Are Home Prices in Sherman Going Up or Cooling Down?
The Question Everyone's Asking in 2026
Walk into any gathering in Sherman these days and real estate comes up faster than the weather. Neighbors are curious. Buyers are cautious. And sellers are wondering if they missed the peak or if there's still runway ahead. Bob McCranie has fielded this question hundreds of times — and his answer is always grounded in the same thing: actual data, not headlines.
As a 23-year veteran with over 1,561 homes sold across North Texas, Bob McCranie real estate isn't about hype. It's about helping people make smart decisions based on what the market is actually doing.
What the Numbers Are Telling Us
Sherman TX real estate 2026 is showing a market in steady, sustainable growth — not the feverish double-digit appreciation of 2021, but not a correction either. Prices are up modestly year-over-year, inventory has grown slightly from historic lows, and days on market have extended a bit — giving buyers just a little more breathing room than they had two years ago.
That's actually a healthy sign. Markets that appreciate too fast tend to correct. What Sherman is experiencing looks more like a long-term upward glide — exactly the kind of price trajectory you want to see in a market where you're planning to plant roots.

Price Tiers: Where's the Action?
Not all price ranges are moving at the same pace in Sherman right now. Here's what Bob is seeing on the ground:
Under $400K: The homes under $400K in Sherman remain the most active segment. Demand here is consistent, driven by buyers relocating from pricier Collin County communities and those entering the market for the first time. This tier has seen the most competition and the least negotiating room.
$400K–$600K: The mid-range bracket is moving well, with new construction accounting for a meaningful share of inventory. Buyers here have slightly more leverage, especially with resale homes.
$600K–$800K: The upper-mid range has seen some softening — homes are sitting a bit longer, and sellers are more open to negotiation. If you're shopping here, you may have more power than you think.
Over $800K: Luxury homes in Sherman are a smaller pool, but quality product is moving — especially waterfront homes and homes in gated communities.
What's Driving Prices Up?
Several forces are working in Sherman's favor right now:
Corporate investment. Texas Instruments' semiconductor plant and the broader economic ripple effect from Toyota's presence nearby are creating jobs — and people with jobs need housing. This demand is structural, not speculative.
Population migration. Buyers from Denton County, Tarrant County, and Dallas County are discovering that Sherman offers space, value, and quality of life that their current markets can no longer provide.
Limited land. As Sherman TX land gets developed, raw land becomes scarcer and more valuable — which puts upward pressure on all property values nearby.
What About a Correction?
Bob McCranie at HomeSmart is direct about this: "People ask me if we're in a bubble. Sherman isn't Frisco in 2021. The appreciation here is being driven by real economic fundamentals — jobs, infrastructure, population. That's not a bubble. That's a market growing up."
With 45 five-star Google reviews and over two decades of watching North Texas markets go through cycles, Bob has a clear-eyed perspective that cuts through the noise.
The Bottom Line on Sherman Home Prices
Prices are going up — moderately, sustainably, and with real economic drivers behind them. The question isn't whether Sherman will continue to appreciate. It's whether you want to participate in that appreciation as an owner, or watch it happen from the sidelines.
