Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Sherburne County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Sherburne County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 37. Inventory is still limited at 2.4 months of supply, even after a sizable 28 percent increase over last year. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up to 23, more than double year-ago levels.
Prices are moving higher despite that extra time on the market. The typical home value is about $413,000 in July, roughly 7 percent above last year and up nearly 5 percent from June. New listings jumped more than 28 percent year over year, while homes sold slipped about 8 percent, showing that buyer demand has cooled somewhat but not enough to push the market into buyers’ territory.
Compared with Minnesota overall, Sherburne County is pricier and a bit more tilted toward sellers, with higher home values and slightly tighter supply than the state’s 2.8 months. Even so, only about 34 percent of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits right at 100 percent, signaling that aggressive bidding wars are less common than they were earlier. Buyers can use the slower pace and added inventory to be more selective, while sellers still benefit from solid pricing power, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with a skilled local agent to navigate these conditions.
Sherburne County offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and balanced opportunities for growth, blending rural charm with accessible amenities.
Sherburne County offers a distinct blend of small-town character and practical access to larger job centers, standing apart from closer-in suburbs of the Twin Cities. Communities like Elk River, Big Lake, Becker, and Zimmerman share a strong local identity, with schools, youth sports, and seasonal events shaping day to day life.
Outdoor recreation is a central part of the culture. Residents enjoy the Mississippi and Elk Rivers, lakes, and protected natural areas such as Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge and Sand Dunes State Forest. Families make regular use of parks like Orono Park in Big Lake and Lions Park in Elk River, as well as community hubs such as the Elk River Library. Local dining and gathering spots, including downtown Elk River and lakefront venues, give residents familiar places to meet neighbors and support local businesses.
Commuters appreciate Northstar Line access from Big Lake Station into Minneapolis, along with straightforward highway connections. As the county grows, neighborhoods range from newer subdivisions to established rural properties, which makes pricing and competition vary from town to town and even block to block.
In this kind of market, timing, pricing, and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects Sherburne County buyers and sellers with experienced real estate agents who understand local trends and can help you move confidently when the moment is right.

She made the process pretty easy!”
