🦆 Monday Market Update | Minnesota Homegirl

Happy Monday, Minnesota! 🌾🏡

Mortgage rates are holding pretty steady heading into the end of summer.

This week’s Freddie Mac averages:
30-Year Fixed → 6.66%
15-Year Fixed → 5.98%

But here’s the part I want buyers to pay attention to: the interest rate is only one piece of the puzzle.

Freddie Mac is reporting more homes coming onto the market and slower price growth in many areas, which is giving buyers more options and helping create a more balanced market.

And THAT is where opportunity can show up.

A little more inventory can mean more room to negotiate on price, closing costs, inspections, or even a seller-paid rate buydown. You don't necessarily need to wait around for the “perfect” interest rate if the right house + right price + right financing strategy makes sense for you now.

Around here, we don't just open doors. We help you understand the whole flight plan — from where you are now to closing day. 🦆

We didn’t make it out for a coffee tour this weekend, but we DID break in the boat, spent a little time getting ready for duck opener 💚🦆 and I even treated myself to a pretty little mocktail at Roma’s in Owatonna.

Honestly, I’ll take a weekend like this any day.

Boat rides. Minnesota skies. A little prep for hunting season. And soaking up these last days of summer before fall rolls in.

Minnesota, your scenery & this man has my heart. 💚

Just a view from one of our deer stands. 🌾🦌

There’s something about looking out over a piece of Minnesota ground that just feels like home.

Being Minnesotan means knowing the soil. Knowing what grows in it, what moves across it, and understanding that good land is about so much more than the number of acres on a map.

It’s the soil you farm. The ground you hunt. The woods you walk. And someday, the land you may hand down to the next generation.

At Flyway Realty, we don’t just sell land—we understand it and live it.

Whether you're looking for rich Minnesota soil for farming, hunting land, recreational property, or a place to build your home and put down roots, we're here to help you find the right piece of ground.

Because there’s something pretty special about opening morning when the soil beneath your boots belongs to you. 🦌🌾

Faith. Family. Land. Home.
Proudly Minnesotan.

🍂🦆 MONDAY MARKET UPDATE | FLYWAY REALTY

Can you feel it?! Fall is right around the corner here in Minnesota. 🍁 Cooler mornings, shorter days, football, hunting season, pumpkin everything... and a real estate market that is starting to shift right along with the season.

And we have a little good news for buyers this Monday! 🙌

🏡 30-Year Fixed: 6.65%
🏡 15-Year Fixed: 5.95%

Mortgage rates dipped for the second week in a row, giving buyers a little more breathing room as we head toward the fall market.

Here’s the thing about fall real estate: it can be a really sweet spot.

Summer competition starts to cool down, serious sellers are still on the market, and buyers who stay active may find opportunities that weren’t there a few months ago.

And if you're thinking about selling? Don't assume you missed your window just because summer is wrapping up. 🍂 There are still buyers who want to find HOME before the snow flies and the holidays arrive.

Whether you're looking for your first home, your next home, a piece of hunting land, acreage, or commercial property — you don't have to figure out the market alone.

We’ll give you a clear flight plan from start to closing. 🦆🤎

There is just something about being Minnesotan and LOVING fair season. 😂🎡🌽❤️

The Steele County Free Fair is one of those things that just feels like summer in Minnesota — the people, the animals, the food, the smells, and of course eating things you probably wouldn’t normally eat 😂

AND can we talk about the fact that there was FINALLY a gluten AND dairy-free fair food stand?! 🙌🏼 Even more fitting… it was called Auntie M’s — which just so happens to be my nickname. 😂 I mean, clearly I had to support them.

🌽 Corn dog: 4.5/5
🍩 Donuts: 4/5

Gluten-and-dairy-free fair food dreams officially achieved. 😂👏🏼

My sweet friend and I were also supposed to go to the Christian concert, but unfortunately we BOTH ended up getting sick and couldn’t make it. 😭 Definitely not how we planned it, but the silver lining was being able to bless two other people with our tickets so they could go enjoy the concert. ❤️

Sometimes the night doesn’t go exactly as planned, but there’s still a little goodness tucked into it.

