Months of supply answers one question: if nothing new came on the market, how long would it take to sell everything that is already listed? In June there were 368 homes for sale and 145 sales, which works out to 2.54 months.
A year ago that number was 34.8% higher. Less supply against more sales is what puts a seller in a stronger position and gives a buyer less room to wait.
The band boundaries on this scale are an interpretive guide used to make the number readable, not a figure the board publishes. The June 2026 Fort McMurray release does not describe the market as a seller's, balanced or buyer's market in its own words, and no such characterization is being attributed to it here.
Not every home moved the same way
June 2026 by property type
Percentages are year over year, as printed by the board. This is a breakdown by type of home, not by neighbourhood — the release does not break Fort McMurray into areas.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 94 ▲ up 27% | 137 ▲ up 15% | 247 ▼ down 19% | 2.63 ▼ down 36% | $483,784 ▲ up 3% |

The board prints two sets of percentages for the same month: rounded whole numbers in this table, and one decimal place in its summary. Where they differ slightly, both are the board's own figures and neither has been adjusted here.
Reading the month
What this means for you
If you're buying
- There were 368 homes for sale at the end of June, 20.5% fewer than a year ago. Fewer options means less time to think it over.
- At 2.54 months of supply, a well-priced home does not sit and wait for you.
- 73 homes sold for every 100 newly listed. Roughly two of every three new listings found a buyer.
- Row housing is the one segment where price moved your way: an average of $214,827, down 13%, with new listings up 47%. More choice, softer pricing.
- Apartments averaged $139,100, up 6%, with only 66 in inventory and 2.36 months of supply. The lowest entry price in the market is also getting tighter.
- The total residential average was $384,482, up 3.9%. Budgets set on last year's numbers need revisiting.
If you're selling
- 145 homes sold in June, up 21.8% year over year. Buyers are active, not waiting.
- You are competing against 368 listings rather than the larger pool of a year ago, and months of supply is down 34.8%.
- New listings rose 11% to 198. Supply is still tight, but more sellers are coming to market than last June.
- Semi-detached is the tightest segment on the board: only 7 new listings, 13 in inventory, and 1.63 months of supply, down 69%.
- Detached averaged $483,784, up 3%, with inventory down 19% and 2.63 months of supply.
- If you own a row home, price to the current data, not to last year: the average is down 13% and new listings are up 47%.
In my words
My read on this month
June was the month the squeeze showed up in the numbers. Sales climbed almost 22 percent over last June while inventory fell more than 20 percent, so buyers are competing over a noticeably smaller pool of homes than they were a year ago.
Detached and apartment prices held their ground and row housing gave a little back, but at 2.54 months of supply this is still a market that rewards a seller who prices and prepares properly.
