🍎🍂 Your Minnesota Homegirl had to make a sweet little stop today!

And I'm telling you guys… Shields Lake Cheesecake does NOT disappoint! 🤤🙌

We picked up some seriously delicious fall goodies:

🍏 Caramel Apple Crisp
🍫 Cheesecake-Stuffed Brownie
🍎 Apple C***r Cheesecake-Stuffed Cookie

And we cannot WAIT to dig in! 😍

We also dropped off a copy of our Flyway Realty Magazine, so while you're grabbing yourself a sweet treat, be sure to check it out!

Nothing beats supporting local businesses, especially when cheesecake is involved! 😂❤️

Minnesota small businesses supporting Minnesota small businesses. That's what it's all about! 🦆🏡

Tell me you're a Minnesota homegirl without telling me you're a Minnesota homegirl! 😂🦌🏡🎯

This backseat pretty much sums up my life right now!

Open house signs? ✔️
Real estate hustle? ✔️
Cleaning company supplies? ✔️
Target practice squeezed in whenever I can? ✔️
Gearing up for deer season? YOU BETCHA! 🦌

Between selling houses, running a cleaning company, juggling all the other adventures, and finding time to get a few rounds downrange, there's never a dull moment!

Some girls have cute, organized backseats filled with shopping bags. Mine looks like a real estate agent, cleaning lady, and outdoorswoman all got together and decided to go on a road trip. 😂

A little business, a little backwoods, and a whole lot of Minnesota. ❤️

Wouldn't have it any other way!

🦆🍁 MONDAY MARKET UPDATE | FLYWAY REALTY 🏡

The leaves are falling, the ducks are flying, and guess what? Buyers are moving, too!

Happy Monday, Minnesota! ☕🍂

While we're all enjoying the beautiful fall colors, hunting season, and everything that makes Minnesota autumn so special, there's something else happening out there...

BUYERS ARE OUT AND OFFERS ARE BEING ACCEPTED! 🏡

Over the last several days, I've personally noticed more buyer activity, and we're seeing offers being written and accepted!

Now, does that mean the market has completely shifted? Not necessarily. But it IS an encouraging reminder that even with higher interest rates, people are still making moves.

📊 LET'S TALK MORTGAGE RATES!

According to Freddie Mac's October 8, 2026, Primary Mortgage Market Survey:

🏡 30-Year Fixed Mortgage: 7.40%

🏡 15-Year Fixed Mortgage: 6.73%

Yes, rates have climbed. And yes, affordability continues to be a factor for many buyers.

But here's what I always remind my clients:

The right time to buy or sell isn't necessarily when the headlines tell you it is. It's when the numbers, your goals, and your circumstances make sense for YOU.

🍁 SELLERS: Buyers are still out looking! Presentation, condition, pricing, and a solid marketing strategy matter. Just because the market is challenging doesn't mean your home can't sell.

🦆 BUYERS: Don't assume you have to sit on the sidelines. There may be opportunities to negotiate price, closing costs, or seller-paid interest rate buydowns. The key is understanding your options and working with the right team.

At Flyway Realty, we know every client has a different flight plan. Whether you're buying your first home, selling your current one, looking for land, or planning your next chapter, we're here to help you navigate the market.

Minnesota's seasons change, the market changes, and sometimes your flight plan needs to change, too.

📞 Consider this your duck call to give Flyway Realty a call!

☕🍂 Minnesota Homegirl Coffee Tour: Hunting Season Edition! 🦆🦌

It has been a HOT minute since Justin and I have done one of our coffee tour stops! And if you know us, you know exactly why…

HUNTING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING! 🦆🦃🦌

Between duck, fall turkey, pheasant, and deer hunting, our lives pretty much revolve around the woods, fields, and blinds for the next handful of weeks! And we wouldn't have it any other way!

BUT… every Wednesday I get to hang out with my nephew, and he's been helping me fill that little coffee tour void! ❤️

Today, we made a stop at The Oasis in Faribault, Minnesota! ☕🍁

🥤 His pick: An energy drink that earned a solid 9/10! According to him, it was DELICIOUS!

🎃 My pick: Pumpkin Chai Tea with almond milk, and let me tell you… GLORIOUS!!! 🙌 Seriously, fall in a cup!

There's just something about finding little local gems, supporting small businesses, and making memories with the people you love.

So while Justin and I might be trading coffee dates for duck blinds for a few weeks, the Minnesota Homegirl Coffee Tour is still alive and well… I've just recruited a new tour partner! 😂❤️

Tell me, where should we stop next Wednesday?! ☕👇

🏡 WHAT GOES INTO PRICING YOUR HOME?

One of the biggest questions sellers ask me is, “What should we list our home for?”

And the answer isn't just pulling a few comps and picking a number.

When I'm recommending a list price, I'm looking at the whole picture.

First, what have comparable homes actually SOLD for? Not what someone hoped to get for them—the actual sales data.

Second, how does your home compare to the competition? Condition, updates, location, lot, layout, features, and what else a buyer can purchase in that same price range.

Third—and especially important in this market—what are buyer demand and affordability doing in your particular price range?

And then there's something that doesn't show up on a spreadsheet:

What is YOUR motivation for selling?

Do you need to move quickly? Are you relocating? Do you have another home you want to purchase? Are you testing the waters and willing to wait for the right buyer? Is there a certain financial goal you need to reach?

Those things matter.

Two similar homes might have similar market values, but the pricing strategy for each seller may look different depending on their goals and timeline.

And here's something sellers need to hear:

A home can be priced correctly and still take longer to sell.

Interest rates impact purchasing power. Certain price points may have a smaller pool of qualified or willing buyers. Buyers may be more cautious, and homes can simply take longer to move.

That's why I don't automatically look at days on market and say, “The price is wrong.”

I look deeper.

Are we getting showings? What feedback are we receiving? What's happening with competing properties? Are homes in this price bracket actually going under contract? Has buyer activity shifted since we listed?

Sometimes a price adjustment IS the right strategy. Other times, the market requires patience, strong marketing, and continuing to position the property well.

It's not just about determining what your home is worth. It's about understanding the market your home has to sell in—and creating a strategy that makes sense for YOU.

That's the conversation I want to have with my sellers from our first meeting all the way to the closing table. 🦆🏡

Monday Market Forecast & Update

MONDAY MARKET UPDATE 🦆🏡

The market is always moving, and part of our job at Flyway Realty is helping you understand what those changes actually mean for your flight plan.

According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are remaining relatively steady — but here’s the other thing I want homeowners to remember:

You don’t have to be ready to sell today to start preparing for tomorrow.

Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing simple, practical ways you can update your home, increase its appeal, and be strategic about where you put your money so you’re thinking about return on investment — not just renovation.

We’ll talk curb appeal, inexpensive updates, rooms worth investing in, things you probably don’t need to spend money on, and what buyers are actually paying attention to.

Because sometimes the best real estate decision isn’t making a move today. Sometimes it’s getting your home ready so that when the time is right, you’re prepared.

Stay tuned. 🏡🦆
