September brought a mix of faster moving markets, rising prices and a few noticeable slowdowns across Central Alberta compared to 2025.
A few standout stats from the September 2026 residential single family market:
โข Red Deer remained relatively steady, with average home prices increasing slightly from $405,000 to $410,000, while median days on market rose from 23 to 25 and months of inventory increased from 2.47 to 2.93.
โข Blackfalds saw average home prices jump from $351,250 to $412,250
โข Lacombe picked up speed with sales rising from 14 to 17, months of inventory dropping from 4.86 to 3.47, and median days on market improving from 49 to 35
โข Penhold also moved quicker, with inventory falling from 6.00 to 2.33 months and median days on market dropping from 64 to 29

One of the biggest takeaways?
Our fall market is not moving the same way in every community. Some areas are picking up, some are slowing down, and local trends matter more than ever.
