🏡 Market Overview: Stability Returns to the Spring Market

May 2026 signals a shift toward market balance in Stony Plain. Sales have rebounded compared to earlier months, prices are climbing steadily, and buyers are active — but not rushed.

Unlike the hyper-competitive conditions of past years, today’s market reflects:

  • More thoughtful buyer decision-making
  • More strategic seller pricing
  • A steady but controlled pace of activity

This is what a healthy real estate market looks like.

🏗️ New Construction Market Trends – May 2026

New construction activity in Stony Plain continued to gain momentum in May 2026, with 8 homes sold, doubling the 4 sales recorded in May 2025. This increase highlights growing buyer demand for new builds as we move deeper into the spring market.

The average sale price in May 2026 was $480,073, slightly down from $518,124 in May 2025. While this represents a shift toward more mid-range product this year, overall pricing remains strong and consistent with broader market trends. The median sale price came in at $427,222, compared to $512,499 last year, further reinforcing that more attainable new construction options are entering the market.

Prices ranged from $396,375 to $720,000 in 2026, compared to a narrower and slightly higher range of $390,000 to $657,500 in 2025. This expanded range indicates increased diversity in product — from entry-level builds to larger, move-up homes.

In terms of market pace, homes are taking longer to sell, with an average of 75 days on market, compared to just 51 days last year. However, the median days on market increased more significantly to 86 days, suggesting that while some homes are moving quickly, others are taking longer to absorb as inventory grows.

Total sales volume reached $3,840,591 in May 2026, a significant increase from $2,072,498 in May 2025, reflecting both higher transaction counts and continued strength in new construction demand.

👉 Key takeaway:
New construction in Stony Plain is shifting toward higher volume and broader price accessibility, with more options for buyers and continued strong performance overall. While homes are taking longer to sell, demand remains solid — and this segment continues to be a major driver of market growth in 2026.

Leduc Real Estate Market Update: May 2026

The Leduc real estate market remained active throughout May 2026, with strong inventory growth, stable pricing, and sales activity that continues to keep pace with last year’s market. While buyers are benefiting from significantly more choice than they had in 2025, sellers are still achieving excellent results when their homes are priced and marketed effectively.

One of the biggest stories this month is the continued increase in inventory. New listings have surged more than 33% year-to-date, creating one of the most balanced markets Leduc has experienced in recent years. At the same time, average sale prices remain remarkably stable, showing that increased supply has not translated into falling home values.

Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or investing, here's what the latest statistics tell us about the Leduc housing market.

📊 Key Leduc Real Estate Statistics | May 2026

  • Sold Properties: 89
  • Average Sale Price: $469,000
  • Average Asking Price: $498,000
  • New Listings: 184
  • Days on Market: 41 days
  • Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 1.002

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – May 2026 vs May 2025

The new construction segment of the Leduc real estate market continues to be a major contributor to overall housing activity, with builders seeing a significant increase in sales volume during May 2026.

A total of 19 new construction homes sold in May 2026, compared to 12 sales in May 2025, representing a 58.3% increase in builder sales activity year-over-year. This growth demonstrates that buyer demand for newer homes remains strong, particularly in Leduc's growing communities such as Black Stone, Woodbend, Meadowview, and Southfork.

While sales activity increased substantially, average prices shifted slightly lower as builders introduced more attainable housing options to the market. The average sold price for a new construction home in May 2026 was $517,846, compared to $614,535 in May 2025, representing a 15.7% decrease year-over-year. Similarly, the median sold price declined from $607,500 to $509,900, indicating that a larger share of buyers were purchasing entry-level and move-up homes rather than higher-end custom builds.

One of the most encouraging statistics is the improvement in selling timelines. New construction homes sold in an average of 45 days, compared to 54 days in May 2025, representing a 16.7% improvement in market absorption. The median days on market dropped even more dramatically from 51 days to just 34 days, showing that well-priced new homes are moving quickly despite increased inventory levels across the broader market.

Builders also generated significantly more sales volume overall. Total new construction sales increased from $7.37 million in May 2025 to $9.84 million in May 2026, representing a remarkable 33.4% increase in total dollar volume sold.

Leduc New  MLS® Listings

🆕 Inventory Continues to Expand

Inventory remains the dominant story in the 2026 market.

Leduc saw 184 new listings in May, representing a substantial 33.33% increase compared to May 2025.

Year-to-date, there have been 657 new listings, compared to 493 during the same period last year, representing a 33.27% increase.

This increase is creating:

  • More options for buyers
  • More competition for sellers
  • A healthier and more balanced marketplace

For buyers, this means less pressure and more opportunities to find the right home. For sellers, it means strategic pricing and professional marketing have become more important than ever.

Average List Price

📌 Average Asking Price

The average list price in May 2026 climbed to $498,000, representing a 2.77% increase over May 2025.

