September 2026 Housing Market Report | Lloydminster, Alberta & Saskatchewan

The Lloydminster residential real estate market recorded 50 property sales in September 2026, with an average selling price of $352,184 and an average of 48 days on the market.

With buyers purchasing everything from entry-level properties to higher-priced family homes, September's MLS statistics provide a useful look at where activity was concentrated and what homeowners should consider when preparing to sell.

Let's break down the numbers.

What Happened in the Lloydminster Housing Market in September?

September recorded 50 residential property sales across the Alberta and Saskatchewan sides of Lloydminster.

Here are the key statistics:

The average selling price and median selling price were remarkably close, with only a $684 difference.

This indicates that the average was not dramatically pulled away from the middle of the market by the highest or lowest sales.

Another important statistic is the sale-to-list price ratio. At 97.07%, sellers received approximately 97 cents for every dollar of their final asking prices on average.

That reinforces the importance of setting a realistic listing price from the beginning.

Which Types of Homes Were Selling in Lloydminster?

Detached homes continued to account for the largest share of residential transactions during September.

Of the 50 residential properties sold:

• 43 were detached homes.

• 4 were townhouses or row homes.

• 2 were apartments.

• 1 was a semi-detached home or half duplex.

Detached properties represented 86% of September's residential sales.

For homeowners considering selling a detached house in Lloydminster, this shows where the greatest number of completed transactions occurred.

Townhouses and apartments also recorded sales, demonstrating that buyers purchased different housing styles and price points throughout the month.

These figures reflect property classifications rather than a separate count of condominium ownership.

What Price Ranges Were Most Active?

One of the most interesting findings from September's real estate statistics is where the majority of purchases took place.

September Sales by Price Range

The $300,000–$399,999 price range experienced the highest number of transactions, accounting for 34% of the month's residential sales.

The $200,000–$299,999 range followed closely, accounting for another 30%.

Combined, these two ranges represented 64% of all residential properties sold in Lloydminster during September.

This is important information for anyone thinking about buying or selling.

It tells us where completed sales were concentrated, although we would also need active listing numbers by price range to determine which segments have the most competition.

Higher-priced properties were also selling, with eight transactions at $500,000 or above.

How Long Were Homes Taking to Sell?

Homes sold in September spent an average of 48 days on the market, while the median was 37 days.

The median is worth watching because it represents the middle of the sales data and is less affected by properties that take an unusually long time to sell.

The MLS report also recorded an average cumulative days on market of 54 days. This figure accounts for additional listing exposure recorded by MLS and provides another perspective on marketing time.

Individual selling times varied considerably, ranging from 7 to 192 days on market.

For sellers, this is a reminder that not every home sells at the same pace. Price, location, property condition, and competition all need to be considered when developing a listing strategy.

Alberta vs. Saskatchewan: Where Were Homes Selling?

Lloydminster is unique because our housing market spans two provinces.

In September, the Alberta side recorded 38 residential sales, while the Saskatchewan side recorded 12.

The average selling price was approximately $376,995 on the Alberta side, compared with $273,617 on the Saskatchewan side.

Average marketing times were relatively close, at approximately 47 days in Alberta and 50 days in Saskatchewan.

It's important not to interpret these average prices as a direct comparison of property values between the provinces.

The types, sizes, locations, and conditions of the homes sold can all influence the average.

When determining a home's market value, I focus on comparable properties that reflect its specific location and features.

What Does September's Market Mean for Sellers?

If you're thinking about selling your home in Lloydminster, September's numbers offer several useful insights.

First, there were 50 successful residential transactions during the month, including 43 detached homes.

Second, the greatest number of sales occurred between $200,000 and $399,999.

Third, the average sale-to-list price ratio was 97.07%, meaning the typical transaction involved some negotiation below the final asking price.

My advice to sellers is to focus on three things: accurate pricing, strong presentation, and a marketing strategy built around your property's competition.

A listing price should be supported by recent comparable sales, not simply by what other homeowners are asking.

Professional photography, effective online exposure, and thoughtful property preparation can help buyers understand the value your home offers.

The goal is to position your property effectively from the moment it enters the market.

