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.
