

Sellers listing in late fall should expect 3+ months to sale unless their property is in top condition and competitively priced.

📅 2025 Year-End Summary (YTD Totals)

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Sold Properties	448	532	↓ 15.79%
Average Asking Price	$584,000	$564,000	↑ 3.54%
Average Sale Price	$542,000	$580,000	↓ 6.68%
New Listings	857	697	↑ 22.96%
Days on Market	53	73	↓ 27.40%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio	98.9%	99.3%	↓ 0.34%

🔍 What does this tell us about the year overall?

Sales volume slowed but remained stable in a shifting economic climate
Buyers gained more control, leading to price softening
Sellers remained optimistic, keeping asking prices higher
Inventory grew substantially, shifting the market toward balance

Beaumont

🧠 Buyer Takeaways: Smart Timing, More Options

🎯 More Homes to Choose From – With 857 new listings this year and 36 in December alone, inventory levels are high.

💲 Price Reductions Are Real – With the average sale price down 6.68% YTD, buyers can find value—especially in homes listed for 60+ days.

💡 Use Leverage – Homes are selling under list, and conditions like inspection, financing, and extended possession are back on the table.

💼 Seller Strategies: Adapt to the Data

📦 Expect a Longer Timeline – 99 days DOM means sellers need to plan ahead, especially if they’re coordinating a move.

📸 Marketing Still Wins – Homes with great visuals, floor plans, and virtual tours are outperforming those without.

📉 Price to the Market, Not the Memory – Listing at spring or summer prices from earlier in the year could lead to stagnation.

💬 Consider incentives like landscaping credits, appliances, or flexible possession dates to stand out.

🔮 Forecast for Q1 2026

As we move into the new year, here’s what to expect:

🧊 January and February will likely remain slow, especially for higher-priced homes
📈 Renewed interest may build in March, with buyers motivated by rate predictions or job transfers
🛠️ Builders may continue offering incentives, making new construction more competitive
📊 Prices will likely stabilize, but homes will need sharp pricing to sell

Buyers: Now is a good time to shop—competition is low, and sellers are flexible.
Sellers: Use January to prepare. Renovate, clean, stage, and price right. Spring buyers are coming.

Sherwood Park New MLS® Listings

🆕 New Listings – Seller Confidence on the Rise

With 61 new listings hitting the market in December, Sherwood Park experienced a 17.31% increase compared to December 2024. This growth in inventory, especially during the holiday season, indicates that homeowners are optimistic about market conditions and looking to capitalize on strong buyer demand.

This is a good sign for buyers as well—more listings mean increased options, particularly heading into the typically more active spring market.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price – Steady Increase in Value

The average asking price in Sherwood Park was $528,000, representing a 9.09% year-over-year increase. Sellers are clearly pricing with confidence, supported by recent sales trends and price growth in surrounding communities.

This uptick in list price suggests that homes with premium features, updated interiors, and desirable locations are commanding stronger list prices, further pushing the market upward.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity – Strong Finish to the Year

In December 2025, Sherwood Park recorded 41 sales, a notable 28.13% increase compared to the same time last year. While it’s expected for sales to slow in the winter months, this upswing signals renewed buyer confidence, especially given the tighter inventory observed throughout the fall.

This marks the third month in a row with year-over-year gains in sold properties, suggesting momentum may carry into Q1 of 2026.

Average Sale Price

🏷️ Sold Price – Solid Close at $518,000

The average sale price for a home in Sherwood Park in December 2025 reached $518,000, a 9.98% increase over December 2024. This continues a trend of strong price performance in the second half of the year and reflects healthy demand.

Homes are not only selling faster than last year but also closer to their asking price, indicating a market that’s efficiently priced and attractive to serious buyers.

📈 List-to-Sale Price Ratio – Nearly Full Price

The list-to-sale price ratio in December was 98%, meaning most homes sold within 2% of their asking price. This is a subtle but meaningful improvement over last year’s 97% ratio, and reflects the minimal room for negotiation in Sherwood Park’s desirable neighbourhoods.

Sellers who price realistically and work with experienced REALTORS® are being rewarded with strong final sale prices, often after minimal time on the market.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market – Homes Selling Faster

The average Days on Market (DOM) dropped to 48 days, down from 56 a year ago—a 14.29% improvement. This shorter selling window signals that well-prepared, competitively priced homes are being snapped up more quickly, especially when staged effectively and marketed aggressively.

As inventory remains below long-term averages, buyers continue to act quickly on properties that offer great value.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2025 vs. 2024)

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Total Homes Sold	825	761	+8.41%
Average List Price	$522,000	$487,000	+7.19%
Average Sale Price	$511,000	$474,000	+7.80%
Days on Market	40	47	-14.89%

Sherwood Park wrapped up 2025 with notable gains across all key metrics. Year-over-year increases in sales volume and pricing reflect a healthy and appreciating suburban market, ideal for both move-up buyers and long-term investors.

🧭 What This Means for Buyers

If you’re considering buying in Sherwood Park, now is a great time to explore the available winter inventory before the spring rush begins. With listings increasing and homes selling efficiently, serious buyers can still find quality properties without facing extreme competition.

Working with a local REALTOR® can help you get a head start on coming soon listings, builder incentives, and flexible closing dates.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers should feel confident entering the market in early 2026, especially as buyer demand remains steady and average sale prices continue to climb. December’s strong results indicate that buyers are still active and willing to act quickly—particularly when homes are priced right, staged effectively, and marketed with strong digital presence.

If you’re thinking about listing in the next 30–90 days, now is the time to get your property ready with pre-listing photography, market analysis, and showing prep.