This increase demonstrates continued seller confidence and reflects the long-term strength of the Leduc market. Sellers remain optimistic about their home values, even as inventory expands.

On a year-to-date basis, the average asking price now sits at $489,000, up 0.94% from 2025.

While price growth has moderated compared to the rapid appreciation experienced in previous years, values continue to trend upward overall.

Leduc Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity Remains Strong

A total of 89 homes sold in Leduc during May 2026, representing a 9.18% decrease compared to May 2025.

While monthly sales were slightly lower than last year, the broader picture remains encouraging. Year-to-date, 352 homes have sold in Leduc, compared to 351 during the same period in 2025, representing a modest 0.28% increase.

This tells us that overall buyer demand remains healthy despite increased inventory and a more balanced market environment. Buyers are still purchasing homes, but they are taking more time to evaluate their options before making offers.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price Continues to Hold

One of the strongest indicators of market stability is pricing.

The average sale price in May 2026 reached $469,000, representing a slight 0.19% increase compared to May 2025.

While the increase may be modest, it reinforces an important trend: home values in Leduc are holding steady despite significantly higher inventory levels.

Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $452,000, compared to $455,000 during the same period last year, representing a minimal 0.60% decrease.

Considering the substantial increase in listings, this level of price stability is a positive sign for homeowners and investors alike.

📈 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Breaks Above 100%

One of the most interesting statistics this month is the average ask-to-sell ratio of 1.002.

This means that, on average, homes sold for 100.2% of their asking price during May.

This is a strong indication that desirable homes are still attracting competitive offers and, in some cases, selling above list price.

While the year-to-date ask-to-sell ratio remains at 0.990, May's performance demonstrates that buyers are still willing to compete for well-priced properties.

 

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market

Homes in Leduc sold in an average of 41 days during May, which is longer than the same period last year. The average days on market increased 32.26% year-over-year.

Year-to-date, homes are taking an average of 57 days to sell, compared to 45 days during the same period in 2025.

This doesn't necessarily indicate weakening demand. Rather, it reflects the increased inventory levels and the fact that buyers have more opportunities to compare properties before making decisions.

Homes that are priced correctly and presented well continue to sell relatively quickly.

Leduc County -Acreage Listings

New Listings Bring More Opportunity for Buyers

This increase in inventory is helping create a more balanced market and giving buyers:

  • More choices
  • Better negotiating opportunities
  • More time to compare properties

The acreage market around Edmonton can often become competitive in spring, but the increase in listings is helping reduce some of the pressure buyers experienced over the past few years.

Many buyers relocating from Edmonton and surrounding communities are looking for properties that offer more space while still maintaining convenient access to the city.

This shows that despite more inventory entering the market, acreage values remain resilient and continue trending upward overall.

Ask-to-Sell Ratio Remains Healthy

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April was 96.8%, meaning sellers are still achieving very close to their asking price.

This demonstrates:

  • Buyers are still paying strong values for desirable acreages
  • Overpricing is less effective in the current market
  • Accurate pricing strategies are critical

Well-maintained properties with strong marketing continue to stand out and attract serious buyers.

Leduc County Acreage Average Days on Market

  • Compared to 88 days in April 2025
  • A decrease of 25%

This indicates that:

Rural Strathcona County Real Estate Market Update – April 2026

Spring has officially arrived in the Rural Strathcona County acreage market, and April 2026 delivered a strong boost in activity, pricing, and buyer competition. While inventory remains lower than last year, buyers are clearly stepping back into the market, pushing prices upward and creating faster-moving conditions for desirable acreage properties.

For homeowners thinking about selling an acreage in Strathcona County—or buyers hoping to secure a rural property before summer competition intensifies—April’s numbers paint a very important picture.

Let’s break down exactly what happened in the market this month and what it means moving forward.

📊 April 2026 Market Snapshot

According to the latest REALTORS® Association of Edmonton statistics for Rural Strathcona County acreages:

  • Sold Properties: 36 (+12.50%)
  • Average Sale Price: $980,000 (+15.24%)
  • Average Asking Price: $1.06M (-0.44%)
  • New Listings: 39 (-18.75%)
  • Days on Market: 43 days (-4.44%)
  • Ask-to-Sell Ratio: 1.013 (+2.90%)

The most important takeaway?

👉 Properties are now selling OVER asking price on average.

That’s a major indicator of a competitive spring market.

Strathcona County -Acreage Listings

📥 New Listings: Inventory Remains Tight

Only 39 new listings came onto the market in April, down 18.75% year-over-year.

Year-to-date:

  • 115 listings in 2026
  • Compared to 143 in 2025
  • Down nearly 20% overall

This is one of the biggest stories in the market right now.

👉 There simply are not enough acreages hitting the market.

For buyers:

  • Competition remains strong
  • Good properties move quickly
  • Multiple offers become more likely

For sellers:

  • Less competition means stronger positioning
  • Well-prepared homes stand out immediately

This lack of inventory is a major reason why prices continue climbing.