What Does September's Market Mean for Buyers?

For buyers searching for homes for sale in Lloydminster, September showed activity across several price ranges.

The strongest concentration of sales occurred between $200,000 and $399,999, but purchases also took place above $500,000.

The average home sold for approximately 97% of its asking price, suggesting that negotiation was part of many transactions.

However, that does not mean every seller will accept the same discount.

Buyers should evaluate each property individually, considering recent comparable sales, condition, location, and time on the market.

Understanding these factors can help buyers make competitive offers without paying more than the available market evidence supports.

Is Lloydminster a Buyer's or Seller's Market?

September's completed sales provide useful information about pricing and demand, but they do not establish whether Lloydminster was experiencing a buyer's market, seller's market, or balanced market.

To make that determination, we also need current active inventory and months of supply.

Without those figures, it would be premature to label the market.

What we can confirm is that residential properties were selling across several price points, with detached homes accounting for most transactions.

My Expert Take: September 2026

After reviewing September's residential sales, the biggest takeaway for me is the concentration of activity between $200,000 and $400,000.

That price segment accounted for nearly two-thirds of all residential sales in Lloydminster.

Detached homes represented the majority of transactions, while the average sale-to-list ratio of 97.07% reinforces the importance of realistic pricing.

With homes taking an average of 48 days to sell, homeowners need to approach the market with a clear understanding of their competition and a well-planned marketing strategy.

As we move into the fall market, I will continue watching inventory levels, selling prices, and marketing times to see how conditions develop.

Real estate decisions should be based on local facts, not headlines.

Market statistics based on MLS residential properties reported sold in the City of Lloydminster from September 1–30, 2026. Figures reflect the available MLS reports and may change with subsequent reporting updates.

Lloydminster’s residential market recorded seven sales and seven properties moving to pending this week, with 115 active listings available. Detached homes accounted for all reported sales, and sale prices ranged from $175,000 to $450,000.

This week’s market snapshot

What types of properties are selling?

All seven sales were detached homes: four bungalows, two four-level splits and one modified bi-level. Five of the seven homes sold below $400,000, placing most of this week’s completed activity in the more affordable price ranges.

Buyers still have a variety of options. The 115 active listings include:

• 96 detached homes

• 9 row homes or townhouses

• 8 apartments

• 2 semi-detached homes

No apartment, townhouse or semi-detached sales were reported this week. A single week is too small a sample to establish a lasting trend for those property types.

Selling times vary considerably

Sold homes spent between seven and 231 days on the market. Although the average was 80 days, the median was 45 days, meaning the middle sale had a considerably shorter marketing period.

Two homes that took 152 and 231 days to sell pushed the average higher. This range shows why sellers should look at comparable properties rather than use the citywide average as a firm timeline.

Pricing remains a key part of the strategy

Homes sold for an average of 97.9% of their current asking price—roughly 2.1% below asking. That suggests relatively modest negotiation on the homes that reached a sale, but it does not account for earlier price reductions.

The average active asking price of $448,883 was higher than this week’s average sold price of $322,571. These figures describe different groups of properties. The gap reflects the mix of available homes and this week’s sales; it does not establish a decline in property values.

Pending activity includes higher-priced homes

The seven properties that moved to pending were all detached homes, with asking prices ranging from $284,900 to $1,495,000. Their median asking price was $659,900, showing that this week’s pending activity included higher-priced properties.

Pending asking prices are not confirmed sale prices, and these transactions remain separate from the seven reported sales.

What this means for buyers and sellers

For buyers: There are 115 residential listings to consider, with options across several property types. Some homes are selling quickly, so being prepared matters when the right property comes along.

For sellers: Recent sales support a careful pricing strategy based on your home’s location, condition and closest competition. Selling times vary widely, making strong presentation and regular reviews of buyer feedback important.

Based on the supplied Lloydminster residential MLS reports for September 28–October 4, 2026. Active listings represent inventory at the time of the report.

Lloydminster had 110 active residential listings during the week of September 21–27. Four homes sold, with an average sold price of $374,250 and an average of 39 days on market. A further 11 properties moved to pending status.