🔮 Forecast for 2026 – Balanced Growth Ahead

As we step into the new year, the Sherwood Park market is poised for continued strength, with balanced conditions expected through the spring. Interest rates are expected to remain relatively stable, and migration into the Edmonton Region continues to support local housing demand.

We may see an early start to the spring market, especially with rising rental rates pushing tenants toward ownership. Watch for more first-time buyer activity, upsizers, and interprovincial relocations in the coming months.

🛠️ Builder + Resale Blend in 2026

Sherwood Park continues to offer a diverse mix of resale homes and new construction, appealing to a wide range of buyers. Whether you’re looking for modern townhomes in Emerald Hills, estate properties in Sherwood Golf & Country Club Estates, or family-friendly communities like Lakeland Ridge, this market has it all.

I work closely with builders and homeowners alike—so no matter your preference, I’ll help you find the right fit.

Rural Sturgeon County Real Estate Market Update: December 2025

by Christina Reid

Sturgeon Country Realtor Chris Reid Century 21 Leading

Rural Sturgeon County Real Estate Market Update: December 2025 Statistics

As 2025 comes to a close, the real estate market in Rural Sturgeon County reflects the broader trends seen across many rural markets in Alberta—slightly softened activity, longer selling times, and ongoing shifts in pricing expectations. For buyers, sellers, and investors keeping an eye on acreage and country residential properties in the Sturgeon County region, this report delivers an in-depth overview of what December 2025 had to offer.

From average list and sale prices to days on market and sales-to-list ratios, this market update breaks down each key statistic, compares year-over-year trends, and helps you make confident, data-driven real estate decisions.

📊 Rural Sturgeon County – December 2025 Market Snapshot

✅ Key Stats:

Metric	December 2025	December 2024	% Change
Total Sales	5	5	0.0%
New Listings	8	7	+14.3%
Average List Price	$911,600	$940,486	–3.1%
Average Sale Price	$885,000	$933,000	–5.1%
Sales-to-List Price Ratio	97.1%	99.2%	–2.1%
Average Days on Market	100 days	91 days	+9.9%

Interactive bar graphs

Rural Sturgeon County New MLS® Listings

🏷️ New Listings

There were 11 new listings in December 2025, compared to 12 new listings in December 2024. The relatively flat change in new inventory suggests that seller confidence is steady, even if buyer activity has waned.

This also means inventory remains modestly replenished, which could help keep prices more stable moving into 2026.

Average List Price

💰 Average List Price

The average asking price for properties in Rural Sturgeon County in December 2025 came in at $1,072,109, a noticeable increase from $829,141 in December 2024.

This 29% increase in average list price may seem dramatic at first glance, but it reflects a shift in inventory composition—more higher-end acreages and estate homes were listed this December compared to last year, pushing the average up. It’s not necessarily indicative of a major price jump across all property types.

Rural Sturgeon County Home Sales

📉 Total Sales Activity

In December 2025, there were 8 properties sold in Rural Sturgeon County, marking a decline from the 12 properties sold in December 2024. This represents a 33% year-over-year drop in volume for the month.

While this kind of slowdown is typical during the winter months, it’s also consistent with a broader cooling in rural markets across Alberta due to increased borrowing costs and more selective buyer behaviour.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price

Despite higher list prices, the average sale price in December 2025 was $796,100, which is also an increase from $686,125 in December 2024.

That’s a 16% year-over-year increase in sale price. Again, this reflects the presence of larger or more premium homes in the sales mix this month. It’s important for sellers to remember that list price increases don’t always translate directly to sale price gains.

📊 Sales-to-List Price Ratio

The sales-to-list price ratio dropped slightly to 96.6% in December 2025, compared to 98.2% in December 2024.

This means sellers, on average, received just under 97% of their asking price, which is typical in a market where buyers have more room to negotiate. It also suggests that while list prices increased, buyers remained cautious and budget-conscious.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market (DOM)

Homes in Rural Sturgeon County spent an average of 81 days on market in December 2025, up from 74 days in December 2024.

This modest increase in DOM highlights a slightly slower pace of sales, with buyers taking longer to act—likely influenced by economic uncertainty and the holiday season. However, 81 days is still within a normal range for rural listings.

📆 Year-to-Date Snapshot (Jan–Dec 2025)

Now that the full year of 2025 has passed, we can reflect on how the market has performed compared to 2024. Below is a comprehensive Year-to-Date Comparison Table:

📊 Rural Sturgeon County – Year-to-Date Comparison (Jan–Dec)

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Sold Properties	151	182	-17.0%
Average Asking Price	$922,581	$873,732	+5.6%
Average Sale Price	$757,109	$733,138	+3.3%
Days on Market	93	91	+2.2%
Sales-to-List Ratio	97.1%	97.3%	-0.2%
New Listings	285	328	-13.1%

🔍 Market Interpretation

The 2025 Rural Sturgeon County acreage market displayed moderate resilience, despite overall lower sales volume and longer selling times compared to 2024. A few key takeaways:

Higher price points are showing up more frequently in listings, leading to a rising average list price.
Buyers remain selective, which is softening the sales-to-list ratio and increasing days on market.
Inventory is tightening slightly, with 13% fewer new listings year-over-year.

While not a red-hot market, Rural Sturgeon County is seeing stabilized pricing and ongoing demand for premium rural homes, especially those offering space, privacy, and upgraded amenities.

