West Springs Market Update

West Springs’ detached market was exceptionally tight in August 2026. Twelve homes sold—up 20% from August 2025—while new listings declined 60% and inventory fell from 20 homes to just four. This produced only 0.33 months of supply and a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 150%, indicating that sales exceeded the number of new listings entering the market.

The detached benchmark price increased approximately 5% year over year to $1,084,000. The median sale price reached $1,137,500, while the average was $1,233,674. Detached homes sold for an average of 98% of their asking price and spent 25 days on the market, compared with 19 days and 99% of asking price the previous summer.

Semi-detached homes also experienced strong conditions. Two properties sold, inventory declined to one home and months of supply fell to 0.50. These homes sold for an average of 101% of their asking price after only eight days. The semi-detached benchmark price increased approximately 5% to $853,200.

Conditions were much softer for townhouses and apartments. The townhouse market had six months of supply, with three sales and 18 available units.

Its detached benchmark price is higher than Signal Hill, Strathcona Park, Cougar Ridge, Coach Hill, Wildwood, and Glamorgan, but below Springbank Hill, Christie Park, Discovery Ridge, Aspen Woods, and Patterson.
