Sherwood Park Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

Sales and Prices Continue Climbing as Spring Market Gains Strength

The Sherwood Park real estate market continued to gain momentum throughout April 2026, with rising sales activity, increasing home prices, and a significant jump in new listings. As the spring market continues to unfold, Sherwood Park remains one of the most desirable communities in the Edmonton region thanks to its excellent schools, family-friendly atmosphere, mature neighbourhoods, and convenient access to Edmonton.

April’s market data shows a healthy balance between buyer demand and growing inventory levels, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers as we head deeper into the busy spring season.

In this month’s update, we’ll break down the latest Sherwood Park housing statistics, explore what the numbers mean for the market, and provide insight into what buyers and sellers can expect moving forward.

📊 Key Sherwood Park Real Estate Statistics – April 2026

🏗️ New Construction Market Update – Sherwood Park April 2026

Sherwood Park’s new construction market remained active in April 2026, with a total of 18 newly built homes sold, compared to 12 sales during the same period in 2025. This represents a 50% increase in new construction sales activity year-over-year, highlighting continued buyer demand for modern homes, energy-efficient features, and quick possession opportunities.

The average sale price for new construction homes in April 2026 was $487,201, slightly lower than the $565,857 average recorded in April 2025. While prices softened year-over-year, this appears to reflect a larger concentration of entry-level and mid-range product entering the market rather than weakness in demand. The median sale price came in at $473,400, compared to $476,739 last year, showing relatively stable pricing in the core market segment.

Builders continued to see strong absorption rates, with new homes averaging 53 days on market, improving significantly from the 66-day average in April 2025. This reduction in market time suggests buyers remain highly active in the new construction segment, particularly for competitively priced inventory.

📦 Inventory Levels Surge Heading Into Spring

One of the largest shifts in April’s market was inventory growth.

Sherwood Park saw 199 new listings hit the market, representing a massive 28.39% increase compared to April 2025. This significant rise in inventory is helping create more balance in the market.

Year-to-date, there have been 596 new listings, up 10.99% from last year.

This increase provides buyers with:

• More selection
• Reduced urgency
• More opportunity to compare properties

At the same time, sellers are facing more competition, meaning pricing and presentation have become increasingly important.

Average Asking Price

🏷️ Sellers Continue Pricing Aggressively

The average asking price in April was $524,000, which is 4.48% higher than April 2025. Year-to-date, asking prices have averaged $528,000, up 4.17% over last year.

This suggests sellers remain highly confident in market conditions and are continuing to price homes competitively.

However, the slight decrease in the ask-to-sell ratio indicates that buyers are still negotiating strategically, especially as more inventory becomes available.

Sherwood Park Home Sales

🏠 Sales Activity Continues to Improve

Sherwood Park recorded 156 sold properties in April 2026, representing a 6.85% increase compared to April 2025. This marks another strong month for the local housing market and reinforces the ongoing demand for homes in the community.

Year-to-date, Sherwood Park has recorded 429 home sales, a 1.66% increase over the same period last year. While the growth is modest, it shows the market remains stable despite affordability pressures and changing interest rate conditions.

The increase in sales activity throughout April is typical for the spring market, as buyers become more active and inventory levels improve.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Price Climbs to $522,000

One of the biggest stories in Sherwood Park’s April market is the continued increase in property values.

The average sale price reached $522,000, representing a 7.71% increase year-over-year. This is a significant jump and highlights the ongoing strength of the market despite more inventory entering the market.

Year-to-date, the average sale price now sits at $519,000, up 3.74% compared to 2025.

The pricing trend shown in the monthly sales price chart on the report demonstrates relatively consistent upward movement over the past year, with only minor seasonal fluctuations. This reflects Sherwood Park’s reputation as a stable and appreciating suburban market.

For homeowners, these numbers continue to support long-term confidence in property values.

📉 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Slightly Softens

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April was 1.007, slightly lower than the 1.015 recorded in April 2025.

This means homes are still selling slightly above asking price on average, but not as aggressively as during the strongest seller-market conditions.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 1.002, indicating a market that remains very healthy but more balanced than last year.

For buyers, this can create opportunities to negotiate on condition terms or pricing—especially on homes that have been on the market longer.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Remain Stable

Homes in Sherwood Park took an average of 29 days to sell in April, unchanged from the same month last year.

While year-to-date days on market are slightly higher at 38 days, compared to 34 days in 2025, homes are still selling relatively quickly overall.