🛠️ Advice for Sellers

If you’re thinking of selling your acreage in Sturgeon County:

Price strategically: Overpricing may lead to extended time on market or the need for future price reductions.
Prepare for negotiation: Most homes are selling slightly below asking price.
Stage for lifestyle: Highlight the acreage lifestyle—space, privacy, outbuildings, and scenic surroundings.

🧭 Guidance for Buyers

For buyers:

Take your time: Properties are sitting longer, which means less competition and more room for thoughtful decisions.
Work with a rural expert: Country residential properties come with unique considerations—septic systems, wells, zoning—so having an experienced agent is key.
Be ready to move when the right acreage pops up, especially in spring when more listings are expected.

🔮 Looking Ahead to 2026

With interest rates potentially easing in 2026 and more balance expected across rural and suburban markets, spring 2026 may bring increased inventory and a return to more typical sales activity.

Buyers and sellers should continue to monitor pricing trends and stay informed about local market dynamics—not just broad economic headlines.

➡️ 520 listings in 2025, a 2.36% increase from 508 listings in 2024.

What it means: Sellers are cautiously entering the market, contributing to stable inventory levels. If you’re considering listing, early 2026 might be a great time to stand out before the spring rush.

Average List Price

💰 Average Asking Price: Sellers Staying Optimistic

The average asking price in December 2025 reached $569,000, showing a modest increase of 2.02% over December 2024.

Looking at the full year:
➡️ YTD average asking price in 2025 was $487,000, up 4.37% from 2024.

What it means: Sellers are maintaining confidence in the market. With low inventory levels typical of winter and consistent demand for rural properties, sellers have been able to list their homes at higher price points throughout the year.

Lac Ste Anne Home Sales

📉 Sold Properties: Seasonal Dip but Strong Year Overall

In December 2025, only 10 properties were sold in Rural Lac Ste. Anne — a 23.08% decline compared to December 2024. This slowdown is typical of the winter season when many buyers and sellers choose to pause their real estate activities due to holidays and colder weather.

However, the year-to-date picture tells a different story:
➡️ 311 total properties sold in 2025, up 14.76% from 2024, which saw 271 sales.

What it means: Despite a slow December, overall buyer demand remained strong throughout the year. If you’re planning to list in early 2026, there is clear evidence that buyers are active and motivated — especially for well-priced acreages and recreational properties.

Average Sale Price

🔻 Average Sale Price: Down Sharply This Month

In contrast to asking prices, the average sale price for December 2025 was $301,000, a significant drop of 22.99% from the same month last year. This large decline is likely due to a shift in the type of properties sold — potentially more vacant land or lower-value homes.

However, the annual trend is still positive:
➡️ YTD average sale price sits at $434,000, up 7.20% from 2024’s $405,000.

What it means: Although this month’s sales pulled down the average, the overall appreciation of property values is clear. Buyers should be aware of this growing market, while sellers can be confident in long-term pricing trends.

📈 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Still Getting Close to Asking

The average ask-to-sell ratio in December 2025 was 95.1%, up 3.53% year-over-year

. This means buyers are negotiating less off the asking price.

For the year:
➡️ The ratio sat at 96.6%, only slightly down from 96.9% in 2024.

What it means: Sellers are still able to retain most of their asking price, even in a slower December market. This shows a healthy balance between buyer demand and seller expectations.

Average Days on Market

🗓️ Days on Market: Longer Wait Times in December

The average number of days on market in December was 114 days, up 12.87% from the previous year.

Looking at the yearly average:
➡️ 92 days on market for 2025, slightly up 2.22% from 90 days in 2024

What it means: Properties are taking longer to sell, especially in the off-season. This reinforces the importance of strong marketing, competitive pricing, and patience when listing during winter.

🎯 What This Means for Buyers

If you’re a buyer entering the market in early 2026, December’s data suggests some real opportunities. With fewer buyers active, sellers may be more flexible in negotiations — especially on properties that have been on the market for longer. The decline in December’s sale prices may also reflect buying opportunities for lower-priced land, cabins, or fixer-uppers.

Pro tip: Don’t wait for spring if you’re serious. Some of the best acreage deals in Lac Ste. Anne happen in Q1 when competition is low.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

Despite the December dip, 2025 closed out with strong growth in both prices and sales. If you’re planning to sell in 2026, now is the time to prepare your property for early-year buyers. Ensure your home is staged, priced strategically, and marketed to reach both local and out-of-area buyers looking for rural living.

Pro tip: Start marketing now for spring exposure. Buyers looking to move before summer start searching in February and March.

🔮 Looking Ahead to 2026

As Lac Ste. Anne continues to attract buyers looking for more space, recreational opportunities, and affordability compared to urban centres, we expect steady growth into 2026. Inventory will remain a key factor — if new listings increase, buyers will have more leverage. But if inventory stays tight, sellers may continue to command higher prices.

Devon New MLS® Listings

📦 Inventory & Listings

Devon saw 7 new listings in December, while total inventory sat at 17 homes. These are typical winter numbers for a town of Devon’s size. The low volume of new listings could create favourable conditions for sellers heading into early 2026.

Average List Price

💰 Asking Price Trends

The average asking price in Devon for December 2025 came in at $439,157, a slight drop from the previous month, signalling that sellers may be adjusting expectations to align more closely with market demand. Despite the modest adjustment, this still reflects a strong pricing benchmark for the town, given that sale prices continue to exceed list prices.

Devon Home Sales

🏠 Home Sales: Stable Performance to Close the Year

Devon saw 4 residential sales in December 2025, which aligns with typical winter market expectations in a smaller town. While this number is slightly lower than peak spring and summer months, it’s a strong indicator of consistent buyer demand, even during the holidays. With only 17 active listings on the market, this modest number of sales represents meaningful absorption. This trend of steady end-of-year sales—despite colder weather and limited new inventory—reinforces the confidence buyers have in Devon’s market. Sellers can take comfort knowing that homes are still moving, especially when priced and marketed effectively.