Strathcona County - Average Acreage List Price

💵 Asking Prices: Stabilizing While Buyers Compete

April’s average asking price was $1.06M, down slightly by 0.44% from April 2025.

At first glance, this may seem like weakness—but it’s actually a healthy sign.

Why?

Because:

  • Sellers are pricing more realistically
  • Buyers are responding quickly
  • Homes are selling efficiently

Meanwhile, the year-to-date average asking price is still up 6.52%, sitting at $1.08M compared to $1.01M last year.

This indicates that:

  • Seller confidence remains strong overall
  • The market is becoming more balanced
  • Correct pricing strategy matters more than ever

Strathcona County -Acreage Sales

🏡 Sales Activity: Buyers Return to the Market

April saw 36 acreage sales, representing a 12.50% increase over April 2025.

After a slower start to 2026, this is the clearest sign yet that spring momentum has arrived.

There has been a steady climb in monthly sold properties since January:

  • January: 5 sales
  • February: 8 sales
  • March: 21 sales
  • April: 36 sales

This upward trend confirms that:

  • Buyers are becoming more active
  • Confidence is improving
  • Spring demand is accelerating

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price: Strong Price Growth Continues

The average sale price in April reached $980,000, a 15.24% increase year-over-year.

That’s a huge jump for a single month and reinforces a trend we’ve been watching all year:

👉 Acreage values in Strathcona County continue to rise.

Even more impressive:

  • YTD average sale price = $982,000
  • Up 17.08% from 2025

Despite lower overall sales volume this year, pricing remains extremely strong.

This suggests:

  • Buyers are prioritizing high-quality properties
  • Inventory shortages are supporting prices
  • Acreage demand near Edmonton remains healthy

The graph on page 1 also illustrates how average sale prices have steadily trended upward over the past 12 months, despite occasional fluctuations.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio: Sellers Winning Negotiations

April’s ask-to-sell ratio reached 1.013, meaning properties sold for 101.3% of asking price on average.

This is a huge milestone.

It tells us:

  • Multiple offer situations are occurring
  • Buyers are bidding above asking
  • Seller leverage is increasing significantly

Year-to-date:

  • Ask-to-sell ratio = 0.999

Beaumont Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

The Beaumont real estate market continued to show resilience through April 2026 as spring market activity gained momentum. Sales increased year-over-year, inventory continued to rise, and home prices remained stable despite buyers taking significantly longer to make purchasing decisions.

This month’s market data highlights an important shift happening across many Edmonton-area communities: while demand remains healthy, buyers are becoming more selective and strategic. Inventory growth is creating more balanced conditions, giving purchasers additional options while encouraging sellers to price competitively.

If you’re considering buying, selling, or investing in Beaumont, here’s a complete breakdown of what happened in the local market during April 2026 and what it could mean moving forward.

All statistics are sourced directly from the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton report.

📊 Beaumont April 2026 Market Summary

Metric April 2026 April 2025 % Change
Sold Properties 51 48 ↑ 6.25%
New Listings 92 85 ↑ 8.24%
Average Asking Price $590,000 $584,000 ↑ 0.98%
Average Sale Price $561,000 $556,000 ↑ 0.88%

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – Beaumont (April 2026)

New construction activity in Beaumont saw a major surge in April 2026, highlighting continued demand for brand-new homes across the community. A total of 19 new construction homes sold, compared to just 5 during the same period in 2025 — representing a dramatic increase in builder activity and buyer interest in newly built properties.

Builders continued expanding inventory in popular communities such as Triomphe Estates, Forest Heights, and Dansereau Meadows, offering buyers a wider range of floorplans, quick possession opportunities, and upgraded finish packages.

The average list price for new construction homes in 2026 was $520,520, while the average sale price came in at $512,597. This is slightly lower than 2025 pricing, where the average sale price was $565,200. The shift in pricing suggests builders are introducing more affordable entry-level and mid-market inventory to meet changing buyer demand.

Price ranges varied significantly in 2026, with homes selling between $335,000 and $785,000, compared to a 2025 range of $480,000 to $653,000. This wider spread reflects increased product diversity in the Beaumont market, from more affordable duplex and laned-home options to larger estate-style properties.

Beaumont New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ New Listings Continue to Rise

Inventory growth remained one of the biggest themes in April.

A total of 92 new listings hit the market, up 8.24% from April 2025.

This brings the year-to-date total to 297 new listings, a 13.36% increase over last year.

Higher inventory levels create:

  • More options for buyers
  • More competition among sellers
  • Longer decision timelines

This increase in inventory is one reason homes are taking substantially longer to sell compared to last year.

