September's numbers are in for St. Albert, and they tell a two-part story. The pace of the market eased noticeably — fewer sales, more days on market. But prices? They barely budged. Here's the full breakdown, verified from Realtors Association of Edmonton data.

September 2026 St. Albert Market at a Glance
- 109 homes sold (down from 135 in August)
- $531,427 average sale price (vs $541,322 in August — down 1.8%)
- $514,190 median sale price (vs $521,000 in August)
- 35 average days on market (vs 25 in August)
- 99.2% sale-to-list ratio — sellers still getting essentially full asking
- 67.9% of sales closed under $600K — nearly identical to August's 67.4%
What Changed Since August?
The headline change is activity, not value. Twenty-six fewer homes sold, and the average time to sell stretched by ten days. That's a meaningful cooling in pace — the kind of shift you feel at open houses and in offer timelines.
But the price side of the ledger barely moved. A 1.8% dip in the average and a 1.3% dip in the median are noise-level moves, not a trend reversal. And with sellers still achieving 99.2% of list price, there's no sign of discounting pressure.
Is St. Albert Still a Seller's Market?
By the numbers, yes — though a calmer one than August. A 99%+ sale-to-list ratio and a median holding above $514K don't describe a market where buyers have the upper hand. What has changed is urgency: with 35 days on market, buyers have a little more room to think, and sellers need realistic pricing from day one instead of relying on frenzy.
Single-Family vs Condos: September 2026
- Single-family: 77 sales, $624,241 average ($585,000 median)
- Condos: 32 sales, $308,094 average ($309,650 median)
Single-family held essentially flat against August ($627K average). Condos softened about 10% from August's $345K average — worth watching, but one month doesn't make a trend in a 32-sale sample.
"John Carle says:" — What This Means for St. Albert
"Fewer buyers are acting, but nobody's panicking on price. That's a market taking a breath, not turning. The stat I keep coming back to: 68% of sales still closed under $600K, almost identical to August. The core of this market — the part where most St. Albert families actually buy and sell — hasn't shifted at all."

What This Means for Buyers
You have slightly more breathing room than you did in August. More days on market means less pressure to decide on the spot — but don't mistake a breather for a bargain market. Well-priced homes are still selling at essentially full asking. If you're waiting for a meaningful price drop, September's data doesn't give you one.
What This Means for Sellers
Price it right from day one. The market absorbed a 10-day increase in selling time without blinking on price — which tells you buyers are still willing to pay fair value, but they're no longer chasing. Overpricing in this market means sitting, and sitting is what stretched the average to 35 days.
Key Takeaways
- 109 St. Albert homes sold in September 2026, down from 135 in August.