Average Sale Price

💵 Selling Prices: Stronger Than List Price Again

Interestingly, the average selling price was $443,875, meaning homes sold for about 1.1% more than the list price. This above-asking result indicates strong buyer competition, even in a winter market—suggesting that well-priced, well-presented homes are still commanding attention and premium results.

📈 Sales-to-List Ratio

With a sales-to-list ratio of 101.1%, this stat confirms Devon as a strong seller’s market for December. Any ratio above 100% indicates that, on average, homes are selling above asking price—an excellent signal of market strength despite the season.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market (DOM)

The average DOM dropped to just 25 days in December, showcasing how quickly homes are moving in Devon when priced and marketed well. Compared to earlier in the year, where we saw periods exceeding 35–40 days, this marks an encouraging shift as buyer urgency returns.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2025 vs. 2024)

Here’s how the Devon real estate market stacked up year-over-year:

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Sold Properties	97	108	-10.2%
New Listings	139	140	-0.7%
Average Asking Price	$440,036	$409,757	+7.4%
Average Selling Price	$438,211	$404,323	+8.4%
Average DOM	35	36	-2.8%
Sales-to-List Ratio	99.6%	98.7%	+0.9%

Interpretation:

Sales volume was slightly lower in 2025, but this was offset by stronger pricing and faster sales.
Average home prices increased by over 8%, making 2025 a favourable year for homeowners.
A consistent DOM suggests market stability.
Sellers gained more ground on list price, reflected in the sales-to-list ratio increase.

🏘️ What This Means for Sellers

If you’re a homeowner in Devon considering listing in early 2026:

The average sale price is up 8.4% year-over-year.
Inventory remains limited, especially over winter.
Homes are still selling fast and above list price, especially if professionally marketed.

💡 Now is an ideal time to prep your home for spring or take advantage of motivated winter buyers.

🔑 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers looking in Devon should be aware:

Well-priced homes are moving quickly and sometimes over asking.
Inventory remains tight, meaning limited choice and increased competition.
That said, interest rates may begin to stabilize or decline in 2026, offering better affordability.

💡 Have your financing in place and work with a local expert (like me!) to jump quickly when a great home hits the market.

🌟 Why Devon?

Devon continues to attract buyers because of its:

Proximity to Edmonton and Nisku
Scenic river valley and outdoor lifestyle
Family-friendly neighbourhoods like Highwood, South Ravines, and Athabasca Acres
Community feel with small-town charm and solid property value growth

With property values rising and homes selling over asking, Devon presents a favourable opportunity for both buyers and sellers—whether you’re looking for a detached home, bungalow, or starter property.

🧠 Forecast for Early 2026

Looking ahead:

Expect continued low inventory and healthy demand in Q1 2026.
Detached homes will continue leading the market.
If interest rates ease, we may see a wave of buyers re-entering the market, pushing prices further.

Sellers should prepare now to capitalize on early 2026 momentum, while buyers will benefit from acting before competition heats up.

Leduc New MLS® Listings

🏠 New Listings: Supply Remains Strong

56 new listings were added to the market in December 2025, a 9.80% increase from the 51 listings seen the year prior. For buyers, this meant more options than usual for a winter market.

YTD, Leduc saw 1,231 new listings, a 17.35% increase over 2024. This higher level of inventory helped fuel sales later in the year and eased pressure on buyers without heavily impacting home values.

Average List Price

📈 Average Asking Price

December’s average asking price was $522,000, a 10.79% increase over the previous year. This rise reflects growing seller confidence and the increasing quality of listings on the market.

On a YTD basis, the average asking price reached $486,000, up 4.81% from 2024’s average of $463,000.

Leduc Home Sales

✅ Sold Properties Soar

62 homes were sold in Leduc during December 2025, representing an 87.88% increase from December 2024 (which saw just 33 sales). This is a remarkable end-of-year performance, driven by motivated buyers and increased inventory availability.

However, year-to-date (YTD) sales for 2025 totalled 841 homes, a 2.66% decrease from the 864 homes sold in 2024. This small decline reflects early-year softening that was ultimately offset by a stronger second half

Average Sale Price

💰 Home Prices Rise Across the Board

📈 Average Sale Price

The average sale price in December 2025 was $467,000, a 9.47% increase from December 2024. This monthly growth reflects stronger buyer confidence, competitive offers, and continued demand for single-family homes and well-located properties.

YTD average sale price reached $447,000, up 5.44% from $424,000 in 2024—highlighting steady appreciation throughout the year.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio

The average ask-to-sell ratio in December 2025 was 98.3%, a slight 1.06% decrease from last year. This means that, on average, homes sold for just under asking price—offering some negotiation flexibility while still favouring sellers.

On a yearly basis, the ask-to-sell ratio was 98.9%, slightly down from 99.2% in 2024, which still suggests a highly competitive environment with minimal price concessions

Average Days on Market

🗓️ Days on Market

Properties in December 2025 spent an average of 58 days on the market, up 13.73% compared to the 51-day average in December 2024. While slightly longer than last year, this remains a healthy timeframe and suggests buyers are still moving fairly quickly, even in winter months.

YTD days on market rose to 46 days, a 4.55% increase from 44 days in 2024—indicating a slightly slower pace overall.

