Top 5 most expensive homes for sale in Sturgeon County in May 2025
'There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort,' though it's doubtful Jane Austen was referring to basement saunas, home theatres and backyard putting greens when she said it (though the wine cellars might have met with her approval). 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 in May 2025: 5 - $2.9M bungalow in Riverstone Pointe Expensive real estate A home for sale in rural Sturgeon County.

The average price for detached homes went up 1.2 per cent in March to land at $574,872, which is 11.2 per cent higher than the same month in 2024.