Average Asking Price

Homeowners in Beaumont continued showing confidence in the local real estate market during April 2026, with the average asking price reaching $590,000, a modest 0.98% increase compared to April 2025. Year-to-date, the average asking price has climbed to $604,000, up 3.54% from last year. This steady growth in asking prices reflects Beaumont’s continued appeal among families, move-up buyers, and those looking for more space outside Edmonton. Despite higher inventory levels and longer days on market, sellers are still positioning their homes competitively, particularly in newer communities like Triomphe Estates, Forest Heights, and Dansereau Meadows. The stable growth in asking prices suggests long-term confidence in Beaumont property values heading into the busy spring and summer market.

Beaumont Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Increases in April

April brought a noticeable boost in sales activity, with 51 homes sold in Beaumont, compared to 48 during the same month last year — a 6.25% increase year-over-year.

This is an encouraging sign for the spring market.

The monthly sold properties chart included in the report clearly shows sales momentum increasing from January through April, with April recording the highest monthly sales total so far in 2026.

This increase suggests:

  • Buyers are re-entering the market as spring inventory improves
  • Confidence is stabilizing despite higher borrowing costs
  • Beaumont continues attracting families looking for affordability compared to Edmonton

While sales growth is positive, it’s important to note that year-to-date sales remain slightly behind last year’s pace.

📅 Year-to-Date Sales Slightly Behind 2025

Year-to-date, Beaumont has recorded 131 sold properties, compared to 134 during the same period in 2025 — a modest 2.24% decrease.

This tells us the market is stabilizing after a slower start to the year.

Although overall sales are slightly lower, the spring market appears to be improving month by month.

Average Sale Price

🏡 Average Sale Price in Beaumont

The Beaumont housing market also saw stable sold pricing in April, with the average sale price reaching $561,000, representing a 0.88% increase year-over-year. Year-to-date, homes in Beaumont have sold for an average of $543,000, up 1.55% compared to 2025. Even with inventory levels rising and buyers taking longer to make decisions, these numbers show that well-priced homes are still achieving strong sale values. The relatively small gap between asking and selling prices highlights that Beaumont remains a healthy and balanced market overall. Buyers are continuing to pay solid prices for desirable homes, especially properties featuring modern upgrades, larger lots, finished basements, and family-friendly layouts.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Softens Slightly

The average ask-to-sell ratio declined to 98.7%, down from approximately 99.5% last year.

This means homes are selling for roughly 1.3% below asking price on average.

While this is still considered a strong ratio, it reflects a market where:

  • Negotiation is becoming more common
  • Buyers are less willing to pay over asking
  • Sellers must price realistically from the start

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market Increase Dramatically

One of the most significant shifts in the April report is the increase in days on market.

Homes in Beaumont took an average of 75 days to sell, compared to just 24 days last April — an increase of 212.50%.

This is a major market shift.

Longer days on market typically indicate:

  • Buyers are taking more time to compare homes
  • Inventory levels are creating more competition
  • Pricing accuracy is becoming increasingly important

For sellers, this means preparation matters more than ever.

Homes that are staged professionally, marketed properly, and priced correctly are still selling — but buyers are no longer rushing into offers.

📊 Year-to-Date Market Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 131 134 ↓ 2.24%
New Listings 297 262 ↑ 13.36%
Average Asking Price $604,000 $584,000 ↑ 3.54%

Days on Market 82 42 ↑ 95.24%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 98.3% 99.6% ↓ 1.28%

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, Beaumont’s market currently offers a much healthier environment than the aggressive seller’s markets seen over the past few years.

Today’s buyers benefit from:
✔ More inventory
✔ More time to make decisions
✔ Increased negotiation opportunities
✔ Stable pricing

This is especially beneficial for:

  • First-time buyers
  • Families upgrading homes
  • Buyers relocating from Edmonton

💼 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, April’s numbers reinforce the importance of preparation and strategy.

To stand out in today’s market:

  • Price competitively
  • Invest in strong photography and marketing
  • Ensure the home shows well
  • Be flexible during negotiations

The market still supports strong sale prices — but only for homes that align with buyer expectations.

🔮 Beaumont Market Outlook – Spring & Summer 2026

Looking ahead, Beaumont appears positioned for a balanced spring and summer market.

If current trends continue, we may see:
📈 Steady sales growth
🏘️ Continued inventory increases
💰 Stable home prices
⏳ Longer selling timelines

The market is no longer moving at the extreme pace seen during previous years, but it remains healthy overall.

Well-priced homes should continue selling successfully throughout the spring and summer months.

Sherwood Park Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

Sales and Prices Continue Climbing as Spring Market Gains Strength

The Sherwood Park real estate market continued to gain momentum throughout April 2026, with rising sales activity, increasing home prices, and a significant jump in new listings. As the spring market continues to unfold, Sherwood Park remains one of the most desirable communities in the Edmonton region thanks to its excellent schools, family-friendly atmosphere, mature neighbourhoods, and convenient access to Edmonton.

April’s market data shows a healthy balance between buyer demand and growing inventory levels, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers as we head deeper into the busy spring season.

