If you're looking at Glencairn right now, you're probably noticing something: it's one of those neighbourhoods where prices make sense, and homes don't sit around forever. The numbers I'm seeing put the median new listing price around $305,000, with active listings hovering closer to $296,000. That's solidly mid-range for Regina—Glencairn ranks 62nd out of 119 neighbourhoods for price—but what you're really getting is an established community that's been here since the mid-1960s, with tree-lined streets, actual parks your kids will use, and bungalows that don't need you to take out a second mortgage.
The market here isn't flashy. It's steady. Homes are moving in about 30 days, which tells me buyers aren't hesitating when they find what they want. And with Regina's overall market sitting at 2.88 months of supply, Glencairn is right in that seller-friendly zone where good homes get attention quickly. Let's break down what you need to know about prices, trends, and what your money actually gets you here in 2026.
What Homes Cost Right Now
The average home price in Glencairn is sitting at $300,750 according to HonestDoor's latest data, and that's up about 1% from last month. When I look at what's actively listed right now, I'm seeing a range that starts at $125,000 for a condo and stretches up to $400,000 for a four-bedroom house. But here's the thing—most of what you'll find falls somewhere between $237,000 and $350,000, and that's predominantly bungalows.
About 75% of the housing stock here is bungalows, with the rest being bi-levels and split-levels. The average house size is around 1,000 square feet, and you're paying roughly $248 per square foot when a home sells. That's important because it means you're not paying the premium you'd see in newer developments or trendier pockets of the city. You're getting established construction, mature trees, and a neighbourhood that's already figured out what it is.
If you're comparing Glencairn to the rest of East Regina, you'll notice it's more affordable than some of the newer builds in places like Spruce Meadows, but it's got more character and green space than you'd find in some of the industrial-adjacent areas. The median active listing at $296,000 is below Regina's citywide average of $346,000, which gives you some breathing room if you're working with a tighter budget.
How Prices Have Changed
Regina's overall market is up about 6% from 2024, with the benchmark price at $335,100—that's a 4.4% year-over-year increase. Glencairn's been climbing too, though not at a pace that feels out of control. That 1% month-over-month bump I mentioned earlier is pretty typical for established neighbourhoods that aren't seeing massive redevelopment or sudden shifts in demand.
What I've noticed over the past year is that Glencairn's held steady while some of the outer-edge neighbourhoods have seen more volatility. When the market's hot, people look for value, and Glencairn delivers that without feeling like a compromise. You're not buying a fixer-upper in the middle of nowhere—you're buying into a neighbourhood that's walkable, has amenities, and doesn't require you to drive 20 minutes to get groceries.
The forecast for Regina in 2026 is a modest 2% price increase, and I'd expect Glencairn to track pretty close to that. It's not the kind of place where prices spike suddenly, but it's also not losing value. If you bought here five years ago, you've seen appreciation. If you buy now, you're probably going to see the same slow, steady climb. That's not sexy, but it's reliable, and reliability matters when you're talking about the biggest purchase most people make.
One thing worth noting: the rental market here is strong too. Average rental estimates are sitting at $1,613 a month, which means if you're buying as an investment, the numbers can work. But honestly, most people buying in Glencairn are planning to live here, not flip it.
How Fast Homes Sell Here
The median days on market in Glencairn right now is 30 days. That's right in line with Regina's citywide average of 29 to 32 days, which tells me this neighbourhood moves at the same pace as the rest of the city—maybe a touch slower if the home's overpriced, but not by much.
What that means for you as a buyer is that you can't afford to wait three weeks to make a decision. If you see something you like, you need to move. I've had clients lose out on homes here because they wanted to sleep on it for a week, and by the time they circled back, someone else had already put in an offer. With only six active listings right now, inventory's tight, and buyers are paying attention.
For sellers, it's good news. You're not going to list your home and watch it sit for months. If it's priced right and shows well, you'll see activity within the first couple of weeks. But "priced right" is the key phrase there—if you're trying to squeeze an extra $50,000 out of a 1,000-square-foot bungalow, you'll sit. The market here rewards realism.
What You Get at Different Price Points
Let's talk about what your money actually buys you in Glencairn, because the range is wider than you might think.
At the lower end—around $125,000 to $150,000—you're looking at condos or smaller units. These aren't common in Glencairn since it's predominantly single-family homes, but if you find one, it's usually a solid starter option or a downsize for someone who doesn't need the yard anymore.
In the $237,000 to $290,000 range, you're getting three-bedroom bungalows that need a bit of updating but are move-in ready. These are the homes that attract first-time buyers or young families who want space without the brand-new price tag. You'll probably need to update the kitchen or bathrooms at some point, but the bones are solid, and you're not dealing with major structural issues.
Between $305,000 and $350,000, you're looking at well-maintained three-bedroom homes with updated kitchens, newer windows, and finished basements. Some of these have been renovated in the last 10 years, and they show like it. This is the sweet spot for families who want move-in ready but don't want to pay the premium for new construction.
At the top end—$350,000 to $400,000—you're getting four-bedroom homes with more square footage, better finishes, and sometimes double garages. These are the homes that have been lovingly maintained or recently renovated, and they're priced to reflect that. You're still paying less than you would for a comparable home in Gardiner Heights, but you're getting similar quality.
Is It a Buyer's or Seller's Market?
Right now, it's a seller's market in Regina, and Glencairn's no exception. With 2.88 months of supply citywide and only six active listings in Glencairn, sellers have the advantage. Homes that are priced fairly and show well are getting offers quickly, and in some cases, buyers are competing.
That doesn't mean sellers can name their price and expect buyers to line up—overpriced homes still sit, and buyers here are savvy. They know what a bungalow should cost, and they're not going to overpay just because inventory's tight. But if you're selling and you work with someone who knows how to price and market your home, you're in a good position.
For buyers, it's a bit tougher. You need to be ready to move when you find the right home, and you need to be realistic about what you can get for your budget. If you're hoping to find a fully renovated four-bedroom bungalow for $250,000, you're going to be disappointed. But if you're willing to do some updates yourself, or if you're flexible on finishes, there's value here.
What to Know Before You Buy or Sell Here
If you're buying in Glencairn, understand that you're buying into an established neighbourhood. The infrastructure's mature, the schools are settled, and the community's been here for decades. That's a good thing, but it also means you're not getting cutting-edge architecture or the latest design trends. You're getting solid, functional homes that have stood the test of time.
If you're selling, price matters more than anything. Buyers here know the market, and they're comparing your home to everything else that's listed. Get a proper valuation, make sure your home shows well, and don't get greedy. The homes that sell quickly are the ones that are priced right from day one.