This stability suggests:

• Buyer demand remains healthy
• Properly priced homes continue moving efficiently
• Increased listings are balancing absorption rates

For sellers, this means that homes priced accurately and marketed effectively are still achieving strong results.

📅 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

🧠 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers, Sherwood Park’s April market offers both opportunity and competition.

Positive signs for buyers include:

• More inventory entering the market
• Slightly softer negotiating conditions
• More balanced competition levels

However:

• Prices are still increasing
• Well-priced homes are still selling quickly
• Desirable neighbourhoods remain competitive

Buyers should still be pre-approved and prepared to act quickly when the right home becomes available.

💡 What This Means for Sellers

Sellers continue to benefit from:

• Rising home prices
• Healthy buyer demand
• Strong sale-to-list ratios

However, increased inventory means:

• Accurate pricing is essential
• Presentation matters more than ever
• Homes face more competition than earlier in the year

Professional marketing, photography, and strategic pricing are becoming increasingly important as the market balances.

📍 Popular Sherwood Park Neighbourhoods

Some of the most active and desirable areas continue to include:

• Lakeland Ridge – Popular for families and schools
• Emerald Hills – Newer homes with excellent amenities
• Summerwood – Attractive for first-time buyers and commuters
• Heritage Hills – Mature neighbourhood appeal and larger lots

These communities continue to attract strong buyer demand due to lifestyle and location advantages.

🔮 Sherwood Park Market Outlook – Spring & Summer 2026

April confirms that the spring market is fully underway.

Key trends to watch moving forward:

• Continued inventory growth
• Moderate but steady price appreciation
• More balanced conditions between buyers and sellers
• Increased activity as we head into summer

If inventory continues rising at a faster pace than sales, Sherwood Park may continue moving toward a more balanced market environment.

However, if demand remains strong and inventory tightens later in the summer, price growth could accelerate again.

📞 Thinking About Buying or Selling in Sherwood Park?

Understanding market timing and pricing strategy is essential in today’s changing market.

Whether you’re:

• Buying your first home
• Moving up
• Downsizing
• Investing
• Selling this spring or summer

Having a strong strategy can make a major difference.

Rural Sturgeon County Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

The Rural Sturgeon County acreage market continued to show resilience throughout April 2026, with strong year-to-date sales growth, stable pricing, and improving market efficiency. While monthly activity softened slightly compared to April 2025, the broader trend across the first four months of the year points toward a healthy and active acreage market heading into the peak spring and summer season.

Located just north of Edmonton, Rural Sturgeon County remains one of Alberta’s most desirable acreage destinations, offering buyers a combination of luxury estate homes, hobby farms, private treed parcels, and country residential living with convenient access to the city.

Here’s a full breakdown of the April 2026 market statistics and what they mean for buyers and sellers.

Rural Sturgeon County New  MLS® Listings

🏷️ New Listings – Inventory Remains Tight

There were 35 new listings in April, representing a small 2.78% decrease from April 2025.

Year-to-Date New Listings

This continues one of the biggest trends we’ve seen in Rural Sturgeon County throughout 2026: inventory remains lower than last year.

Why This Matters

Lower inventory levels create:

• Less competition among sellers
• More pressure on buyers
• Greater importance on strategic pricing

As we move deeper into the spring market, inventory shortages could continue supporting acreage values.

Average List Price

💰 Average Asking Price – Sellers Remain Confident

The average asking price increased to $1.23 million, an 8.90% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-Date Asking Price

This indicates sellers remain highly confident in the value of acreage properties throughout Rural Sturgeon County.

Contributing Factors

The higher average list prices are likely being influenced by:

• More luxury acreage inventory
• Larger estate homes
• Premium land parcels
• Rising replacement and construction costs

Rural Sturgeon County Home Sales

📈 Sold Properties – Strong Year-to-Date Growth Continues

April 2026 saw 18 acreage properties sell, a slight 5.26% decrease compared to April 2025.

However, when looking at the broader market trend, sales activity remains significantly ahead of last year.

Year-to-Date Sales Comparison

This tells us that buyer demand across Rural Sturgeon County has remained active throughout the first four months of the year, despite ongoing economic uncertainty and fluctuating borrowing costs.

What This Means

• Buyers continue to prioritize acreage living and rural properties.
• Inventory remains limited enough to support ongoing sales activity.
• Well-priced homes are still attracting attention quickly.