📊 December 2025 Market Summary

Metric	December 2025	% Change (YoY)

Days on Market	46	44	↑ 4.55%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio	0.989	0.992	↓ 0.32%

💡 What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:

The Leduc market saw a strong finish in 2025, but the increase in listings and slight DOM rise means more breathing room.
Prices remain on the rise—getting in before the 2026 spring market could offer savings.
Multiple property types are available, and negotiation is possible, especially on homes sitting longer.

For Sellers:

Strong year-end demand means winter listings can still perform well.
With prices trending up and inventory still moving, strategic pricing and presentation are essential.
Leverage YTD gains and active buyer interest while preparing early for the spring wave.

Final Thoughts

Despite a dip in annual sales, Leduc’s December 2025 market ended the year on a high note, with nearly double the sales volume of the previous December, robust price appreciation, and expanding listing activity. As we head into 2026, the market continues to favour sellers, but improved inventory means more choice and opportunity for motivated buyers.

Fort Saskatchewan Real Estate Market- December 2025

by Christina Reid

Fort Saskatchewan realtor CHRIS REID Century 21 Leading

Fort Saskatchewan Real Estate Market December 2025

December traditionally marks the slowest month of the year for real estate activity, and December 2025 in Fort Saskatchewan followed that expected seasonal pattern. With colder weather, holiday commitments, and year-end planning taking priority, both buyers and sellers tend to pause major housing decisions until the new year.

That said, December’s numbers offer valuable insight — not just into how the month performed, but into how Fort Saskatchewan’s real estate market closed out all of 2025. When viewed through a year-to-date lens, the data confirms that while activity levels softened from 2024 highs, pricing resilience, balanced conditions, and strong underlying demand remained firmly in place.

For buyers, December presented quieter conditions and selective opportunities. For sellers, the month reinforced the importance of pricing accuracy and patience. Let’s break down the numbers and what they mean as Fort Saskatchewan transitions into 2026.

Fort Saskatchewan Market Snapshot – December 2025

Metric	December 2025	% Change vs December 2024	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change YTD
Sold Properties	34	-8.11%	707	775	-8.77%
New Listings	31	-11.43%	903	938	-3.73%
Average Asking Price	$522,000	+17.05%	$461,000	$475,000	-2.80%
Average Sale Price	$425,000	-26.63%	$459,000	$449,000	+2.36%
Days on Market	74	+34.55%	47	57	-17.54%

Fort Saskatchewan New MLS® Listings

New Listings: Inventory Tightens Further at Year-End

Only 31 new listings were added to the Fort Saskatchewan market in December 2025, a 11.43% decrease compared to December 2024. This reduction is typical for December, as many homeowners opt to wait until spring to list their properties.

Year-to-date, 903 new listings were recorded, down 3.73% from 938 listings in 2024. This modest decline in supply helped prevent over saturation, supporting price stability despite softer demand in certain months.

For active buyers, fewer listings meant limited short-term selection, particularly in popular family-oriented price ranges. For sellers, reduced competition provided an advantage — provided pricing and presentation were aligned with current market realities.

Fort Saskatchewan Average List Price

Average Asking Price: A Monthly Spike Driven by Listing Mix

One of the standout figures in December was the average asking price, which jumped to $522,000, representing a 17.05% increase compared to December 2024.

This sharp increase does not necessarily signal broad-based price inflation. Instead, it reflects the composition of listings that entered the market in December. Higher-end homes and newer properties were more prevalent, pushing the average upward despite lower overall activity.

Looking at the full year, the average asking price for 2025 was $461,000, down 2.80% from $475,000 in 2024. This confirms that sellers adjusted pricing expectations throughout the year in response to buyer affordability and interest-rate sensitivity.

Fort Saskatchewan Home Sales

Sold Properties: A Predictable Seasonal Slowdown

In December 2025, Fort Saskatchewan recorded 34 sold properties, representing an 8.11% decrease compared to December 2024. This decline aligns closely with historical seasonal norms, as fewer buyers and sellers remain active during the holiday period.

On a year-to-date basis, total sales reached 707 transactions, down 8.77% from 775 sales in 2024. While this reflects a reduction in overall activity, it’s important to contextualize this change. The Fort Saskatchewan market experienced exceptionally strong conditions in recent years, and 2025 represented a year of normalization rather than contraction.

Buyers remained present throughout the year, but they were more deliberate and price-sensitive — contributing to a steadier, more sustainable pace of sales.

Fort Saskatchewan Average Home Sale Price

Average Sale Price: Monthly Dip, Annual Growth Preserved

The average sale price in December 2025 was $425,000, a 26.63% decrease compared to December 2024. This significant month-over-month drop is primarily attributable to low sales volume and property mix, as fewer transactions can dramatically influence monthly averages.

Importantly, the year-to-date average sale price reached $459,000, representing a 2.36% increase over $449,000 in 2024. This confirms that despite month-to-month volatility, Fort Saskatchewan home values increased over the course of the year.

From a long-term perspective, this modest appreciation underscores the city’s resilience and continued appeal to buyers seeking affordability, space, and community amenities.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Negotiation Present but Controlled

The average ask-to-sell ratio in December 2025 was 0.978, meaning homes sold for 97.8% of their asking price. This represents a slight 0.85% decline compared to December 2024, suggesting buyers negotiated modestly more at year-end.

Year-to-date, however, the ratio stood at a robust 0.997, up 0.48% from 2024. This confirms that across the year, sellers consistently achieved near-full asking price, highlighting Fort Saskatchewan’s balanced market conditions.

Negotiations in 2025 were data-driven and measured rather than aggressive — a hallmark of a healthy market.