Until next year, Steele County Fair. 🎡🌽🐄❤️

Minnesota summers just wouldn’t be Minnesota summers without the fair.

I am 100% a Minnesota girl at heart ❤️
Even when I lived out east you couldn't take the Minnesota out of me. The "ofta" or "you betcha ya" and weird obsession with top the tater & ranch 🤣🤣
And it just wouldn't be right if I didnt hit up all the coffee spots when their fall releases debut.
Fall is my most favorite time. Pumpkin 🎃, apple 🍎, pecan, maple 🍁 flavors, bon fires 🔥, leaves changing, cozy blankets, cool mornings, Friday night football, soup, vests, and hunting.......
No shame here. I am a Minnesota, Pumpkin spice fan and not afraid to yell it from the rooftops 🫶🫶

Cheers
What is your favorite part of Fall?

We are BACK on our Minnesota Coffee Tour ❤️🦆☕️

Today’s flight path took us to Mankato, where we checked out Maezes coffee.

Of course, Justin ordered his signature — an iced chai with caramel. 😂 He gave it a 4.5/5 ⭐️.

I went full Minnesota and ordered the Salted Maple Latte 🍁 with almond milk… and that baby gets a 5/5 ⭐️ from me. The perfect mix of sweet, salty, maple goodness. SO good.

Next stop was Lakota Made, one of our favorite Minnesota shops, where we stocked up on some tea and salves. ❤️

And THEN… Justin suggested we stop at Hobby Lobby.

I certainly wasn’t going to argue with the man. 😂 When your husband voluntarily suggests Hobby Lobby, you take the blessing and RUN.

Another successful little Minnesota adventure in the books. 🦆☕️🍁
And another little field trip we will share the deets on later 😉

Coffee. Local shops. Minnesota-made goodies. And a completely necessary Hobby Lobby detour.

That’s our kind of Saturday. ❤️

🦆🦆🦆

We’ve been a little MIA around here… but for good reason. 🦆🌾

We’ve been out in the field scouting properties for our clients, learning the land, and putting some miles on the boots.

Annnnd I snuck away for a fun little field trip with some of my favorite people to scout a property for ourselves. 👀 Stay tuned on that one…

Around Flyway Realty, quiet doesn’t mean we’re sleeping—it usually means we’re somewhere off the beaten path, doing the work.

Because whether we’re scouting land, walking a property, chasing down an opportunity, or helping you figure out your next move…

We’ll always answer the call. 🦆
And we always bring dog treats and a coffee 😆

🦆 TIP TUESDAY | FLYWAY REALTY
with Your Minnesota Home Girl

Thinking about buying a piece of Minnesota land? 🌾🌲
Here’s your Tuesday tip:

Find yourself a Realtor who actually understands LAND.
Buying 40 acres isn't the same as buying a house with a bigger backyard.

That beautiful piece of property might look perfect when you're standing at the road — but what you can actually do with it is another story.

Before you buy, you should be asking questions like:
• What is the land currently zoned for — and what uses are actually permitted?
• Is there legal access to the property?
• Are there wetlands, floodplains or other restrictions?
• Is the property buildable, and where could a home or outbuilding actually go?
• What do the soils tell us?
• If it's agricultural land, what is the productivity and current use?
• Are there easements, conservation programs or other agreements affecting it?
• For hunting land — how does water, cover, food, neighboring land and habitat affect the property?
• What could future land management look like?

And here's one people don't always think about:
What you want the land for matters just as much as the acreage.
Ten acres meant for building a homestead is a very different purchase from 80 acres of tillable ground, a wetland property, recreational hunting land or a future investment.

At Flyway Realty, land isn't just another box we check
Because when you're investing in Minnesota dirt, you deserve someone who understands more than the price per acre.
Know the land. Know the use. Know your flight plan. 🦆
