September 2026: Central Alberta stays seller-leaning as inventory edges up

Central Alberta closed September with 612 sales, up 9.1% from a year ago. The regional benchmark price reached $404,600.

Inventory has now risen three months in a row, giving buyers a little more choice heading into fall. Months of supply sits at 2.3 — still a seller-leaning market, but less frantic than spring.
