Airdrie Real Estate Market Update, September 2026: The Typical Price Went Up. Your Home's Value Probably Didn't.

Here's how the September Real Estate market went in Airdrie:

• 115 homes sold. That's down from 137 in August and 131 last September. Sales usually ease off from August to September: over the last three years, September averaged about 141 sales against about 175 in August.
• The typical home sold for $505,000, up from $487,500 in August and down 4.7 per cent from $530,000 a year ago. The average was $523,000.
• Homes took about seven and a half weeks to sell on average (52 days), about a week longer than last September.
• Buyers paid 97.5 per cent of the asking price, close to last year's 98.3.
• CREB® counted 480 homes for sale at the end of September, 16 per cent fewer than a year ago, and puts Airdrie at about four months of supply. Their benchmark price, which compares like homes with like homes, is $505,800, nearly 4 per cent lower than last year.
• Money costs 5.18 per cent on an average big-bank five-year fixed as of October 19, and insured rates come in under that.

The typical price went up in September. Your home's value probably didn't.

If you saw that the typical Airdrie price jumped from $487,500 in August to $505,000 in September, that's true. But it doesn't mean homes got more valuable in a month.

The typical price is the one in the middle: line up every sale from least to most expensive, and it's the one halfway along. So it moves when the mix of homes that sold changes, even if no single home is worth a dollar more.

That's what happened in September. 17 homes sold for $700,000 or more, compared with 8 in August, and 4 sold for $1 million or more, compared with none. More big homes in the line pushes the middle up.

Take those out and look at everything under $700,000: the typical sale was $478,000 in August and $475,000 in September. Flat. And CREB®'s benchmark price, built to compare like homes with like homes, went from $508,800 to $505,800 over the same month. Steady, a touch lower.

So if you're thinking of selling, don't price off the headline number. Price off homes like yours that sold around you in the last couple of months. What your home is worth is what the buyers are willing to pay for a home like it.

Move-up homes are selling at a normal pace again after a quiet August

August was a slow month for bigger homes: only 8 sold at $700,000 or more. In September it was 17, the same as July and close to last September's 18. The top sale was $1,355,000.

If you're in a larger home and thinking about your next move, the buyers at that level are out there and active this fall. And if you're moving up, you're selling and buying in the same market: the time and choice buyers have right now work for you on the purchase.

When people ask me how the market is, I always say there are a lot of opportunities out there. September is a good example: steady prices for regular homes, and the bigger homes moving again.