What the numbers tell us

The pending count was higher than the number of completed sales this week, showing that buyers are still making decisions across the market. Pending properties are not final sales, though, so their prices should not be treated as sold prices.

The four sold homes averaged 97.13% of their final asking prices. That points to some negotiation, but it is a small group of sales. The sold price range ran from $265,000 to $565,000, which also means the weekly average can shift sharply when a single higher priced home closes.

Why property type and price range matter

The attached property details show a broad selection, from apartments and starter homes to larger detached houses and luxury properties. Those homes serve different buyers and should be compared within their own property type, condition, location, and price range.

That mix also explains why the $483,784 average active asking price needs context: the active list includes a home priced at $2.5 million. The $414,900 median asking price is less affected by the highest priced listings.

For sellers, this week’s results are a reminder to price against the homes buyers are actually comparing with yours. For buyers, the 110 active listings offer choice, while the 11 pending properties show that well matched homes are still attracting offers.

If you’d like a closer look at your neighbourhood or property type, I can put the relevant sales and competing listings into perspective.

Source: attached Lloydminster residential Statistics Sheet and Comps, September 21–27, 2026. Days on market refers to the four sold properties.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market recorded another solid week of activity from September 14 through September 20, with 17 completed sales and another 11 properties pending.

There are currently 111 active residential listings in Lloydminster. Active properties have an average asking price of $463,081, with a median asking price of $399,900. The wide range of available inventory, from $50,000 to $1.495 million, continues to provide options across very different buyer segments.

This Week's Sales

The 17 properties sold during the reporting period achieved an:

• Average sale price: $376,262

• Median sale price: $385,000

• Average days on market: 57 days

• Median days on market: 49 days

• Average sale-to-list ratio: 97.02%

• Sale-price range: $116,000–$621,000

One number I find particularly interesting this week is the median sale price of $385,000. Because the median is higher than the $376,262 average, the lower-priced transactions, including the $116,000 condo sale, pulled the overall average downward. This is why looking beyond the average price gives us a better picture of what's really happening in the market.

Detached Homes Remain Important

Detached homes continue to represent an important part of Lloydminster's residential activity. For example, a College Park home sold for $464,950 after 20 days on the market, while a Steele Heights bungalow sold for $375,000 after 21 days. A Saskatchewan-side bungalow sold for $215,000, illustrating the range of buyers and price points currently participating in the market.

The market isn't limited to detached homes. A two-bedroom apartment sold for $116,000, and a three-bedroom Saskatchewan-side townhouse sold for $285,000. That activity is important because it shows demand across entry-level, condo/townhouse and traditional family-home segments rather than being concentrated in just one category.

What Sellers Should Know

The average active listing has now been on the market for 71 days, compared with 57 days for properties that sold this week. That 14-day difference is worth paying attention to.

It reinforces the importance of pricing, presentation and positioning from the beginning. The average sold property achieved 97.02% of its asking price, suggesting buyers are negotiating but are still willing to pay close to asking price when they see value.

What Buyers Should Know

There are 111 active listings, but inventory doesn't tell the whole story. Price range, neighbourhood, property type and condition can create very different levels of competition.

With 11 properties already pending, good properties are continuing to attract buyers. If you're waiting for the "perfect" time to buy, it's more useful to focus on the opportunities available within your particular price range.

The Bottom Line

The September 14–20 numbers show a Lloydminster market with continued transaction activity, broad price-point participation and sale prices remaining relatively close to asking prices.

For sellers, accurate pricing remains critical. For buyers, there are choices, but the best opportunities still require preparation and the ability to act when the right property comes along.

The Lloydminster real estate market recorded 41 residential sales during August 2026, with homes selling from $67,500 to $815,000.

The average residential sale price finished the month at $376,000, while the median was $345,000. Homes took an average of 41 days to sell, and sellers received an average of 96.7% of their asking price.

What Happened in the Lloydminster Housing Market This Month?

August sales were spread across several different segments of the Lloydminster real estate market.

Detached homes remained the dominant category with 28 of the month's 41 sales. There were also five townhouse sales, five apartment-style condo sales and three semi-detached sales.

