These trends reflect a competitive yet stable market where well-priced homes continue to sell efficiently and for good value.

This blog breaks down the latest sales data, pricing trends, and inventory shifts—and offers guidance for buyers and sellers navigating today’s conditions in Sherwood Park.

Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

📦 New Listings – Inventory Rebounds Slightly

There were 162 new listings in September, a 9.46% increase from last year. This uptick in new supply offers buyers more options and could lead to increased activity into October.

Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has seen 1,446 new listings, nearly identical to 2024 levels. The balance between new listings and sales suggests that inventory is relatively stable—neither dramatically expanding nor contracting.

Average Asking Price

🏷️ Asking Prices – Sellers Stay Optimistic

The average asking price in September 2025 reached $542,000, a 1.80% increase over the previous September. Year-to-date, the average asking price is up 6.44%, from $493,000 in 2024 to $524,000 in 2025.

These numbers highlight that sellers remain confident in the market and are pricing their homes accordingly. However, the gap between asking and sale prices this month resulted in a slight dip in the ask-to-sell ratio, suggesting some buyers are negotiating more assertively in this seasonally slower period.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Volume – Slowing but Stable

September saw 126 homes sold in Sherwood Park, a slight 1.56% decrease compared to the 128 properties sold in September 2024. Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has recorded 1,123 sales, which is a 5.63% decline from the same period last year.

This trend suggests that while the market has cooled slightly from its peak, activity remains stable. The moderate decrease in volume is likely tied to affordability challenges as prices climb, combined with seasonal slowing heading into fall.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sold Price – Holding Strong at $519,000

In September 2025, the average sale price for a home in Sherwood Park reached $519,000, representing a 6.64% increase compared to the same month last year. This upward trend highlights the community’s continued value appreciation despite a modest dip in overall sales volume. The consistency in pricing reflects a market where buyers remain confident and willing to pay a premium for well-maintained properties in desirable neighbourhoods. Year-to-date, the average sale price sits at $511,000, marking a robust 7.82% increase over 2024. These figures point to healthy long-term growth and reaffirm Sherwood Park’s position as a stable and appreciating suburban market within the Greater Edmonton Area.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – A Slight Cooldown

The ask-to-sell ratio for September 2025 was 0.994, just slightly below the 1.0 threshold, and a 0.11% decline from September 2024. This means homes, on average, sold just below their list price this month.

Despite the small dip, the year-to-date ratio remains at 1.009, meaning most homes continue to sell at or above list price across 2025—a testament to a competitive market environment.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market – Still Faster Than Last Year

In September 2025, homes sold in an average of 37 days, compared to 38 days in September 2024. Year-to-date, the average days on market sits at just 30 days, a 25% improvement from the 40-day average in 2024.

This is a strong indicator that well-priced homes are still moving quickly, even as overall sales volume dips.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (Jan–Sep 2025 vs 2024)

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

• More Inventory: With new listings rising, buyers may find more choices than they did in the spring and summer.
• Prices Are Still Climbing: Buying sooner rather than later may help you secure a home before further increases.
• Negotiating Power May Improve: The small dip in the ask-to-sell ratio suggests room for buyer negotiations—especially on homes that have sat longer.
• Act Fast: Even though days on market have edged up slightly from the summer, homes are still moving quickly.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

• Strong Pricing Environment: With a 6.64% jump in sale prices this September, sellers can still expect solid returns.
• More Competition Coming: The rise in listings means staging, pricing, and marketing are more important than ever.
• Faster Sales Still Possible: Homes are moving in about a month—well-staged, well-priced homes may move even faster.
• Seasonal Timing Matters: Listing now lets you tap into motivated fall buyers before the slower winter months.

📍 Top Neighbourhoods to Watch

Several Sherwood Park neighbourhoods continue to outperform:

• Emerald Hills: Known for newer homes, shopping access, and proximity to Highway 21.
• Lakeland Ridge: A family-friendly favourite with schools, trails, and newer construction.
• Heritage Hills: Mature lots and quiet streets appeal to move-up buyers.
• Summerwood: Affordable, accessible, and appealing to first-time buyers and downsizers alike.

🔮 What’s Ahead for Q4 2025?

With September numbers now in, the final quarter of 2025 is shaping up to be stable but competitive. Prices are likely to hold, if not grow slightly, heading into the fall, with sales volume tapering off seasonally.

Affordability pressures from rising prices may keep some buyers on the sidelines, but motivated buyers and low inventory will likely continue to support a seller-leaning market.