In this month’s update, we’ll break down the latest Sherwood Park housing statistics, explore what the numbers mean for the market, and provide insight into what buyers and sellers can expect moving forward.

📊 Key Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – April 2026

Metric April 2026 April 2025 % Change
Sold Properties 156 146 +6.85%
Average Asking Price $524,000 $502,000 +4.48%
New Listings 199 155 +28.39%
Days on Market 29 Days 29 Days 0.00%
Average Sale Price $522,000 $485,000 +7.71%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 1.007 1.015 -0.76%

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – Sherwood Park April 2026

Sherwood Park’s new construction market remained active in April 2026, with a total of 18 newly built homes sold, compared to 12 sales during the same period in 2025. This represents a 50% increase in new construction sales activity year-over-year, highlighting continued buyer demand for modern homes, energy-efficient features, and quick possession opportunities.

The average sale price for new construction homes in April 2026 was $487,201, slightly lower than the $565,857 average recorded in April 2025. While prices softened year-over-year, this appears to reflect a larger concentration of entry-level and mid-range product entering the market rather than weakness in demand. The median sale price came in at $473,400, compared to $476,739 last year, showing relatively stable pricing in the core market segment.

Builders continued to see strong absorption rates, with new homes averaging 53 days on market, improving significantly from the 66-day average in April 2025. This reduction in market time suggests buyers remain highly active in the new construction segment, particularly for competitively priced inventory.

Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

📦 Inventory Levels Surge Heading Into Spring

One of the largest shifts in April’s market was inventory growth.

Sherwood Park saw 199 new listings hit the market, representing a massive 28.39% increase compared to April 2025. This significant rise in inventory is helping create more balance in the market.

Year-to-date, there have been 596 new listings, up 10.99% from last year.

This increase provides buyers with:

  • More selection
  • Reduced urgency
  • More opportunity to compare properties

At the same time, sellers are facing more competition, meaning pricing and presentation have become increasingly important.

Average Asking Price

🏷️ Sellers Continue Pricing Aggressively

The average asking price in April was $524,000, which is 4.48% higher than April 2025. Year-to-date, asking prices have averaged $528,000, up 4.17% over last year.

This suggests sellers remain highly confident in market conditions and are continuing to price homes competitively.

However, the slight decrease in the ask-to-sell ratio indicates that buyers are still negotiating strategically, especially as more inventory becomes available.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity Continues to Improve

Sherwood Park recorded 156 sold properties in April 2026, representing a 6.85% increase compared to April 2025. This marks another strong month for the local housing market and reinforces the ongoing demand for homes in the community.

Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has recorded 429 home sales, a 1.66% increase over the same period last year. While the growth is modest, it shows the market remains stable despite affordability pressures and changing interest rate conditions.

The increase in sales activity throughout April is typical for the spring market, as buyers become more active and inventory levels improve.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price Climbs to $522,000

One of the biggest stories in Sherwood Park’s April market is the continued increase in property values.

The average sale price reached $522,000, representing a 7.71% increase year-over-year. This is a significant jump and highlights the ongoing strength of the market despite more inventory entering the market.

Year-to-date, the average sale price now sits at $519,000, up 3.74% compared to 2025.

The pricing trend shown in the monthly sales price chart on the report demonstrates relatively consistent upward movement over the past year, with only minor seasonal fluctuations. This reflects Sherwood Park’s reputation as a stable and appreciating suburban market.

For homeowners, these numbers continue to support long-term confidence in property values.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Slightly Softens

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April was 1.007, slightly lower than the 1.015 recorded in April 2025.

This means homes are still selling slightly above asking price on average, but not as aggressively as during the strongest seller-market conditions.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 1.002, indicating a market that remains very healthy but more balanced than last year.

For buyers, this can create opportunities to negotiate on condition terms or pricing—especially on homes that have been on the market longer.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Remain Stable

Homes in Sherwood Park took an average of 29 days to sell in April, unchanged from the same month last year.

While year-to-date days on market are slightly higher at 38 days, compared to 34 days in 2025, homes are still selling relatively quickly overall.

This stability suggests:

  • Buyer demand remains healthy
  • Properly priced homes continue moving efficiently
  • Increased listings are balancing absorption rates

For sellers, this means that homes priced accurately and marketed effectively are still achieving strong results.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 429 422 +1.66%
Average Asking Price $528,000 $507,000 +4.17%
New Listings 596 537 +10.99%
Days on Market 38 Days 34 Days +11.76%
Average Sale Price $519,000 $500,000 +3.74%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 1.002 1.015 -1.29%

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, Sherwood Park’s April market offers both opportunity and competition.