That diversity is important because it shows that buyers were not concentrated in only one part of the market.

Which Homes and Price Ranges Are Selling?

Affordable homes recorded strong activity, with 10 properties selling below $200,000.

However, buyer demand extended well beyond the entry-level market. There were:

• 7 sales from $200,000–$299,999

• 7 from $300,000–$399,999

• 8 from $400,000–$499,999

• 2 from $500,000–$599,999

• 4 from $600,000–$699,999

• 3 sales at $700,000 or higher

The $300,000–$499,999 range accounted for 15 sales, making it an important part of the market for traditional family homes.

There was also meaningful activity at the upper end. August included sales of $682,000, $695,000, $699,900, $785,000, $805,000 and $815,000, among other higher-priced properties.

Alberta Side vs. Saskatchewan Side

Of the 41 recorded residential sales, 32 were on the Alberta side and nine were on the Saskatchewan side.

The Alberta sales averaged approximately $410,631, compared with approximately $252,867 on the Saskatchewan side. The Alberta side also contained many of August's higher-priced executive and newer-home sales, so property mix is an important part of that difference.

What Does August Mean for Lloydminster Sellers?

The key number I am watching is the 96.7% average sale-to-list price ratio.

Homes are selling, but buyers are still negotiating and watching value carefully. Sellers who price according to recent comparable sales are putting themselves in a much stronger position than sellers who start well above the market.

Condition and presentation also remain important. Buyers have choices within many price ranges, so a well-prepared home can stand out quickly.

What Does August Mean for Lloydminster Buyers?

There continues to be opportunity at several price points.

First-time buyers had options below $300,000, while family buyers were active throughout the $300,000–$500,000 range. Buyers looking for newer construction, larger garages, waterfront locations or executive homes also had sales activity well above $600,000.

The median home sold for $345,000 and took 34 days on market, while the overall average was 41 days.

That means good properties can still move fairly quickly, so buyers should have financing and their buying strategy ready before the right home appears.

My Outlook

August's numbers show a steady and diverse Lloydminster residential market rather than activity concentrated in one narrow segment.

Detached properties remain the backbone of the market, affordability continues to attract buyers, and there is still a functioning luxury and executive-home market.

For sellers, the strategy is straightforward: price accurately, present the property properly and understand your immediate competition.

For buyers, knowing recent sales, not just current asking prices, remains one of the best ways to make a confident offer.

The attached August reports do not include current active inventory, new-listing totals or previous-period figures, so I would add those before making a formal month-over-month, year-over-year or buyer-versus-seller market comparison.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market started September with steady activity. For the week of August 31 through September 6, there were 109 active residential listings, 14 pending properties and 12 reported sales.

Lloydminster Market Numbers

The average sold price was $337,625, while the median sold price came in at $305,000. Sold properties averaged 39 days on market, while the median was just 28 days.

Sellers achieved an average of 96.37% of their asking price, with the week's individual sale-to-list ratios ranging from approximately 93.87% to 98.54%.

What Sold This Week?

The detailed property report gives us a better picture of where buyers are spending their money.

The highest sale of the week was a 1,515 sq. ft. modified bi-level in Lakeside, which sold for $560,000 after 76 days on market. A Wallacefield bi-level sold for $507,500, and a College Park bungalow sold for $499,500.

There was also considerable activity through the more affordable and mid-range segments. Sales included properties at $365,000, $333,000, $325,000, $285,000, $283,000 and $281,500, along with townhouse and semi-detached sales at lower price points.

What I'm Seeing in the Lloydminster Market

The mid-range remains important. The overall average sold price of $337,625 is being supported by activity across several price ranges rather than one isolated segment.

Higher-priced homes are selling too. Three of this week's sales were approximately $500,000 or higher, demonstrating that qualified buyers are still moving on upper-end properties when the home, location and pricing line up.

Buyers are negotiating. At a 96.37% average sale-to-list ratio, the typical sold property closed roughly 3.6% below its final list price. Sellers should therefore pay close attention to their initial positioning and how their property compares with current competition.

Inventory provides buyers with choice. There are currently 109 active residential listings with an average list price of $439,923. The median active price is considerably lower at $379,900, showing how higher-priced inventory is pulling the overall average upward.

