We just held our Monthly Mastery Meeting at REMAX Professionals! 🔥

Here are the stats from this month, that I shared, to give you a better picture of the current Twin Cities Real Estate Market. (As of May, 2026)

Closed units and new listings were consistent with seasonal patterns.

- May 2026 YTD pending sales are 0.2% above May 2025
- May 2026 YTD new listings are 2.6% higher than May 2025
- Showing activity dipped slightly, consistent with seasonal patterns (March is usually the peak of buyer showings)

HousingWire recently quoted me about the recent decrease in first-time homebuyer activity and its affect on the market overall.

The trends is reshaping how agents build their businesses, talk about value and prepare for a future without traditional buyer pipelines.

I was interviewed last week by our REMAX Media Team for the REMAX March National Housing Report.

Here's what I shared:

Minneapolis offered a strong example of the spring market gaining momentum. Closed home sales increased 46.7% from February 2026. Justin Fox, Broker/Owner of REMAX Professionals in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, said the increase reflects renewed buyer activity:

“In the Minneapolis market, we saw a dramatic month-over-month increase in closed sales; however, year-to-date sales through March remain about 8% behind the same point last year. Mortgage rates earlier in the year were under 6%, contributing to that significant increase, but we saw them rise in March, which may have put a temporary damper on the excitement. Now rates appear to have started trending back down. Overall, I see pent-up demand in the median-price-ranged market with robust showing activity and multiple offers.”