Positive signs for buyers include:

  • More inventory entering the market
  • Slightly softer negotiating conditions
  • More balanced competition levels

However:

  • Prices are still increasing
  • Well-priced homes are still selling quickly
  • Desirable neighbourhoods remain competitive

Buyers should still be pre-approved and prepared to act quickly when the right home becomes available.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers continue to benefit from:

  • Rising home prices
  • Healthy buyer demand
  • Strong sale-to-list ratios

However, increased inventory means:

  • Accurate pricing is essential
  • Presentation matters more than ever
  • Homes face more competition than earlier in the year

Professional marketing, photography, and strategic pricing are becoming increasingly important as the market balances.

📍 Popular Sherwood Park Neighbourhoods

Some of the most active and desirable areas continue to include:

  • Lakeland Ridge – Popular for families and schools
  • Emerald Hills – Newer homes with excellent amenities
  • Summerwood – Attractive for first-time buyers and commuters
  • Heritage Hills – Mature neighbourhood appeal and larger lots

These communities continue to attract strong buyer demand due to lifestyle and location advantages.

🔮 Sherwood Park Market Outlook – Spring & Summer 2026

April confirms that the spring market is fully underway.

Key trends to watch moving forward:

  • Continued inventory growth
  • Moderate but steady price appreciation
  • More balanced conditions between buyers and sellers
  • Increased activity as we head into summer

If inventory continues rising at a faster pace than sales, Sherwood Park may continue moving toward a more balanced market environment.

However, if demand remains strong and inventory tightens later in the summer, price growth could accelerate again.

📞 Thinking About Buying or Selling in Sherwood Park?

Understanding market timing and pricing strategy is essential in today’s changing market.

Whether you’re:

  • Buying your first home
  • Moving up
  • Downsizing
  • Investing
  • Selling this spring or summer

Having a strong strategy can make a major difference.

Rural Sturgeon County Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

The Rural Sturgeon County acreage market continued to show resilience throughout April 2026, with strong year-to-date sales growth, stable pricing, and improving market efficiency. While monthly activity softened slightly compared to April 2025, the broader trend across the first four months of the year points toward a healthy and active acreage market heading into the peak spring and summer season.

Located just north of Edmonton, Rural Sturgeon County remains one of Alberta’s most desirable acreage destinations, offering buyers a combination of luxury estate homes, hobby farms, private treed parcels, and country residential living with convenient access to the city.

Here’s a full breakdown of the April 2026 market statistics and what they mean for buyers and sellers.

🏷️ New Listings – Inventory Remains Tight

There were 35 new listings in April, representing a small 2.78% decrease from April 2025.

Year-to-Date New Listings

Year New Listings
2026 90
2025 103
Change -12.62%

This continues one of the biggest trends we’ve seen in Rural Sturgeon County throughout 2026: inventory remains lower than last year.

Why This Matters

Lower inventory levels create:

  • Less competition among sellers
  • More pressure on buyers
  • Greater importance on strategic pricing

As we move deeper into the spring market, inventory shortages could continue supporting acreage values.

Average List Price

💰 Average Asking Price – Sellers Remain Confident

The average asking price increased to $1.23 million, an 8.90% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-Date Asking Price

Year Average Asking Price
2026 $1.20M
2025 $1.16M
Change +4.05%

This indicates sellers remain highly confident in the value of acreage properties throughout Rural Sturgeon County.

Contributing Factors

The higher average list prices are likely being influenced by:

  • More luxury acreage inventory
  • Larger estate homes
  • Premium land parcels
  • Rising replacement and construction costs

Rural Sturgeon County Home Sales

📈 Sold Properties – Strong Year-to-Date Growth Continues

April 2026 saw 18 acreage properties sell, a slight 5.26% decrease compared to April 2025.

However, when looking at the broader market trend, sales activity remains significantly ahead of last year.

Year-to-Date Sales Comparison

Year Sold Properties
2026 45
2025 38
Change +18.42%

This tells us that buyer demand across Rural Sturgeon County has remained active throughout the first four months of the year, despite ongoing economic uncertainty and fluctuating borrowing costs.

What This Means

  • Buyers continue to prioritize acreage living and rural properties.
  • Inventory remains limited enough to support ongoing sales activity.
  • Well-priced homes are still attracting attention quickly.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price – Stable Despite Monthly Dip

The average sale price for April was $852,000, down 3.50% from April 2025.

Year-to-Date Sale Price

Year Average Sale Price
2026 $891K
2025 $905K

Although prices dipped slightly, the market remains remarkably stable overall.

Important Context

In acreage markets, average sale prices can fluctuate significantly due to:

  • Small sample sizes
  • Differences in property type
  • Luxury home sales skewing averages

The small year-to-date decline does not suggest a weakening market — rather, it reflects changing sales mix.

📊 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Strong Seller Position

The average ask-to-sell ratio climbed to 98.3%, showing sellers are receiving very close to their asking prices.

Year-to-Date Ask-to-Sell Ratio

  • 47 new listings came to market
  • ↓ 17.54% compared to April 2025

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD listings: 145
  • 2025 YTD listings: 192
  • Change: ↓ 24.48%

This significant drop in inventory is helping support rising prices and faster-moving listings.