There is more activity coming. Fourteen properties went pending during the reporting period, with an average list price of $313,043 and median of $304,450. That is another indication that the more attainable portion of the Lloydminster market continues to attract buyers.

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

The market is moving, but buyers are paying attention to value. With active properties averaging 74 days on market, compared with 39 days for the homes that sold this week, properties that successfully attract buyers are moving considerably faster than the overall active inventory.

For sellers considering a fall move, pricing, presentation and marketing from day one remain critical. The goal isn't simply to put your home on the market — it's to position it properly against the homes buyers are comparing it with.

For buyers, 109 active listings means there are choices, but desirable and properly priced homes can still move quickly.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market finished August with 117 active listings, 9 properties moving into pending status and 9 completed sales during the August 24–30 reporting period.

This Week at a Glance

Active Listings: 117
Average Active List Price: $428,685
Median Active List Price: $374,950
Pending Sales: 9
Completed Sales: 9
Average Sold Price: $377,000
Median Sold Price: $450,000
Average Sold DOM: 52 days
Average Sale-to-List Ratio: 96.81%

What the Numbers Tell Us

The $377,000 average sold price needs some context this week.

The median sale was considerably higher at $450,000, while individual sales ranged from just $67,500 all the way to $682,000. A handful of lower-priced transactions therefore had a significant effect on the weekly average. I wouldn't interpret the lower average alone as evidence that Lloydminster home values dropped this week.

The property data also shows activity at several different levels of the market. Examples include a Lakeside modified bi-level selling for $682,000, a West Lloydminster bungalow at $605,000, a Lakeside bi-level at $492,500, a Parkview Estates modified bi-level at $475,000, and a College Park modified bi-level at $450,000.

Sellers Are Still Negotiating,  But Not Heavily

The average home sold for 96.81% of its final list price, and the median was 97.44%. That's an important number for both buyers and sellers.

It shows buyers are negotiating, but on average sellers aren't giving up huge amounts from their asking prices. One property in College Park actually sold for $450,000 after being listed at $449,900.

Inventory Remains an Important Part of the Story

There were 117 active residential listings across Lloydminster at the end of this reporting period. The average active listing had been on the market for 70 days, while the median was considerably lower at 44 days.

That difference matters. Some properties with very high days on market are pulling up the overall average. In fact, the active inventory includes properties ranging from just 1 day to 535 days on market.

For sellers, this reinforces something we've seen repeatedly: pricing and positioning matter. Buyers have choices, but inventory becomes much tighter once they narrow their search by neighbourhood, home style, condition, garage requirements and price.

What I'm Watching Going Into September

The 9 pending properties are worth watching because they give us a look at what's potentially coming next. Their average list price is $405,769, with a median of $443,950.

That higher median pending price, combined with this week's $450,000 median sold price, suggests there is meaningful activity in Lloydminster's mid-to-upper price ranges.

As we move into September, I'll be watching whether inventory begins to decline with the change of season, how quickly well-priced homes are being absorbed, and whether the stronger activity we're seeing around the middle and upper portions of the market continues.

If you're considering selling this fall, don't base your home's value on the city-wide average alone. Property type, neighbourhood, condition, age, updates and current competing inventory all play a major role in determining where your property should be positioned.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market continued to show healthy buyer activity during the week of August 17–23, 2026, with 15 properties moving into pending status and seven completed sales.

Lloydminster Market at a Glance

• Active Residential Listings: 124

• Pending Sales: 15

• Properties Sold: 7

• Average Sold Price: $422,686

• Median Sold Price: $415,000

• Average Days on Market: 43 days

• Median Days on Market: 40 days

• Average Sale-to-List Ratio: 96.85%

• Average Active List Price: $421,630

One of the strongest indicators this week is the number of pending sales. With 15 properties moving to pending compared with seven completed sales, there is a healthy pipeline of transactions that could translate into additional closed sales over the coming weeks.

Detached Homes Led the Market

Detached properties represented four of the seven sales this week, and they were responsible for some of the strongest numbers.