Average Days on Market

Days on Market: Slower December, Faster Year Overall

Homes took longer to sell in December, with an average of 74 days on market, up 34.55% from December 2024. This slower pace reflects reduced buyer activity during the holiday season and winter weather conditions.

However, the year-to-date average days on market was just 47 days, down 17.54% from 57 days in 2024. This indicates that across the full year, homes actually sold faster than last year, reinforcing the strength of buyer demand outside of seasonal slowdowns.

Sellers listing during winter months should expect longer timelines but can still achieve success with patience and strong marketing.

Year-to-Date Market Overview: How 2025 Finished

As Fort Saskatchewan closed out 2025, the data reveals a market characterized by:

Slightly lower sales volume, reflecting normalization
Stable inventory levels, preventing oversupply
Year-over-year price growth, despite monthly volatility
Faster average selling times across the year
Strong pricing integrity, supported by high ask-to-sell ratios

Overall, 2025 delivered a sustainable and balanced housing environment, setting the stage for a steady transition into 2026.

Buyer Guidance: Strategic Opportunities Moving into 2026

For buyers, December reinforced the value of preparation and timing. While inventory was limited, competition was lower, creating opportunities for those willing to act during quieter months.

Buyer advantages include:

Less competition from other buyers
Motivated sellers open to negotiation
Stable pricing trends heading into the new year
Potential interest rate relief in 2026

Buyers who enter the market early in the new year with financing secured will be well-positioned as activity begins to increase.

Seller Guidance: Positioning for a Strong Spring Market

For sellers considering a move in 2026, December highlighted the importance of planning ahead.

Key seller takeaways:

Pricing accuracy is critical — overpricing leads to longer days on market
Presentation and marketing matter, especially online
Spring preparation (repairs, staging, pricing strategy) should begin early
Professional guidance remains essential in a balanced market

Sellers who prepare now are often best positioned to capitalize on renewed buyer demand in the spring.

Market Forecast: What to Expect in Early 2026

Looking ahead, Fort Saskatchewan is expected to enter 2026 with stable fundamentals and cautious optimism. Population growth, employment stability, and relative affordability continue to support demand.

If borrowing conditions improve, buyer confidence may strengthen — particularly in the entry-level and mid-range segments. However, pricing growth is expected to remain measured rather than aggressive, favouring long-term sustainability.

Final Thoughts: A Balanced Close to 2025

December 2025 marked a calm and controlled conclusion to the Fort Saskatchewan real estate year. While seasonal slowdowns affected monthly figures, the broader data confirms that the market remained resilient, balanced, and fundamentally sound.

For buyers, sellers, and investors alike, Fort Saskatchewan continues to offer strong value, predictable conditions, and long-term opportunity within the Edmonton region.

St. Albert Real Estate Market Statistics Update: December 2025

by Christina Reid

St. Albert Realtor Chris Reid Century 21 Leading

St. Albert Real Estate Market Update: December 2025

As we close out 2025, the St. Albert real estate market once again proves why it is one of the most stable and desirable housing markets in the Edmonton region. December traditionally brings a seasonal slowdown in activity, and this year was no exception. However, when we step back and look at the broader picture, the data tells a compelling story of price growth, improving inventory, and long-term market resilience.

For buyers, December 2025 presented opportunities to purchase with less competition and more negotiating power. For sellers, the year finished with solid equity gains and confirmation that St. Albert continues to outperform many surrounding markets. Whether you’re planning a move in early 2026 or simply keeping an eye on market trends, understanding December’s numbers provides valuable insight into where the market is headed next.

For personalized advice on buying or selling in St. Albert, contact Christina Reid, REALTOR® with Century 21 Leading, at (780) 717-5267.

📊 St. Albert December 2025 Market Snapshot

Here’s a breakdown of the key statistics for December 2025:

54 homes sold, down 14.29% from December 2024
Average sale price: $522,000, up 10.29% year-over-year
Average asking price: $622,000, up 10.18%
70 new listings, up 9.38%
67 days on market, up 1.52%
Average ask-to-sell ratio: 0.979

At first glance, the lower number of sales may appear concerning. However, December is historically the slowest month of the year for real estate. The more important story lies in the strong price appreciation and healthy year-to-date performance.

📈 Year-to-Date (YTD) Summary – January to December 2025

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Homes Sold	1,473	1,490	-1.14%

St. Albert New Listing Count

📦 New Listings: Inventory Growth Continues

December saw 70 new listings, a 9.38% increase compared to December 2024. Although December inventory levels are typically lower than spring or summer, the year-over-year increase suggests that more sellers were willing to list late in the year.

For 2025 as a whole:

2,012 new listings, up 7.94% year-over-year

This growth in inventory helped bring greater balance to the market, offering buyers more choice while preventing extreme upward pressure on prices.

Average List Price

🏷️ Average Asking Price: Sellers Remain Confident

The average asking price in December 2025 was $622,000, an increase of 10.18% year-over-year. This notable jump shows that sellers remained confident in their pricing strategies, even as activity slowed.

Across the full year, the average asking price was $562,000, up 4.89% from 2024. Sellers clearly adjusted prices upward throughout the year in response to rising values and sustained demand.

While not every listing sold at asking price in December, the pricing trend reinforces the perception of long-term market strength.

St. Albert Home Sales

🏠 Sold Properties: A Seasonal Slowdown

In December 2025, 54 residential properties sold, a 14.29% decrease from December 2024. This decline aligns closely with historical trends. December typically sees fewer listings, fewer showings, and fewer transactions as buyers and sellers shift their focus to the holidays.