If inventory remains limited through spring and summer, competition among buyers could continue intensifying.

Average List Price

📈 Sellers Continue Pricing Higher

The average asking price in April 2026 was $481,000, representing an 11.12% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-date asking prices have also continued climbing:

  • 2026 YTD asking price: $516,000
  • 2025 YTD asking price: $477,000
  • Change: ↑ 8.14%

Sellers clearly remain confident in the Lac Ste. Anne market heading into the peak spring and summer seasons.

Lac Ste Anne Home Sales

📉 Sales Activity Remains Below 2025 Levels

In April 2026, 25 properties sold in Lac Ste. Anne County, which represents a 16.67% decrease compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD sales: 75 properties
  • 2025 YTD sales: 89 properties
  • Change: ↓ 15.73%

Although sales activity is still trailing last year, this does not necessarily indicate a weak market. A major factor impacting activity is the continued shortage of inventory entering the market.

The spring market is still active — there are simply fewer properties available for buyers to purchase.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Prices Continue to Rise

One of the strongest indicators in April’s report is the continued increase in sale prices.

The average sale price in April 2026 climbed to $488,000, which is a 20.71% increase compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD average sale price: $497,000
  • 2025 YTD average sale price: $467,000
  • Change: ↑ 6.45%

This is a very positive sign for sellers and highlights continued buyer demand for acreages, country homes, and rural properties in the area.

Higher prices combined with lower inventory typically indicate a more competitive environment for buyers.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Improves Again

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April 2026 reached 97.9%, which is a 1.16% improvement compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD ask-to-sell ratio: 98.0%
  • 2025 YTD ask-to-sell ratio: 96.7%
  • Change: ↑ 1.32%

This means buyers are paying much closer to asking price than they were a year ago.

Combined with lower inventory and faster sales, this is another strong indicator of a tightening market.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Homes Are Selling Much Faster

One of the most encouraging statistics for sellers is the continued improvement in days on market.

The average days on market in April 2026 was just 48 days, which is a 20.00% decrease compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

  • 2026 YTD DOM: 95 days
  • 2025 YTD DOM: 129 days
  • Change: ↓ 26.36%

This shows that well-priced properties are moving considerably faster than last year.

For buyers, this means preparation and quick decision-making are becoming increasingly important.

📈 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 75 89 ↓ 15.73%
Average Asking Price $516,000 $477,000 ↑ 8.14%
Average Sale Price $497,000 $467,000 ↑ 6.45%
New Listings 145 192 ↓ 24.48%
Days on Market 95 129 ↓ 26.36%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 0.980 0.967 ↑ 1.32%

(Statistics sourced from the April 2026 Lac Ste. Anne Local Market Update .)

🔎 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers entering the Lac Ste. Anne acreage market:

  • Inventory remains limited
  • Homes are selling faster
  • Buyers are paying closer to asking price
  • Prices continue rising year-over-year

This means preparation is critical. Getting pre-approved and being ready to act quickly will be important throughout the spring and summer markets.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, current conditions remain very positive:

  • Sale prices are increasing
  • Inventory is low
  • Homes are selling faster
  • Buyers are negotiating less aggressively

If you’ve been considering listing your acreage or rural property, spring 2026 continues to provide favourable conditions.

🔮 Looking Ahead to Summer 2026

The next few months will likely depend heavily on inventory levels.

If listings remain limited while buyer demand continues increasing:

✅ Prices could continue rising
✅ Competition among buyers may intensify
✅ Well-priced properties could sell very quickly

The Lac Ste. Anne market is shaping up to be one of the stronger rural markets surrounding Edmonton in 2026.

Devon Real Estate Market Update:April 2026

The Devon real estate market continued to evolve in April 2026, showing a mix of rising home values, increasing inventory, and slower selling timelines. While the number of sales declined compared to the same time last year, pricing remained resilient, highlighting continued confidence in Devon’s housing market.

As more listings continue to enter the market, buyers are gaining additional options, while sellers are learning that strategic pricing and strong presentation are becoming increasingly important in a more balanced market environment.

Let’s break down the April numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers moving into the busy spring season.

📊 April 2026 Market Snapshot

Metric April 2026 % Change vs April 2025
Sold Properties 8 ↓ 20.00%
New Listings 11 ↓ 35.29%
Average Asking Price $469,000 ↓ 4.70%
Average Sale Price $426,000 ↑ 3.83%
Days on Market 93 days ↑ 481.25%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 0.981 ↓ 2.28%

🏗️ New Construction Market – Devon April 2026

New construction activity in Devon remained limited but continued to show strong pricing trends in April 2026. A total of 2 new homes sold during the month, compared to just 1 sale in April 2025, signalling slightly improved activity in the new build segment.

