Sherwood Park New  MLS® Listings

🆕 New Listings – Seller Confidence on the Rise

With 61 new listings hitting the market in December, Sherwood Park experienced a 17.31% increase compared to December 2024. This growth in inventory, especially during the holiday season, indicates that homeowners are optimistic about market conditions and looking to capitalize on strong buyer demand.

This is a good sign for buyers as well—more listings mean increased options, particularly heading into the typically more active spring market.

Average Asking Price

💰 Average Asking Price – Steady Increase in Value

The average asking price in Sherwood Park was $528,000, representing a 9.09% year-over-year increase. Sellers are clearly pricing with confidence, supported by recent sales trends and price growth in surrounding communities.

This uptick in list price suggests that homes with premium features, updated interiors, and desirable locations are commanding stronger list prices, further pushing the market upward.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity – Strong Finish to the Year

In December 2025, Sherwood Park recorded 41 sales, a notable 28.13% increase compared to the same time last year. While it’s expected for sales to slow in the winter months, this upswing signals renewed buyer confidence, especially given the tighter inventory observed throughout the fall.

This marks the third month in a row with year-over-year gains in sold properties, suggesting momentum may carry into Q1 of 2026.

Average Sale Price

🏷️ Sold Price – Solid Close at $518,000

The average sale price for a home in Sherwood Park in December 2025 reached $518,000, a 9.98% increase over December 2024. This continues a trend of strong price performance in the second half of the year and reflects healthy demand.

Homes are not only selling faster than last year but also closer to their asking price, indicating a market that’s efficiently priced and attractive to serious buyers.

📈 List-to-Sale Price Ratio – Nearly Full Price

The list-to-sale price ratio in December was 98%, meaning most homes sold within 2% of their asking price. This is a subtle but meaningful improvement over last year’s 97% ratio, and reflects the minimal room for negotiation in Sherwood Park’s desirable neighbourhoods.

Sellers who price realistically and work with experienced REALTORS® are being rewarded with strong final sale prices, often after minimal time on the market.

Average Days on Market

⏳ Days on Market – Homes Selling Faster

The average Days on Market (DOM) dropped to 48 days, down from 56 a year ago—a 14.29% improvement. This shorter selling window signals that well-prepared, competitively priced homes are being snapped up more quickly, especially when staged effectively and marketed aggressively.

As inventory remains below long-term averages, buyers continue to act quickly on properties that offer great value.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2025 vs. 2024)

Sherwood Park wrapped up 2025 with notable gains across all key metrics. Year-over-year increases in sales volume and pricing reflect a healthy and appreciating suburban market, ideal for both move-up buyers and long-term investors.

🔮 Forecast for 2026 – Balanced Growth Ahead

As we step into the new year, the Sherwood Park market is poised for continued strength, with balanced conditions expected through the spring. Interest rates are expected to remain relatively stable, and migration into the Edmonton Region continues to support local housing demand.

We may see an early start to the spring market, especially with rising rental rates pushing tenants toward ownership. Watch for more first-time buyer activity, upsizers, and interprovincial relocations in the coming months.
