5 of the most expensive homes for sale in Strathcona County in July 2025
In June, CTV News Edmonton looked at some of the most expensive houses in Sherwood Park.
Of those five homes, only one listing is still up.
The cost of housing is an ever-fluctuating thing and sometimes prices don't reflect how amazing a house truly is.
This month, we're not just showcasing the most expensive houses, but ones that have that 'wow' factor you would expect from homes that cost upwards of $1 million.
Some people might be happy with a simple house with a few thousand square feet and several-dozen acres, and those are available (link), but they aren't the most fun to look at.
First, some data for Strathcona County:
In June, there were 57 residential unit sales in the county, 53 of those were detached houses, according to the Realtors Association of Edmonton (RAE).
There were 70 new listings and the average price was $927,494.
These numbers compare to 2,877 units sold, 4,215 new listings and an average price of $464,955 in the greater Edmonton area.
'We're starting to see signs of a slowdown in some categories—particularly semi-detached and row/townhomes, where sales dipped and time on market increased,' said RAE board chair Darlene Reid in the monthly statistics report.
'That said, with inventory growing and strong listing activity, the Greater Edmonton Area continues to offer opportunity for both buyers and sellers as we head into the second half of the year.'
Here are some of the most expensive, and interesting, houses for sale in Strathcona County, according to realtor.ca.

The 'wow' in this home is the complete outdoor hockey rink and zamboni. In photos, the boarded rink appears to be about as long, or longer, than the house.

‘Tech is booming': Canada's first quantum computing hub boots up in southern Alberta
A new quantum super hub launched by Economic Development Lethbridge is helping to make Lethbridge a national leader in advanced computing. Businesses in southern Alberta are getting the chance to try out a publicly accessible supercomputer. A quantum computing hub, created by SuperQ Quantum Computing, recently opened at the Tecconnect innovation centre at Economic Development Lethbridge. SuperQ founder Muhammad Khan says the platform called Super is web-based and, similarly to ChatGPT, allows users to ask about complex real-world problems in plain English and come up with all possible solutions simultaneously. Problems could include supply chain bottlenecks or manufacturing inefficiencies. 'The way it does it is by combining classical computing with quantum computing and doing all the complexity stuff under the hood,' Khan told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. 'Classical computing is what we use everyday on our computers, on our laptops. 'Classical computing would take one route, and if it fails, it comes back and takes another route. Whereas quantum computing takes all the possible routes at the same time. And as a result, it is able to figure out the maze a lot faster.' Businesses in the city southwest of Calgary can trial the technology by asking questions like how to find efficient delivery routes or how to schedule staff to minimize overtime, Khan said. Super is to eventually be made available to the broader public by licence. The Lethbridge Super hub is the first in a series of planned networks worldwide. Other locations are set to be established elsewhere in Canada, the United States, Europe, India and the United Arab Emirates. Khan said setting up the platform's nucleus in Lethbridge is a full-circle moment. 'I have a deep affection for Tecconnect as my entrepreneurial journey started there,' Khan said, adding the centre has helped facilitate emerging technologies in Alberta and Canada. 'That appetite to promote emerging technologies with a business focus is something that is not very common. And if you go to the big centres, it's hard to bring about these programs.' Renae Barlow, vice-president of entrepreneurship and innovation at Economic Development Lethbridge, said emerging technologies, such as Tecconnect, can keep businesses competitive. Local teams are offering workshops and training to help companies learn more about the platform, she said. 'Having businesses understand why it's important for them to integrate this (technology) and to be on the leading edge and to really create that competitive advantage is what we wanted for our southern Alberta businesses,' Barlow said. 'To understand that this actually puts them ahead.' Khan said some businesses in telehealth have also reached out about using the platform to build artificial intelligence doctors. 'Their human doctors couldn't keep up with the demand,' he said. 'So that was done, but then the question was, 'How do you increase the accuracy of those AI clinicians?' And this is where we came in, and the Super platform came in to take those AI models to the next level.' Barlow said there's been other interest in things like understanding global markets and even determining nutritional values for cattle. The hub is also getting noticed by government officials. Nate Glubish, Alberta's minister of technology and innovation, highlighted the hub on social media. 'Alberta tech is booming,' he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025. — By Aaron Sousa in Edmonton

Online banks can be problematic when it comes to this type of transaction
Earlier this month, I wrote about how I ditched my Big Six bank in favour of an online upstart. It made my banking more streamlined, and I save on fees. The responses were overwhelmingly positive. Readers chimed in about how they'd done the same and were surprised more people haven't caught on. But one e-mail caught my eye. Nancy Robertson, vice-president of sales at Sotheby's International Realty Canada, said she has seen multiple home sales nearly fall through because a client only had an online account. She knew of roughly 10 cases in the past year in which an online bank led to issues for people closing on a home because wire transfers took longer, banking staff were difficult to reach or the company had difficulty completing the kind of large transfers required in a real estate deal. (They all managed to close in the end, albeit sometimes with delays.) 'In our experience, it's been an issue every time,' Ms. Robertson said. 'We now ask our clients who they bank with.' Bank drafts – the standard way to make closing payments on a home purchase – are one major source of difficulty. They're available instantly at in-person banks but can take multiple days to be couriered by some online banks. Ms. Robertson said she tells clients with online banks to make alternate arrangements, such as relying on a family member to make a large fund transfer. I can relate. When I bought my first home a couple of years ago, I had to make a mad dash to my brick-and-mortar bank to get a last-second bank draft. But considering how infrequent these kinds of big purchases are, I decided switch anyway. There are also some workarounds. For example, Simplii Financial is one of the few online banks that can generally provide a rush order for a bank draft within a day. Instead of waiting for it in the mail, clients can pick it up from a CIBC branch. (CIBC owns Simplii and also allows Simplii customers to use its ATMs for free.) Meanwhile, EQ Bank spokesperson Maggie Hall said the pending introduction of a real-time payment system in Canada should solve this issue. Real-Time Rail, an instant payment system that will allow funds to be moved seamlessly between institutions 24/7, has been under development for years in Canada. The technology is finally set to begin testing in the fall.