The four detached homes sold for:

• $785,000

• $695,000

• $444,000

• $415,000

That works out to an average of approximately $584,750 for the detached homes sold this week.

The remaining sales included a semi-detached property at $239,900 and two apartments at $200,000 and $179,900.

This broad range of sales is important because it shows that Lloydminster buyers aren't concentrated in just one price category.

Higher-End Buyers Were Active

This week's overall average sold price of $422,686 was influenced by two substantial sales at $695,000 and $785,000.

That doesn't mean every Lloydminster home suddenly increased in value. It demonstrates why weekly averages need context. With only seven sales, a couple of higher-priced properties can have a significant effect on the overall average.

The median sold price of $415,000 gives us another useful measure of where this week's sales were concentrated.

What's Happening With Pending Sales?

There were 15 pending residential properties during the week, with an average list price of $346,554 and median list price of $299,900.

Most importantly, 11 of the 15 pending properties are detached homes.

That tells us buyers continue to be active in Lloydminster's traditional detached housing market, particularly in the affordable and mid-range segments.

Inventory Remains Worth Watching

Lloydminster currently has 124 active residential listings, with an average asking price of $421,630.

Active listings have been on the market an average of 68 days, compared with an average of 43 days for the homes that sold this week.

That difference reinforces something sellers should pay attention to: homes that are positioned properly for the current market can still move considerably faster than the overall active inventory.

The average sale-to-list ratio this week was 96.85%, meaning buyers are negotiating, but sellers are still achieving prices relatively close to asking on average.

What This Means for Lloydminster Sellers

The market continues to provide opportunities, but pricing matters.

With buyers actively writing offers and 15 properties moving into pending status this week, sellers who combine the right price with strong presentation and marketing have an opportunity to capture current demand.

Properties that are sitting longer should be reviewing their pricing and how they compare with the homes buyers are actually choosing.

What This Means for Buyers

There are currently 124 residential properties available, giving buyers choices across a wide range of prices and property styles.

At the same time, the number of pending properties tells us desirable homes are being picked up.

If the right property comes onto the market at the right price, being prepared to act can make the difference.

There are some changes coming to residential recycling in Lloydminster this fall — including a small reduction in costs for many homeowners.

Lloydminster City Council has approved a temporary $3.82 monthly rebate for eligible residential utility customers as the City transitions its residential recycling program to Alberta’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program.

The change officially takes effect October 1, 2026.

What Does This Mean for Lloydminster Homeowners?

From October 1 through December 31, 2026, eligible residential properties will receive a $3.82 monthly rebate on their City utility account.

The rebate reflects the removal of residential recycling costs from the City's curbside collection fee.

Beginning January 1, 2027, rather than receiving a separate rebate, the City's Fees and Charges Bylaw will be adjusted to reflect the reduction in the curbside collection fee.

Why Is Lloydminster's Recycling Program Changing?

Under Alberta's Extended Producer Responsibility program, the companies that produce and supply packaging and paper products take on greater financial responsibility for collecting and recycling those materials.

Starting October 1, Circular Materials will become responsible for Lloydminster's residential recycling program, with Integrity Waste Solutions providing collection services on its behalf.

For residents, the transition should be fairly seamless.

Will My Recycling Day Change?

According to the City, residents will continue receiving recycling collection on their existing schedule.

Residents will also still be able to place multiple blue bags out for collection.

One of the biggest benefits of the new program is that a broader range of recyclable materials will be accepted beginning October 1.

Garbage and organics collection will remain the responsibility of the City of Lloydminster and will continue as usual.

Until October 1, residents should continue following the City's current recycling guidelines.

Who Gets the $3.82 Rebate?

The rebate applies to residential properties that currently:

• Receive curbside collection services from the City; and

• Pay the curbside collection fee through their City utility account.

There is an important distinction for condos, apartments and other multi-family properties.

Multi-family properties may qualify to receive recycling services through the EPR program, but they will not receive the $3.82 rebate because individual units are not currently charged the City's curbside collection fee through their utility accounts.

Owners and managers of multi-family properties who want to participate in the new recycling program will need to register with Circular Materials.