Average Sale Price

💵 Average Sale Price – Stable Despite Monthly Dip

The average sale price for April was $852,000, down 3.50% from April 2025.

Year-to-Date Sale Price

Although prices dipped slightly, the market remains remarkably stable overall.

Important Context

In acreage markets, average sale prices can fluctuate significantly due to:

• Small sample sizes
• Differences in property type
• Luxury home sales skewing averages

The small year-to-date decline does not suggest a weakening market — rather, it reflects changing sales mix.

📊 Ask-to-Sell Ratio – Strong Seller Position

The average ask-to-sell ratio climbed to 98.3%, showing sellers are receiving very close to their asking prices.

Year-to-Date Ask-to-Sell Ratio

This shows that overall, acreage homes are still selling slightly faster than they were last year.

What Sellers Should Know

Lac Ste. Anne County Real Estate Market Update: April 2026 Statistics

The Lac Ste. Anne County real estate market continued to show encouraging signs of strength in April 2026, particularly when it comes to pricing, days on market, and seller performance. While the number of sales and new listings remained below 2025 levels, rising sale prices and stronger ask-to-sell ratios indicate that buyers are still highly motivated when the right properties come to market.

As acreage and rural property demand continues across Alberta, Lac Ste. Anne remains a desirable option for buyers looking for more space, recreational opportunities, and affordable alternatives within commuting distance of Edmonton.

Let’s take a closer look at how the market performed in April 2026.

📊 April 2026 Market Snapshot

Interactive bar graphs

Lac Ste Anne New  MLS® Listings

🏷️ Inventory Levels Continue to Tighten

Inventory remains one of the most important stories shaping the 2026 market.

In April 2026:

• 47 new listings came to market
• ↓ 17.54% compared to April 2025

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD listings: 145
• 2025 YTD listings: 192
• Change: ↓ 24.48%

This significant drop in inventory is helping support rising prices and faster-moving listings.

If inventory remains limited through spring and summer, competition among buyers could continue intensifying.

Average List Price

📈 Sellers Continue Pricing Higher

The average asking price in April 2026 was $481,000, representing an 11.12% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-date asking prices have also continued climbing:

• 2026 YTD asking price: $516,000
• 2025 YTD asking price: $477,000
• Change: ↑ 8.14%

Sellers clearly remain confident in the Lac Ste. Anne market heading into the peak spring and summer seasons.

Lac Ste Anne Home Sales

📉 Sales Activity Remains Below 2025 Levels

In April 2026, 25 properties sold in Lac Ste. Anne County, which represents a 16.67% decrease compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD sales: 75 properties
• 2025 YTD sales: 89 properties
• Change: ↓ 15.73%

Although sales activity is still trailing last year, this does not necessarily indicate a weak market. A major factor impacting activity is the continued shortage of inventory entering the market.

The spring market is still active — there are simply fewer properties available for buyers to purchase.

Average Sale Price

💰 Average Sale Prices Continue to Rise

One of the strongest indicators in April’s report is the continued increase in sale prices.

The average sale price in April 2026 climbed to $488,000, which is a 20.71% increase compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD average sale price: $497,000
• 2025 YTD average sale price: $467,000
• Change: ↑ 6.45%

This is a very positive sign for sellers and highlights continued buyer demand for acreages, country homes, and rural properties in the area.

Higher prices combined with lower inventory typically indicate a more competitive environment for buyers.

🤝 Ask-to-Sell Ratio Improves Again

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April 2026 reached 97.9%, which is a 1.16% improvement compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD ask-to-sell ratio: 98.0%
• 2025 YTD ask-to-sell ratio: 96.7%
• Change: ↑ 1.32%

This means buyers are paying much closer to asking price than they were a year ago.

Combined with lower inventory and faster sales, this is another strong indicator of a tightening market.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Homes Are Selling Much Faster

One of the most encouraging statistics for sellers is the continued improvement in days on market.

The average days on market in April 2026 was just 48 days, which is a 20.00% decrease compared to April 2025.

Year-to-date:

• 2026 YTD DOM: 95 days
• 2025 YTD DOM: 129 days
• Change: ↓ 26.36%

This shows that well-priced properties are moving considerably faster than last year.

For buyers, this means preparation and quick decision-making are becoming increasingly important.

📈 Year-to-Date Comparison (2026 vs 2025)

(Statistics sourced from the April 2026 Lac Ste. Anne Local Market Update .)

