Beaumont vs Summerside: New-Build City vs Lake Community, Priced Out

Beaumont and Summerside sit side by side on Edmonton's southeast edge — and buyers cross-shop them constantly: a small, fast-growing city of new builds against the lake community inside Edmonton's boundary. Beaumont is the pricier house market: a $559,950 single-family median against Summerside's $504,750. But the condo medians are a dead heat — $292,500 in Beaumont vs $292,000 in Summerside, five hundred dollars apart. Both markets cooled slightly this year (single-family medians down 1.8% in each), and Summerside houses sell a week faster. All figures: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026.

The head-to-head

Houses: Beaumont's new-build premium

Beaumont is almost purely a house market — 324 of its 345 sales were single-family — and it prices like the newer city it is: a $559,950 median, $55,200 above Summerside's $504,750. The per-square-foot view flips, though: Summerside houses cost more per foot ($299 vs $283), which says Summerside's median home is smaller — the lake-community premium is in the location, not the square footage. Beaumont's range runs higher at both ends ($335,000 entry to a $1,248,000 top sale). Both medians eased 1.8% this year — an identical, gentle cooling, not a slide in either place.

Condos: a $500 dead heat

The surprise of this pair: the condo medians are effectively tied — $292,500 in Beaumont, $292,000 in Summerside. The markets underneath are different sizes (Summerside sold 61 condos to Beaumont's 21) and different shapes: Summerside's condo range runs $150,000–$335,000, so its stock is mostly townhomes with a hard ceiling, while Beaumont's few condos are newer product clustered at $270,000–$374,000. If you're condo-shopping on the southeast side, price alone won't separate these two — stock and setting will.

Pace: Summerside moves faster

Summerside houses sold in a 27-day median against Beaumont's 35 — and Summerside did it while its sales volume dropped 17.0%, so the homes that listed, moved. Beaumont was the steadier market by volume (down just 4.4%) but slower per sale. Negotiation room is thin in both: 98.5% of asking in Summerside, 98.3% in Beaumont. Neither is a fire sale; both are orderly markets where pricing right matters more than waiting.

Which one fits you

Choose Beaumont if you want the newest housing stock on the southeast side, a small-city feel with its own schools and services, and a bigger, newer house for the budget — accepting a slightly higher median and a slightly slower resale pace.

Choose Summerside if the lake is the point — beach, skating and the amenity building — inside Edmonton city limits, with houses that resell a week faster and a deeper condo bench at the same median price.

How these numbers were worked out

Source: Paragon MLS® sold data, November 9, 2025 – November 8, 2026, with the prior-year window November 9, 2024 – November 8, 2025 for the change figures. Beaumont's figures are counted from a Paragon city search covering every MLS® community label in that city — the city is counted as a whole, never by summing a partial list of neighbourhoods. Summerside is a single MLS® community inside Edmonton, counted on its own label. Counts include single-family and condo property classes only. Medians are true medians of the actual sold records. Any split with fewer than 10 sales shows its count only (the thin rule). Price per square foot is Paragon's sold-price-per-square-foot field (sold price ÷ total floor area as recorded in the MLS®). Sold vs asking divides the sold price by the final list price. Full methodology: Edmonton Housing Data Centre.
