Beaumont Market Update: Sales Slow, But the Story Is in the Middle

August's Beaumont numbers are in, and the headline is a sales decline: 43 single-family homes sold, down 15.7% from August 2025. Year-to-date sales have now slipped slightly below last year's pace for the first time in 2026. But sales volume is only part of the story, and the more useful finding is about which homes are trading.

August at a Glance

Sales: 43 homes sold, down 15.69% year-over-year. Year-to-date sits at 306 against 309 last year — down 0.97%, essentially flat but no longer ahead.

New listings: 79 in August, up 3.95%. Notably, that's a much slower increase than earlier in the year; year-to-date listings are still up 14.80% at 675 versus 588.

Average sale price: $543K, down 0.55% from last August. Year-to-date, $561K, up 0.80%.

Dansereau Meadows: Two Beaumonts in One Neighbourhood

Second post in my Beaumont Neighbourhood Spotlight series. Each month, or sometimes a day after the month ends,  I take you inside one of our communities — what it's like to live there, what homes actually cost, and what I'm seeing on the ground as a local REALTOR®. This month: Dansereau Meadows.

Two Beaumonts, One Neighbourhood

When a city grows as fast as Beaumont has, change comes quickly — and not everyone is going to like it.

Beaumont is evolving. It may no longer be the small French community that drew so many people here not that long ago. The roots are still there, in the street names, the schools, the architecture. But the low-density town many of us moved to is shifting toward something more urban.

Dansereau Meadows is where you…

Beaumont Market Update: What July's 7% Price Drop Does and Doesn't Tell You

Every month I pull the latest Beaumont numbers from the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton — and this month I also went through the individual July sales one by one, because the headline figure needed a closer look. Here's what July actually tells us, including the part that's genuinely encouraging and the part that isn't.

The Headline: Average Sale Price Fell 7.3%

The average Beaumont single-family sale price in July was $551K, down 7.33% from July 2025. If you own a home here, that number deserves an explanation rather than a shrug — so let's break down what's behind it.

Most of the Drop Is a Mix Shift

An average sale price measures the homes that happened to sell, not the value of homes generally. And what sold this July was noticeably…

Selling Your Beaumont Home in 2026? The Playbook Has Changed

If you sold a home in Beaumont in 2024 or early 2025, you remember how it went: homes routinely sold within four or five weeks, often within a percent or two of asking, and sellers held most of the cards.

That market is gone — at least for now.

As I covered in my latest market update, Beaumont homes averaged 71 days on market in the second quarter — nearly double the 37 days of a year earlier — and the year-to-date average sits at 77. Meanwhile, new listings are up 29% year-over-year: June alone saw 106 new listings hit the market, the most in at least six years.

Here's the good news: homes are still selling, and prices are still rising — the average sale price is up about 3% from last year. But how you sell matters more than it has in years.…

Living in Élan: An Honest Look at Beaumont's Award-Winning New Community

Welcome to the first post in my Beaumont Neighbourhood Spotlight series. Each month, I'll take you inside one of our communities — what it's like to live there, what homes actually cost, and what I'm seeing on the ground as a local REALTOR®. First up: Élan, in west Beaumont.

My Honest First Impression

When construction started in Élan, I drove through and thought, "wow, they are really building close together." And it's true — Élan uses zero lot lines, and the homes are tight. If you're picturing a big suburban yard between you and your neighbour, this isn't that.

But now that construction is well underway, you can see what the plan was all along: the different architectural styles coming together into actual streetscapes with character. You'll…

Beaumont Real Estate Market Update: Summer 2026

If you've been watching the Beaumont housing market, or thinking about buying or selling here, this update is for you. Every quarter I dig into the latest numbers from the Realtors Association of Edmonton to see what's actually happening on the ground — not just the headlines. Here's what June and the second quarter of 2026 tell us.

More Homes Are Hitting the Market

The biggest story this quarter is inventory. Beaumont saw 294 new single-family listings in Q2 2026, up 21.5% from the same period last year. Zoom out further and the trend is even more striking: listings are up 41% compared to Q2 2024 and 58% compared to Q2 2023.
