Top 5 most expensive homes for sale in Sturgeon County in May 2025
In April, CTV News Edmonton looked at some of the most expensive homes for sale in St. Albert.
Four of those listings are still up and one appears to have been relisted, but it's time for a short jaunt outside city limits to Sturgeon County.
In April, there were 4,012 new residential units for sale in the Greater Edmonton Area, according to the Realtors Association of Edmonton. That number is up 908 per cent from March and a 4.8 per cent increase from April 2024.
There were 2,710 residential unit sales in April, with 1,576 of those being detached homes. That marked an increase of 10.2 per cent from March and a 14.7 per cent decrease from April 2024.
The average price for a detached home in April was $585,707 (1.8 per cent higher than in March), which, as usual, is far below the price point of the homes on display this month.
'We've seen inventory levels decline in the negative double digits for the better part of the last 12 months, and the dwindling supply has put pressure on home prices,' association board chair Darlene Reid said in the monthly statistics report.
'That pressure won't alleviate unless this upward trend for inventory continues well past the busy season. We can still expect prices to continue to increase in the short term through the warmer months.'
Detached homes averaged 29 days on the market in April, one day less than in March.
Now, it's time to look at the most expensive homes for sale in Sturgeon County on realtor.ca in May 2025:

Average Montreal home price surpasses $1 million
Since Alec Raffa started his real estate career four years ago with Royal LePage, he's seen a steep rise in house prices, with many now costing $1 million. Since Alec Raffa started his real estate career four years ago with Royal LePage, he's seen a steep rise in house prices. His recent listing on Nun's Island is just shy of $1,000,000. 'The supply is nowhere near where the demand is at this time,' he said. New figures released from Centris show the lack of supply is having an impact on the market: the average home in price in Montreal is now $1,008,234, an increase of 42 per cent since 2020. Raffa said it's important to put that number in context. 'A lot of people tend to panic when they hear prices are over one million,' he said. 'But the Montreal market still remains quite affordable when you compare it to those of Toronto and Vancouver.' While price in those cities stagnated and even slumped last year, Montreal home prices rose by 7 per cent. Lower mortgage rates are also having an impact, according to Rise Mortgage's Brad Weigensberg. 'The average mortgage rate for the last four months has been settling somewhere around 4.09 per cent to 4.29 per cent,' he said. 'We currently have some specials with some lenders on insured purchases at 3.69 per cent or conventional deals at 3.99, which are rates that have not really been heard of over the last six months.' Some neighbourhoods around Montreal, including Outremont, Westmount and Downtown have long surpassed the million-dollar home price mark. But suburbs are catching up, with many single-family homes approaching that price. Those high price tags are forcing first-time home buyers to get creative, according to Raffa. 'They're borrowing money or they're getting gifts from their parents. Or, you see several friends that are going in on the same home,' he said, adding that parents who own property have benefitted from the 40 per cent increase in the last five years. The good news is that there are still many homes on the market below $1 million. The mean price in Greater Montreal remains around $800,000, but it's still a seller's market and buyers will have to make some compromises, including adding a commute. While Montreal's average home price did hit the million-dollar mark once in 2024, analysts expect this trend will continue and may become the new normal as demand continues to outstrip supply.

B.C. real estate agent fined $20K after buyer learns home on Indigenous site
A Vancouver Island real estate agent will pay a $20,000 penalty for misconduct after failing to investigate if an oceanfront home was on an Indigenous archaeological site. It was. And only after the deal closed did the buyer discover they were on the hook for thousands of dollars in unexpected permitting costs, plus hourly fees to hire archaeologists and Indigenous representatives, every time they wanted to dig a hole on the property. The listing was one of seven residential properties in the Qualicum Beach area that agent Candice Svrta showed the buyer, who was looking for a waterfront plot where they could either renovate an existing home or build a new one. The buyer eventually settled on the property in question, telling Svrta they planned to renovate the manufactured home that was already on site, according to details of the purchase agreement laid out in a disciplinary consent order between the agent and the B.C. Financial Services Authority. The purchase agreement was drawn up by Svrta in July 2018 and presented to the seller's agent. The contract did not include any clauses related to the property being in an archaeologically sensitive area, according to the financial services regulator. The seller provided a property disclosure statement that was crossed out and void of details except for the comment: 'We do not live here full time,' according to the consent order. Three weeks later, the buyer and seller added an addendum to the purchase agreement, knocking $5,000 off the sale price due to septic inspection results, for a final sale price of $645,000, according to the regulator. Permitting, Indigenous oversight fees The sale was completed in August 2018, but once the deal was finalized, the buyer inquired with the regional district government and learned the property was, in fact, on an archaeological site of historic importance to the area's Indigenous people. 'As a result, (the buyer) faced increased costs to alter the property, including $3,500 for a permit each time to excavate, and $125 per hour each for an archaeologist and a First Nations representative to standby for the duration of an excavation,' according to the disciplinary decision. Two years later, the buyer sued Svrta and Pemberton Holmes Ltd., claiming civil damages in B.C. Supreme Court. The lawsuit was settled privately in December 2023, according to the regulator, which had by then initiated its own investigation to confirm whether the agent had made any inquiries about the archaeological sensitivity of the property. No records of an inquiry were found, constituting a failure to take adequate steps to discover and disclose whether the property was situated on a protected archaeological site, according to the regulator. The financial services authority's investigation confirmed with the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations that the property was on an archaeological site that is protected under the Heritage Conservation Act and 'must not be damaged or altered without a provincial heritage permit' from the ministry's archeology branch, according to the order. A disciplinary hearing on Svrta's conduct was scheduled for early this year, resulting in a consent agreement signed by the agent and the regulator on Aug. 6. Under the terms of the agreement, Svrta and her personal real estate corporation (Svrta PREC), were found 'jointly and severally liable to pay a discipline penalty to the BCFSA in the amount of $20,000 within three months.' The agent will also pay $1,500 in enforcement expenses to the regulator. Svrta was also instructed to register and complete, at her own expense, the Real Estate Trading Services Remedial Education Course through the University of B.C.'s Sauder School of Business, according to the agreement. Failure to comply with the consent order can result in the suspension or cancellation of the agent's real estate licence without further notice, the regulator said. More than 62,000 archeological sites in B.C. The B.C. Real Estate Services Act requires licensed agents to act in the best interests of their client, act honestly with reasonable care and skill, and make all reasonable efforts to discover relevant facts about a property their client is considering acquiring. The regulator's investigation found that Svrta, who also uses the name Candi Drath, 'committed professional misconduct within the meaning' of those sections of the law. Svrta did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the disciplinary decision. Under the terms of the consent order, the agent is barred from making any public statements the regulator deems inconsistent with the decision. According to the Ministry of Forests, Land and Natural Resource Operations, there are more than 62,000 known archeological sites in B.C., 90 per cent of which are of First Nations origin. The most common examples of such sites include the remains of ancient villages or cemeteries, tool-manufacturing sites, fishing weirs, rock art and shell middens.
