Rutherford, Edmonton - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Rutherford Real Talk: Your Neighbour's Guide to What's Actually Happening Right Now

The Vibe on the Street

If you've been watching the "For Sale" signs in Rutherford lately, here's the honest version of what's going on. The neighbourhood is big - 2,597 houses and 1,726 condos assessed this year - and it's active. With 107 house transactions and 79 condo transactions already logged in 2026, Rutherford is one of Edmonton's busiest neighbourhoods for deals. That total transaction rank of 13th in Edmonton for houses? That's not a quiet suburb. That's a neighbourhood people are actually moving in and out of.

The Vibe: Houses vs. Condos - Two Very Different Stories

Houses - Taking a Breather

Let's be straight with each other. The house market in Rutherford is cooling off. The average sale price sits at $443,923 this month, which is down 10.4% from last month. Listings are averaging $452,600, and buyers are landing deals at about 97.64% of list price - meaning sellers are giving a little ground. Properties are sitting for an average of 55 days before selling, which is not a panic situation, but it's not a frenzy either.

• Average sale price: $443,923 (down 10.4% from last month)
• Average list price: $452,600
• Price per square foot: $330
• Sold-to-list ratio: 97.64%
• Days on market: 55 days
• Properties sold this month: 13 (up 44.4% from last month)
• Predicted market value: $522,632
• Estimated monthly rent: $2,602
• Rental yield: 5.59%
• Growth rank: 199 out of 291 neighbourhoods in Edmonton

That growth rank of 199 out of 291 puts Rutherford houses in the below-average tier on Edmonton's neighbourhood leaderboard right now. It's not the bottom, but it's not climbing fast either. The predicted market value of $522,632 is actually higher than current sale prices, which tells us the market hasn't fully caught up to where values should be sitting. For investors, that 5.59% rental yield is genuinely solid - that's not a number you throw away.

Condos - A Different Conversation

Condos are telling a more interesting story. The average sale price jumped to $303,429 this month - up 23.2% from last month. Yes, that's a big swing, and yes, it's worth watching to see if it holds. Seven condos sold this month, up 40% from last month, and they're also sitting about 55 days on market. Buyers are still paying below list at 97.89%, so it's not a seller's stampede, but the direction is clearly upward.

• Average sale price: $303,429 (up 23.2% from last month)
• Average list price: $329,900
• Price per square foot: $255
• Sold-to-list ratio: 97.89%
• Days on market: 55 days
• Properties sold this month: 7 (up 40.0% from last month)
• Predicted market value: $240,786
• Estimated monthly rent: $1,299
• Rental yield: 4.26%
• Growth rank: 128 out of 302 neighbourhoods in Edmonton

On the neighbourhood leaderboard, Rutherford condos rank 128 out of 302 - that's above average in Edmonton. The price rank of 75 out of 216 puts us in the upper tier for condo pricing in the city. Compared to nearby Callaghan, our condos are a bit cheaper. Compared to Blackmud Creek, we're priced higher. We sit in a comfortable middle ground in the south Edmonton condo market.

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Assessment Right Now

Here's the thing about your city assessment. It's a snapshot from months ago, built on data that's already old by the time it lands in your mailbox. The average assessed value for a Rutherford house is $516,730. Sounds decent, right? But the average HonestDoor Price - which updates in real time using actual market signals - is $510,204. That's 1.26% lower than the assessed value. For a house in this price range, that gap is roughly $6,500. That's real money if you're making decisions based on a number that's already out of date.

For condos, the assessed average is $245,755. The HonestDoor Price is $240,312 - about 2.21% lower. The city's number is looking backwards. The HonestDoor Price is looking at what's actually happening on the street right now. If you're thinking about selling, refinancing, or just want to know what your place is genuinely worth today, the HonestDoor Price is the real-world check you need before you make any moves.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

If you own a house in Rutherford and you're thinking about listing this summer, here's the honest take. The market is softer than it was. Prices are down from last month, buyers are negotiating, and homes are sitting for nearly two months before selling. That doesn't mean you shouldn't sell - it means you need to price it right from day one. Overpricing right now is a fast way to sit on the market and eventually drop your price anyway.

The predicted market value of $522,632 is higher than recent sale prices of $443,923, which suggests there's a gap between what the data says homes are worth and what buyers are actually paying right now. Sellers who price close to that $443,000-$452,000 range are the ones getting deals done in 55 days. Sellers who chase the higher number are the ones still waiting.

If you own a condo and you're thinking about selling, the timing looks more interesting. Prices jumped this month, sales volume is up, and the neighbourhood leaderboard has us ranked above average in Edmonton for condo growth. That's a better window than house sellers are looking at right now. The rental estimate of $1,299 per month also means holding it as an investment is a real option if the sale price doesn't hit your number.

Either way - house or condo - check your HonestDoor Price before you do anything else. It's free, it's current, and it's a much better starting point than waiting for next year's assessment to tell you what your home was worth six months ago.
