Spring 2026 Market Update | Robertson Real Estate Group
If you've been sitting on the fence about selling, spring 2026 is giving you a clear signal: the market is moving, buyers are active, and well-prepared sellers are doing well. But it's also a market that rewards strategy over presumption. This is where the Robertson Real Estate Group comes in.
What the Numbers Are Telling Us
In St. Albert, homes are currently selling for over asking price and days on market are trending down as we move deeper into spring. This is a strong sign that motivated buyers are out there. The average asking price sits around $563,000, up nearly 4% year-over-year, reflecting continued confidence in the community.
In Edmonton, the average sale price for a single-family detached home reached $580,000 in March, rebounding $40,000 from January's winter low. Median days on market dropped to 25 in March. This is a significant improvement from January's peak of 52 days, and confirming the spring market is well underway.
The Honest Context
Residential sales in Greater Edmonton were down year-over-year in March, even as activity increased sharply from February. New listings and total inventory both rose, giving buyers more options and sellers more competition. While some may see this as a deterrent, we see it as an opportunity to provide our buying clients with more options and sellers with strategic positioning and marketing to make their homes stand out.
2026 is being described as a stabilization story rather than a decline, with prices still expected to grow, interest rates steadying, and the market moving toward a healthier balance between buyers and sellers.
What This Means If You're Thinking of Selling
The sellers achieving the strongest results right now are the ones who come to market priced correctly, presented beautifully, and backed by a plan. Homes that are well-prepared and priced strategically are selling faster, especially as buyer activity ramps up through April, May, and June, creating a real window of opportunity for sellers who are ready.
Spring is that window. The question becomes, are you ready to take advantage of it?
