If you want to understand whether a high-end neighbourhood like Kingswood is a good place to buy, you need to look at the journey — not just the destination. The year-by-year price story tells you whether the appreciation is real and steady, or just a couple of unusual sales bouncing the number around.
One thing to keep in mind up front: Kingswood is a thin, high-end market. Only a couple of dozen detached homes trade here in a typical year, so any single year's median can move on the strength of a few sales. I'll show you the detached numbers below — that's the headline figure for a neighbourhood of larger, executive homes — but read them as directional, not precise.
The 5-Year Detached Price Journey
Detached median sold price, by year (samples in brackets — nearly all are small):
| Year | Detached Median | Year-Over-Year | Sales (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | ~$686,000 | — | 28 |
| 2022 | ~$651,000 | -5.1% | small |
| 2023 | ~$695,000 | +6.8% | small |
| 2024 | ~$717,000 | +3.2% | small |
| 2025 | ~$792,000 | +10.5% | 28 |
| 2026 (YTD) | ~$796,000 | — | 3 (tiny) |
Current detached median (last 12 months): about $782,000 (n=23 — small, so read it as directional). Long-term detached median: about $635,000 (labelled long-term, blended across the full record).
A few honest caveats before we read into any of it:
- The 2026-YTD figure comes from just three sales. That is not a trend — it's three houses. Don't hang a decision on it.
- Every yearly bucket here is small. A couple of ravine-back estates selling in a given year can pull the median up; a couple of older two-storeys can pull it down.
2021–2024: Steady, With Wobble
Kingswood's detached median sat in the high-$600Ks to low-$700Ks through this stretch — up some years, down others. That year-to-year wobble is exactly what you'd expect in a thin, high-end segment. It's not a signal; it's small-sample noise around a slowly rising line.
2025: The Strong Year
2025 came in around a $792K detached median (n=28) — up roughly 10.5% over 2024. That's a genuinely strong year, and it's the largest, most reliable sample in the table. Still, "one strong year" isn't the same as a permanent step-change. I read it as Kingswood confirming its place at the top of St. Albert's established communities, not as a new floor.
2026 So Far: Too Early to Say
The handful of 2026 sales have come in around the 2025 level — but with only three of them, that tells us almost nothing yet. I'd wait for a real sample before drawing any conclusion about direction.
What the Trend Means for Buyers
If you're shopping Kingswood now, here's what the pattern tells you:
- You have time. With only a couple of dozen detached sales a year and a median days-on-market around 40, buyers here aren't rushed. That's normal for a thin, high-end segment — fewer people shop at this price, so homes sit a little longer.
- Comparables are scarce, so lean on them carefully. In a low-volume neighbourhood, one recent sale can swing your sense of "market value." I always look at a handful of sales, adjust for condition and lot, and treat any single number as one data point — not gospel.
- The long-term direction is up, gently. From the low-$600Ks long-term to a high-$700Ks recent detached median, the line has drifted upward. But it's a slow, wobbly climb, not a rocket.
What the Trend Means for Sellers
If you're selling in Kingswood, the data says price to market — not to memory.
Because Kingswood trades in small numbers, there's a real temptation to price off the one big sale you heard about down the street. Resist it. That sale might have been a ravine-back estate on a 100-foot lot — not a comp for a standard two-storey. Price to a proper set of comparables, adjusted for condition and lot, and you'll sell inside the roughly 40-day median. Price to memory or to the outlier, and you'll sit while the market quietly disagrees with you.
The Long-Term Picture
Over the full record, Kingswood's detached median sits around $635,000 (long-term, blended), while the last twelve months run closer to $782,000 for detached homes. The gap tells you the direction — up — but the small yearly samples tell you to hold that loosely.
If you're buying Kingswood as a forever home, the year-to-year median matters less than the lifestyle value. You're buying mature trees, established neighbours, larger lots, and a community that doesn't change every five years when a new developer builds the next phase.
If you're buying as an investment, Kingswood works best as a long-term hold. The rental market for higher-end detached homes in St. Albert is thin but stable — executives on temporary assignment, medical professionals on rotation, families relocating who want to "try before they buy." Just know that at these prices the numbers don't cash-flow; it's an equity-and-lifestyle play, not a yield play.
My Take
Kingswood's price story isn't about explosive growth. It's about quality that holds its value, in a market thin enough that the yearly number bounces around.
After 25 years selling in St. Albert, I've learned not to over-read a single year in a neighbourhood this size. What I'm confident about: the detached median has drifted upward over the long run, 2025 was a strong year, and the homes here — larger lots, mature trees, ravine backing — keep drawing the buyers who can afford them. What I won't do is dress up three 2026 sales as a trend.
If you'd like, I'll pull the actual recent Kingswood detached comparables for whatever you're considering — the real sales, not a headline median — so you can see where a specific home sits. No pressure, just the numbers. Just call John — 780-937-7534.
Based on John's St. Albert MLS records — over 30,800 sales, 2010 through April 2026. Kingswood is a thin, high-end segment, so yearly figures come from small samples and are best read as directional.