The average list price for new construction homes in April 2026 was $629,399, up from $599,000 in April 2025. Builders continued targeting higher price points, with homes ranging from $628,800 to $629,998. On the sold side, the average sale price reached $623,000, compared to $599,000 the previous year, reflecting continued buyer confidence in Devon’s new home market.

New construction homes took an average of 72 days to sell, significantly longer than the 17-day average recorded in April 2025. This increase suggests buyers are taking more time to evaluate higher-priced inventory and compare available options before making purchasing decisions.

Despite the longer selling timeline, the relatively small gap between list and sale price indicates that builders are still achieving strong values for their properties. With a total new construction sales volume exceeding $1.24 million, the new home segment continues to contribute meaningful value to Devon’s overall housing market — particularly for buyers seeking modern finishes, energy efficiency, and turnkey living.

Devon New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ Inventory Remains Higher Than Last Year

April saw 11 new listings hit the market, down 35.29% from April 2025. However, when we look at the broader yearly trend, Devon has still recorded 52 new listings so far in 2026, which is an 18.18% increase compared to last year.

This tells us that inventory levels remain noticeably higher than they were in early 2025, giving buyers more options and creating additional competition among sellers.

For buyers, this increase in available inventory is positive news, as it creates more opportunities to compare homes and negotiate favourable terms.

 

Average List Price

💲 Asking Prices Hold Strong

The average asking price in April came in at $469,000, a 4.70% decrease compared to April 2025. While this monthly decline may appear significant, the bigger picture still shows strong upward pricing trends.

Year-to-date, the average asking price in Devon sits at $496,000, which is an impressive 17.29% increase over 2025.

This indicates that seller confidence remains strong overall, even as some homeowners begin adjusting prices to align more closely with current buyer expectations and market conditions.

Devon Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Slows Slightly

Devon recorded 8 residential sales in April 2026, representing a 20% decrease compared to April 2025. Year-to-date, the market has seen 37 total sales, down 7.5% from the same period last year.

While fewer homes sold this month, the decline in sales volume does not necessarily point to a weak market. Instead, it reflects a market where buyers are taking more time to evaluate properties as inventory levels increase and pricing continues to rise.

The spring market remains active overall, but buyers are becoming more selective and strategic with their purchases.

Average Sale Price

💵 Sale Prices Continue to Rise

Despite softer sales volume and slightly lower asking prices this month, the average sale price in April increased to $426,000, up 3.83% year-over-year.

Even more importantly, the year-to-date average sale price now sits at $433,000, representing a 6.33% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

This shows that home values in Devon continue to appreciate overall, even as the market becomes more balanced.

Buyers are still willing to pay strong prices for desirable properties — especially homes that are updated, well-maintained, and priced appropriately.

⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows More Negotiation

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April was 0.981, meaning homes sold for approximately 98.1% of asking price.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.981 compared to 0.996 last year, suggesting buyers have gained slightly more negotiating power.

This does not indicate a weak market — rather, it reflects a healthier and more balanced environment where realistic pricing is critical.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Spike Significantly

One of the most eye-catching stats this month is the jump in days on market, which climbed to 85 days, a 507.14% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-date, homes are taking 63 days to sell, up 34.04% compared to last year.

This shift indicates:

  • Buyers are taking more time to make decisions
  • Increased inventory is creating more competition among listings
  • Pricing strategy is becoming more critical than ever

Homes are still selling — but not as quickly as they were in previous months.

📆 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

Metric 2026 YTD 2025 YTD % Change
Sold Properties 37 40 ↓ 7.50%
New Listings 52 44 ↑ 18.18%
Average Asking Price $496,000 $423,000 ↑ 17.29%
Average Sale Price $433,000 $407,000 ↑ 6.33%
Days on Market 70 39 ↑ 79.49%
Ask-to-Sell Ratio 0.981 0.996 ↓ 1.46%

🏡 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, April presents opportunity:

  • More inventory means more selection
  • Longer days on market create negotiation potential
  • Prices are still rising, but at a more moderate pace
  • Buyers have more time to evaluate properties compared to previous years

This is beginning to look like a more balanced spring market than what we experienced during peak seller conditions.

🌟 Why Devon Continues to Attract Buyers

Devon remains highly desirable because of its:

  • Small-town atmosphere
  • Proximity to Edmonton and Nisku
  • Access to parks, trails, and river valley amenities
  • More affordable pricing compared to many Edmonton neighbourhoods

Communities like Highwood, South Ravines, Devonshire Meadows, and Southview Ridge continue attracting families, professionals, and retirees looking for lifestyle and value.

🔮 Market Outlook for Spring & Summer 2026

Based on April’s numbers, we expect:

  • Continued inventory growth
  • More balanced buyer and seller conditions
  • Stable price appreciation
  • Longer selling timelines than previous years

If inventory continues to rise while sales remain moderate, Devon may continue shifting toward a balanced market — which can create opportunities for both buyers and sellers when approached strategically.
