If you've been glancing at your city assessment and wondering if it still reflects reality, the short answer is: probably not. Here's the real picture for Oakmont homeowners heading into summer 2026.
We're seeing a clear split in Oakmont right now, and it matters depending on what you own.
Houses are holding strong. The average sale price sits at $741,340, and homes are moving fast - 14 days on market on average, which ranks 2nd out of 17 neighbourhoods in St. Albert for speed. That's not a slow market. That's buyers making decisions quickly. Even better, houses here are selling at 101.47% of list price, meaning sellers are getting more than they're asking. That's a sellers' market doing what a sellers' market is supposed to do.
Condos are taking a breather. The condo side of Oakmont is a different conversation. One sale in the recent period, 76 days on market, and buyers are landing deals at 94.15% of list price. That means if you're listing a condo, you're likely negotiating down. The HonestDoor Price for condos has dropped 9.82% from the previous period - that's a number worth paying attention to, not ignoring.
Here's the thing about city assessments - they're a snapshot from the past. By the time that number lands in your mailbox, the market has already moved. The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time, pulling from actual transaction data and current market signals. It's the number a buyer's agent is going to use when they sit across the table from you.
For house owners in Oakmont, the HonestDoor Price of $710,058 is your real-world check. The predicted market value for houses sits at $716,573, which is ticking up against the 3-month moving average of $715,218. That's a stable, slightly improving picture. Your city assessment isn't telling you that.
For condo owners, the HonestDoor Price drop of 9.82% is exactly the kind of signal you need to see before you price a listing - not after. Waiting for the next assessment cycle to confirm what the market already knows is how sellers leave money on the table, or worse, overprice and sit.
Oakmont also ranks 4th in St. Albert for Airbnb potential on the house side. If you're thinking about short-term rental income, that's a top-tier position in the city.
Let's be straight about where Oakmont sits in the St. Albert rankings right now.
Compared to neighbours, Erin Ridge comes in cheaper on both houses ($649,152) and condos ($315,239). Erin Ridge North runs higher on houses ($844,030). Oakmont sits comfortably in the middle - premium enough to attract serious buyers, not so high that it scares them off.
If you own a house in Oakmont, the case for selling this summer is real. Homes are moving in two weeks, buyers are paying over asking, and your price rank puts you above most of the city. The growth rate isn't setting records, but you don't need record growth when your sale-to-list ratio is already above 100%.
If you own a condo, take a breath and get your numbers right before you list. The market is slower, buyers have leverage, and the HonestDoor Price has pulled back nearly 10%. That doesn't mean don't sell - it means price it honestly from day one. Sitting on the market for 76 days costs you more than a sharp, accurate list price will.
Either way, the first move is checking your HonestDoor Price today - not your last tax notice. The market doesn't wait for the city to catch up, and neither should you.
