Mission, St. Albert - October 2026 Real Estate Report
Mission, St. Albert: Your Neighbour Just Asked What Their House Is Worth - Here's the Real Answer
The Vibe Right Now
If you live in Mission and you've been half-watching the market, here's the honest picture. The neighbourhood is holding its own - not setting the world on fire, but not sliding either. Houses and condos are telling two very different stories right now, so let's break them down.
Houses in Mission - Steady, With a Small Asterisk
The average HonestDoor Price for a house in Mission sits at $462,968, up 2.79% from the previous period. That's real, measurable growth. But here's the asterisk - the 3-month predicted value is tracking at $450,393, which is slightly below the moving average of $460,225. In plain English, the short-term momentum has taken a small breather. We're not in freefall. We're just pausing.
On the leaderboard, Mission houses rank 5 out of 22 neighbourhoods in St. Albert for growth. That puts us solidly in the above-average category. Most of our neighbours would take that ranking without blinking.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Houses): $462,968
- Recent price change: -0.19%
- Estimated monthly rent: $2,302
- Rental yield: 5.73% - that is a strong return for landlords
- Growth rank: 5 out of 22 in St. Albert
That 5.73% rental yield is worth pausing on. For anyone sitting on a house in Mission and wondering whether to rent or sell, that number says the rental math actually works here. You're not just hoping for appreciation - the monthly income holds up on its own.
How does Mission stack up against the neighbours? Downtown is running at $539,773 and Braeside at $515,065. We're priced below both, which means Mission still has room to move upward if those areas keep setting the pace.
Condos in Mission - A Wild Card Worth Watching
The condo story is more complicated - and honestly more interesting. The average HonestDoor Price for condos in Mission is $2,227,149, up 2.67%. The predicted market value is $2,169,255, and that number is actually climbing above the 3-month moving average of $2,099,248. That is a 9.36% recent change. That is not a typo.
On the ground level, the actual sales data tells a calmer story. The average sale price last month was $228,000, with listings sitting at $229,900. Price per square foot is around $281. Buyers paid 99.17% of list price - just a hair under asking. One property sold, and it moved in 13 days. That is a stable, functioning market.
- Average HonestDoor Price (Condos): $2,227,149
- Average sale price: $228,000
- List price: $229,900
- Price per square foot: $281
- Days on market: 13
- Sale-to-list ratio: 99.17%
- Rental yield: 2.09%
- Growth rank: 12 out of 23 in St. Albert
- Days-on-market rank: 3 out of 13 - condos here sell relatively fast
The condo rental yield of 2.09% is moderate - not a slam dunk for investors, but not a red flag either. The Airbnb rank of 3 out of all St. Albert neighbourhoods is genuinely strong. If short-term rental is part of your plan, Mission condos are near the top of the city for that potential.
Compared to nearby condos, Downtown is averaging $388,892 and Braeside $353,400. Mission condos are priced well above both. That gap is something sellers should know going in.
The Secret Sauce - Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment
Here is the thing about your city assessment - it is a snapshot from months ago, sometimes longer. It does not know what sold on your street last week. It does not adjust for what buyers are actually paying right now in Mission specifically.
The HonestDoor Price updates in real time. It is pulling from current sales data, current listing activity, and what comparable homes are actually closing at - not what a government formula estimated before the market moved. For houses in Mission, that means the difference between $462,968 and whatever your last assessment said could be thousands of dollars in either direction. That gap is your real-world check. It is the number a buyer's agent is going to work from when they sit across the table from you.
Check your HonestDoor Price before you price your home, before you refinance, and before you assume your assessment is close enough. It usually is not.
The So What - Should You Sell in Mission This Summer?
For house sellers, the timing is reasonable. You are ranked 5th in the city for growth, rental demand is real at $2,302 a month, and you are priced below Downtown and Braeside - which means buyers priced out of those areas are going to look at Mission next. That is a natural funnel in your favour.
The slight dip in the 3-month predicted value is worth watching, but it is not a reason to panic-list. If you were already planning to sell this summer, the fundamentals support moving forward. If you were on the fence, keep an eye on whether that short-term trend reverses over the next 30 days.
For condo sellers, the market is thinner - one sale last month is a small sample - but properties are moving in 13 days and buyers are paying close to full ask. That is not a bad position to be in. Just go in with realistic pricing. The sale-to-list ratio of 99.17% means buyers are doing their homework and they are not overpaying.
Bottom line for Mission homeowners: the market is not screaming, but it is not whispering bad news either. Get your HonestDoor Price, know where you stand on the leaderboard, and make the call with real numbers - not last year's assessment.