Importantly, year-to-date sales were only down 1.14%, meaning that overall activity across 2025 remained remarkably consistent with last year. This suggests that demand didn’t disappear — it simply shifted earlier in the year.

Average Sale Price of Homes

💰 Average Sale Price: Strong Year-End Growth

One of the most impressive figures in the December report is the average sale price of $522,000, which represents a 10.29% increase compared to December 2024.

This substantial increase reflects:

Strong buyer confidence throughout the year
Continued demand for detached homes and family-oriented neighbourhoods
St. Albert’s reputation as a premium suburban market

On a year-to-date basis, the average sale price also finished at $522,000, up 4.97% from 2024 — a clear sign that homeowners in St. Albert continued to build equity despite shifting market conditions.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: A Balanced Market

The average ask-to-sell ratio in December was 0.979, meaning homes sold for approximately 97.9% of asking price. This slight softening is expected during slower months.

For the full year, the ask-to-sell ratio finished at 1.000, up from 0.997 in 2024. This tells us that most homes sold very close to list price across 2025, reinforcing market stability and fair pricing.

Days on MLS®

⏱️ Days on Market: Slower Month, Faster Year

Homes spent an average of 67 days on market in December, a slight 1.52% increase from last year. This increase is typical for December and reflects reduced buyer urgency during the holiday season.

The more meaningful statistic is the year-to-date average of 42 days, compared to 50 days in 2024 — a 16% improvement. This confirms that, throughout most of 2025, homes in St. Albert sold more quickly than the year prior.

🧠 What December’s Market Means for Buyers

December is often one of the best times of year to buy, and 2025 was no exception.

Buyer advantages include:

Fewer competing buyers
More negotiating leverage
Motivated sellers looking to close before year-end
Opportunity to lock in pricing ahead of potential spring competition

With year-to-date prices still up nearly 5%, buying in December allows purchasers to enter a strong long-term market while benefiting from short-term seasonal softness.

📞 If you’re considering a purchase early in 2026, December data can help shape a smart strategy.
Call or text (780) 717-5267 to discuss your options.

🏡 What December’s Market Means for Sellers

While December is quieter, it can still be an effective time to sell — especially for well-prepared homes.

Seller considerations:

Less listing competition than spring
Serious buyers who are pre-approved and motivated
Ability to test pricing before the new year
Option to relist or re-launch in early spring if needed

The strong year-to-date price growth means many sellers are sitting on significant equity, even if they choose to wait until 2026 to list.

🌟 Why St. Albert Continues to Perform Well

Throughout 2025, St. Albert stood out due to:

Excellent schools and recreation facilities
Safe, family-oriented neighbourhoods
Proximity to Edmonton employment centres
Consistent price appreciation
Strong resale demand

Communities such as Jensen Lakes, Erin Ridge, North Ridge, Oakmont, and The Gardens continued to attract buyers seeking quality homes and long-term value.

🔮 Looking Ahead to 2026

As we move into the new year, several trends are worth watching:

Inventory is expected to tighten in early winter
Buyer activity typically rebounds in February and March
Pricing is likely to remain stable with moderate upward pressure
Well-priced homes will continue to sell efficiently

Both buyers and sellers who plan ahead in January will be well-positioned for the spring market.

🧾 Final Thoughts: A Strong Finish to 2025

December 2025 confirms what we’ve seen all year:
St. Albert is a steady, resilient real estate market built on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term volatility.

While monthly activity slowed, prices finished the year higher, inventory improved, and homes sold faster overall than in 2024. This combination creates confidence for both buyers and sellers heading into 2026.

Edmonton New Single Family Home Listings

🆕 Increase in New Listings Eases Pressure

December brought 471 new listings to the market, up 12.94% from the same time in 2024. This continued growth in listings is part of a broader 2025 trend, with new listings up 13.26% year-to-date.

For buyers, this means more choices and reduced urgency, especially compared to tight-inventory periods of past years. For sellers, it means more competition and a greater need for strategic pricing and staging.

Average Asking Price

💰 Asking Prices Rise with Market Confidence

The average list price for detached homes in December reached $594,801, a 2.19% increase over 2024. Sellers appear increasingly confident in market conditions, as the 2025 YTD average list price rose to $613,678, up 4.19% from the previous year.

This continued upward momentum signals strong perceived value among homeowners and real estate professionals alike.

🏘️ Detached Sales Dip in November

🏘️ Detached Home Sales Surge in December

Sales activity for detached homes in Edmonton rose sharply in December, with 505 homes sold, a 19.67% year-over-year increase. This jump in sales—despite being in the holiday season—highlights strong buyer demand and suggests a continued interest in homeownership over the winter months.

The rise in transactions is especially notable given the seasonal downturn that typically characterizes December, further proving the underlying strength of Edmonton’s housing market.

Average Single Family Home Sale Price

🏷️ Final Sale Prices Reflect Market Strength

December’s average sale price came in at $589,351, showing a 2.71% year-over-year increase. Notably, the median price jumped 5.91%, reflecting strength in the middle-tier price point and reinforcing that the appreciation is broad-based—not driven solely by luxury listings.

Year-to-date, the average detached home sold for $607,379, up 4.49% from 2024. Buyers should prepare for competitive offers in desirable neighbourhoods, especially those offering updated features or close proximity to schools and amenities.

💯 Sales-to-List Price Ratio Approaches 99%

Sellers in Edmonton are receiving close to their asking prices, with December seeing a 98.88% sales-to-list ratio. This is up slightly from 98.56% last year, showcasing improved pricing strategies and strong negotiation power.