🔎 What This Means for Buyers

For buyers entering the Lac Ste. Anne acreage market:

• Inventory remains limited
• Homes are selling faster
• Buyers are paying closer to asking price
• Prices continue rising year-over-year

This means preparation is critical. Getting pre-approved and being ready to act quickly will be important throughout the spring and summer markets.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

For sellers, current conditions remain very positive:

• Sale prices are increasing
• Inventory is low
• Homes are selling faster
• Buyers are negotiating less aggressively

If you’ve been considering listing your acreage or rural property, spring 2026 continues to provide favourable conditions.

🔮 Looking Ahead to Summer 2026

The next few months will likely depend heavily on inventory levels.

If listings remain limited while buyer demand continues increasing:

✅ Prices could continue rising
✅ Competition among buyers may intensify
✅ Well-priced properties could sell very quickly

The Lac Ste. Anne market is shaping up to be one of the stronger rural markets surrounding Edmonton in 2026.

Devon Real Estate Market Update:April 2026

The Devon real estate market continued to evolve in April 2026, showing a mix of rising home values, increasing inventory, and slower selling timelines. While the number of sales declined compared to the same time last year, pricing remained resilient, highlighting continued confidence in Devon’s housing market.

As more listings continue to enter the market, buyers are gaining additional options, while sellers are learning that strategic pricing and strong presentation are becoming increasingly important in a more balanced market environment.

Let’s break down the April numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers moving into the busy spring season.

📊 April 2026 Market Snapshot

Interactive bar graphs

Devon New  MLS® Listings

🏘️ Inventory Remains Higher Than Last Year

April saw 11 new listings hit the market, down 35.29% from April 2025. However, when we look at the broader yearly trend, Devon has still recorded 52 new listings so far in 2026, which is an 18.18% increase compared to last year.

This tells us that inventory levels remain noticeably higher than they were in early 2025, giving buyers more options and creating additional competition among sellers.

For buyers, this increase in available inventory is positive news, as it creates more opportunities to compare homes and negotiate favourable terms.

Average List Price

💲 Asking Prices Hold Strong

The average asking price in April came in at $469,000, a 4.70% decrease compared to April 2025. While this monthly decline may appear significant, the bigger picture still shows strong upward pricing trends.

Year-to-date, the average asking price in Devon sits at $496,000, which is an impressive 17.29% increase over 2025.

This indicates that seller confidence remains strong overall, even as some homeowners begin adjusting prices to align more closely with current buyer expectations and market conditions.

Devon Home Sales

📈 Sales Activity Slows Slightly

Devon recorded 8 residential sales in April 2026, representing a 20% decrease compared to April 2025. Year-to-date, the market has seen 37 total sales, down 7.5% from the same period last year.

While fewer homes sold this month, the decline in sales volume does not necessarily point to a weak market. Instead, it reflects a market where buyers are taking more time to evaluate properties as inventory levels increase and pricing continues to rise.

The spring market remains active overall, but buyers are becoming more selective and strategic with their purchases.

Average Sale Price

💵 Sale Prices Continue to Rise

Despite softer sales volume and slightly lower asking prices this month, the average sale price in April increased to $426,000, up 3.83% year-over-year.

Even more importantly, the year-to-date average sale price now sits at $433,000, representing a 6.33% increase compared to the same period in 2025.

This shows that home values in Devon continue to appreciate overall, even as the market becomes more balanced.

Buyers are still willing to pay strong prices for desirable properties — especially homes that are updated, well-maintained, and priced appropriately.

⚖️ Ask-to-Sell Ratio Shows More Negotiation

The average ask-to-sell ratio in April was 0.981, meaning homes sold for approximately 98.1% of asking price.

Year-to-date, the ratio sits at 0.981 compared to 0.996 last year, suggesting buyers have gained slightly more negotiating power.

This does not indicate a weak market — rather, it reflects a healthier and more balanced environment where realistic pricing is critical.

Average Days on Market

⏱️ Days on Market Spike Significantly

One of the most eye-catching stats this month is the jump in days on market, which climbed to 85 days, a 507.14% increase year-over-year.

Year-to-date, homes are taking 63 days to sell, up 34.04% compared to last year.

This shift indicates:

• Buyers are taking more time to make decisions
• Increased inventory is creating more competition among listings
• Pricing strategy is becoming more critical than ever

Homes are still selling — but not as quickly as they were in previous months.