Commercial properties are not included in the EPR program and will not qualify for the rebate.

What This Means for Lloydminster Real Estate

These may seem like small changes, but they're exactly the kind of local updates homeowners, landlords, buyers and sellers should know about.

Utility costs, waste collection, property taxes, municipal services and neighbourhood amenities all contribute to the overall cost and experience of owning property in Lloydminster.

As a REALTOR® who has worked in the Lloydminster market since 1998, I believe keeping clients informed goes beyond simply knowing what homes are selling for. It's also about understanding the community, the services available to homeowners and the changes that can affect property ownership.

If you're considering buying, selling or investing in Lloydminster, I'd be happy to help you understand both the market and the community you're investing in.

Information for this article was obtained from the City of Lloydminster's August 19, 2026 announcement regarding the recycling rebate and transition to the Extended Producer Responsibility program.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market recorded another active week from August 10–16, 2026, with sales taking place across a broad range of property types and price points.

According to this week's MLS statistics, Lloydminster currently has 126 active residential listings, along with 20 pending properties.

During the week, 11 residential properties sold, with an average selling price of $352,973 and an average of 40 days on market.

Lloydminster Market at a Glance

• Active Listings: 126

• Pending Listings: 20

• Properties Sold: 11

• Average Sold Price: $352,973

• Median Sold Price: $260,000

• Average Days on Market: 40

• Median Days on Market: 29

• Average Sale-to-List Price: 95.51%

Detached Homes Continue to Lead Sales

Detached homes represented the majority of this week's activity, accounting for 8 of the 11 residential sales.

The week also included one townhouse sale and two apartment sales, showing that buyers remain active beyond the traditional detached-home market.

There was an exceptionally wide spread in selling prices this week. Residential sales ranged from $85,500 to $815,000.

At the upper end, a detached home in Parkview Estates sold for $815,000, while a Lakeside property sold for $699,900, matching its asking price.

Other detached sales occurred at $474,900, $435,000, $382,000, $217,500, $159,900 and $85,500.

The week's townhouse sale closed at $260,000, while the two apartment sales closed at $190,000 and $163,000.

What Do the Numbers Tell Us?

The $352,973 average selling price is considerably higher than the week's $260,000 median selling price. That difference is important.

A small number of higher-priced transactions, including the $815,000 and $699,900 sales, pulled the overall average higher. The median provides another useful look at where the middle of this week's sales activity occurred.

Pricing also remains important. Across all 11 sales, properties achieved an average of approximately 95.5% of their final asking price. Some homes sold substantially below asking, while others achieved essentially full list price.

Market time varied considerably as well. The average sold property spent 40 days on market, while the median was only 29 days. Well-positioned properties can still move quickly, but buyers continue to distinguish between homes based on price, condition and overall value.

Looking Ahead

There are currently 20 pending residential properties in Lloydminster, with an average pending price of approximately $392,595. That provides a healthy pipeline of transactions that could move into the sold category over the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, the 126 active listings range from $59,500 to more than $1.5 million, giving buyers choices across a broad range of the market.

For sellers, this week's results reinforce an important point: buyers are active, but proper pricing remains critical. Homes that show well and are positioned correctly against their competition have a much better opportunity to attract serious buyers.

If you're considering selling, buying or simply want to know what your Lloydminster property may be worth in today's market, let's talk.

For buyers looking for a brand-new home in Lloydminster without stepping into the higher price ranges we often associate with new construction, Aurora is a neighbourhood worth watching.

Located in Lloydminster, Aurora has been thoughtfully planned as a modern, family-focused community with an emphasis on affordability, green space and everyday convenience.

New Homes in the $400,000–$450,000 Range

One of the biggest opportunities in Aurora is the potential for builders to offer quality single-detached homes in approximately the $400,000 to $450,000 price range.

With residential lots currently ranging from approximately $85,560 to $121,875, builders have an opportunity to create new homes at a price point that can appeal to first-time buyers, young families, move-up buyers and anyone wanting the benefits of new construction while keeping affordability in mind.

In the Lloydminster market, having more new-construction options in this range is important. Buyers are watching their budgets closely, but they still want modern layouts, energy efficiency, attractive finishes and a neighbourhood where they can see themselves staying for years.

