A Change of Seasons

With kids going back to school and the transition to fall weather, we're also seeing changes in our area real estate market. We're starting to shift from a seller's market to a more balanced one. 

New listings have remained flat since August of last year and we're seeing more traditional sales, as opposed to the many bank-owned properties we saw on the market last year.

Here are the numbers:
  • Active listings: Up 9% from a year ago, giving us a 4 month supply
  • Pending sales: 5,200 units for month of August
  • Median home price: Up 5% since last year
  • Days on market: Just over 2 months
  • Showings per contract: 17-18

Overall, we're looking at a pretty strong market here in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We've had 30 straight months where we've seen an increase in median home sale price, which is a great sign for sellers. For buyers, you're still going to need to make aggressive offers, even though inventory is starting to head toward a more balanced market.
