🏡 More inventory = more leverage for buyers.

The market continues to move toward balance as more homes hit the market:

📈 Minnesota inventory: +9.1% YoY
📈 Twin Cities inventory: +6.7% YoY
🏠 Months of supply: 3.5 statewide | 3.0 Twin Cities

More choices. More time. More negotiating power for buyers.

Sellers are still getting close to list price, with homes selling for 98.3% of list price statewide and 99.1% in the Twin Cities.

“As inventory rises, we’re seeing the market continue to move toward greater balance, though conditions vary by price point and property type,” said Aarica Coleman, President of Minneapolis Area Realtors®. “That shift is happening gradually, even as homes continue to sell very close to list price.”