A Neighbourhood Designed for Families

Aurora offers more than just new homes. The community has been designed around a walkable, family-friendly lifestyle with parks, walking trails and green spaces, along with convenient access to schools, shopping and major transportation routes.

The addition of a new playground and splash park gives families another reason to consider the area and creates a gathering place right within the neighbourhood.

These amenities can make a big difference when buyers are comparing where they want to live—not just which house they want to buy.

More Flexibility for New Home Designs

Another interesting feature of Aurora is the flexibility available to builders.

Architectural controls allow homes to be constructed with or without an attached garage. That gives builders more options when designing homes for different budgets and allows buyers to prioritize the features that matter most to them.

For some buyers, an attached garage will remain a must-have. For others, choosing a home without one could provide an opportunity to get into a brand-new detached home at a more attainable price.

What This Could Mean for Lloydminster Buyers

Affordability continues to be one of the biggest conversations in real estate.

Aurora creates an opportunity to bring more single-family new construction into the $400,000–$450,000 range, while still offering buyers the benefits of a planned neighbourhood and modern construction.

Whether you're a first-time buyer considering new construction, a family looking for more space, or a builder considering your next Lloydminster project, Aurora is certainly an area to keep on your radar.

Thinking about building or buying a new home in Aurora? I can help you look at available options, compare new construction with existing homes, and determine what makes the most sense for your budget and long-term plans.

Source information and pricing referenced from the City of Lloydminster. Lot pricing and new-home pricing are subject to change.

The Lloydminster residential real estate market remained active throughout July, with 51 residential properties changing hands across both the Alberta and Saskatchewan sides of the city.

Sales covered a wide range of property types and price points, showing that buyers weren't concentrated in just one segment of the market.

July 2026 Market Snapshot

A total of 51 residential properties sold, with an average sale price of approximately $311,196. The median sale price came in at $294,000, giving us a good indication that much of July's activity remained centred around Lloydminster's affordable and mid-range housing market.

Properties sold from a low of $65,000 to a high of $625,000. At the upper end, July included several sales above $500,000, including properties selling for $515,000, $536,000, $538,000, $580,000 and $625,000.

What Types of Homes Sold?

Detached homes were clearly the strongest segment of the market:

40 Detached Homes | 6 Apartments | 3 Semi-Detached Homes | 2 Row/Townhouses

That means roughly 78% of all July residential sales were detached homes.

There was still activity in the attached and condominium market, with apartment sales ranging from $142,000 up to $235,000 and townhome sales recorded at $185,000 and $268,000.

Where Were Buyers Spending?

The largest concentration of sales occurred between $200,000 and $400,000.

Of July's 51 sales, 16 sold between $200,000–$299,999, while another 11 sold between $300,000–$399,999. That's 27 sales—or approximately 53% of the entire month's activity—between $200,000 and $400,000.

We also saw healthy movement further up the market, with 7 sales between $400,000–$499,999 and 6 sales at $500,000 or higher.

This tells us Lloydminster continues to have buyers across a broad range of price points, but the $200,000–$400,000 range remains an important part of our market.

How Long Are Homes Taking to Sell?

The overall average Days on Market was approximately 42 days, but there's an important story behind that number.

The median was just 22 days.

Several properties took well over 100 days to sell—including listings at 105, 126, 137, 145 and 179 days—which pulled the overall average upward.

At the same time, we saw homes sell in 7, 9, 11, 12, 14 and 15 days.

What Does This Mean for Lloydminster Sellers?

July's numbers reinforce something we see repeatedly in our market: buyers will act quickly when the property, condition and price line up.

With more than half of July's sales occurring between $200,000 and $400,000 and a median selling time of only 22 days, sellers need to pay close attention to recent comparable sales when determining their list price.

Overpricing can cost valuable time on the market. A strong pricing and marketing strategy from day one gives sellers a much better opportunity to capture buyers while their listing is still fresh.

If you're thinking about selling this summer or fall, I'd be happy to prepare a current market evaluation and show you exactly where your home fits in today's Lloydminster market.