The 2025 year-to-date ratio sits at 99.03%, further underscoring seller strength across the market and reinforcing that overpriced listings are being corrected quickly by motivated sellers.

Days on MLS®

⏳ Faster Sales Despite Holiday Season

Homes sold in 50 days on average in December 2025, slightly faster than the 52-day average in 2024. This trend demonstrates that even during traditionally slower months, serious buyers remain active, and well-presented homes can still sell quickly.

The year-to-date average Days on Market was just 43, down from 45 in 2024, pointing to an increasingly efficient marketplace.

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

Buyers should be encouraged by the increase in inventory and consistent pricing, but must remain strategic. The continued rise in prices and sales-to-list ratios mean that lowball offers are rarely successful, and desirable homes often move fast.

Key Tips for Buyers:

Get pre-approved before starting your search
Work with a REALTOR® who knows the Edmonton single-family market
Be ready to act quickly on homes that fit your needs

📢 What This Means for Sellers

If you’re considering listing your detached home in Edmonton, now is an opportune time. Buyer demand remains strong, especially in established neighbourhoods, new construction zones, and properties with modern upgrades.

Key Tips for Sellers:

Price your home competitively based on current stats
Stage your home and invest in curb appeal
Take advantage of low market days on the competition to stand out

🔮 Looking Ahead: 2026 Market Outlook

Heading into 2026, all signs suggest that Edmonton’s single-family home market will remain balanced and active, with continued growth in both prices and listings. With strong year-over-year sales, improving inventory, and solid price appreciation, detached homes will continue to be a top-performing segment of the real estate market.

Watch for possible rate adjustments, new inventory in developing neighbourhoods, and shifts in buyer preferences—especially in multigenerational layouts, energy efficiency, and work-from-home spaces.

Keswick – family-friendly community with new builds

Parkland County Acreage Listings

🆕 New Listings Drop by Nearly Half

There were only 11 new acreage listings in December 2025—down from 20 the previous year. That’s a 45% drop, indicating that many sellers are holding off until the spring.

This low inventory is favourable for sellers who do list in the winter. With fewer properties on the market, your home has a better chance of standing out—especially if it’s move-in ready or includes highly sought-after features like shops, barns, or updated kitchens.

Average List Price

💰 Average Asking Price Rises to Over $960K

The average asking price for Parkland County acreages reached $961,371 in December, up 8.6% from December 2024. This jump suggests that sellers are confident in the value of their land and homes, especially in areas closer to commuting routes and popular subdivisions like Spring Lake Ranch, Blueberry, and Glory Hills.

It’s also reflective of increased demand for larger, upgraded acreages and properties with outbuildings or income potential.

Parkland County Acreage Sales

🏡 Acreage Sales Decline Slightly

December saw 14 acreage properties sell in Parkland County, a decrease of 17.6% compared to the 17 properties sold in December 2024. This slowdown is typical for the winter season, but it still reflects relatively strong interest in rural homes given the time of year.

What’s important is that buyers are still active despite the chillier months. Those who list strategically during this slower period often encounter more serious buyers and less competition.

Parkland County Average Sale Price

💸 Sale Prices See Modest Growth

The average sale price in December 2025 rose to $801,321, a 1.4% increase from last year. While more modest than the growth in asking price, this still represents stability and growing buyer confidence.

Despite a small dip in sales activity, values are holding strong—especially for well-maintained homes with thoughtful upgrades or proximity to Stony Plain and Spruce Grove.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Dips, But Remains Healthy

The ask-to-sell ratio was 95.7%, slightly lower than December 2024’s 96.7%. This means sellers, on average, received just under 96% of their asking price.

While this is a minor dip, it reinforces the importance of pricing correctly from the start. Overpricing can still lead to extended time on market or larger price reductions later.

Average Days on MLS®

⏳ Days on Market Drop Slightly

Homes took an average of 96 days to sell, compared to 104 days in December 2024. That’s an improvement of nearly 8%, suggesting that serious buyers are acting faster, and well-priced listings are still moving even during slower months.

For sellers, this shows that marketing your property with professional photos, drone video, and targeted advertising can still yield good results in the off-season.

📊 Year-to-Date Recap (2025 vs. 2024)

Metric	2025 YTD	2024 YTD	% Change
Total Sales	325	415	↓ 21.7%
New Listings	512	669	↓ 23.5%
Average Ask Price	$974,772	$945,017	↑ 3.1%
Average Sale Price	$817,964	$805,982	↑ 1.5%
Average DOM	86 days	80 days	↑ 7.5%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio	96.0%	96.7%	↓ 0.7%

Despite fewer transactions and listings in 2025, prices remained strong—showing that buyer demand is still present, especially for move-in-ready and well-marketed homes.

🛠️ What This Means for Sellers

If you’re planning to sell your acreage in 2026, now is the time to start preparing. With inventory expected to rise in the spring, you’ll want to make sure your property is photo-ready and properly staged.

Tips for Sellers:

Highlight unique features like workshops, barns, or RV storage
Ensure your septic system and well documentation are ready
Work with a REALTOR® who understands rural regulations and zoning

And remember: winter listings can still sell! Motivated buyers are always looking, especially for vacant possession and immediate availability.

🔍 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, the December slowdown may work in your favour. With fewer bidding wars and more negotiating power, it’s a great time to find value—especially in properties that have been sitting on the market since fall.

Tips for Buyers:

Get pre-approved before viewing rural homes (mortgage timelines can be longer)
Understand the differences in zoning, water systems, and utility access
Ask your agent about seasonal road access or snow clearing for private drives
