Growth does not always mean making a big change. Sometimes it is trying something new, reconnecting with someone you miss, refreshing a routine, or sharing something you have learned along the way.

As our lives change, what we need from our homes, relationships, and communities can change too. September feels like a good time to check in with yourself, stay curious, and make a little room for what matters now.

And if that next season includes a move for you or someone you care about, I am always grateful for the opportunity to help.

More choices do not automatically mean less competition, and rising prices do not automatically mean every home will sell quickly.

This is a market that rewards understanding what is happening at the neighborhood and property level. August is telling a more nuanced story than a simple “buyer’s market” or “seller’s market.”

Across Hennepin County, buyers are seeing more homes to choose from, while sales have not kept pace with that added inventory. Homes are also taking longer to sell and sellers are giving up a little more from their original asking price. That points to a market where buyers can afford to be more selective and sellers need to be more precise about pricing, condition, and presentation.

Minnetonka is more active. Both new listings and closed sales increased, suggesting buyers are still engaging when the right property comes along. At the same time, longer market times and a wider gap between original list price and final sale price show that buyers are not simply accepting whatever hits the market.

Eden Prairie tells another story. More homes came to market, but inventory actually tightened and prices continued to move higher. That combination suggests demand is absorbing much of the new supply, even though buyers are taking considerably longer to make decisions than they did a year ago.

Considering buying or selling a home? Reach out. Real Estate is local. Conditions in one city, or even on one street, may differ from the neighboring market or adjacent street. Let's connect and get to talking about your specific area and map out your options.

Older homes offer something you simply cannot manufacture overnight. Original woodwork, hardwood floors, mature landscaping, built-ins, and neighborhoods with decades of history all add to their appeal.

But character should come with careful evaluation.

🔍 Understand the condition of major systems
🪟 Look closely at windows and insulation
🛠️ Ask about renovations and maintenance history
📐 Decide whether the layout works for your lifestyle
🌳 Consider the value of the location and neighborhood

The right older home can be a wonderful investment. The key is understanding both its character and its condition before you buy.

One of the best parts of September in Minnesota? Orchard season. A few Twin Cities favorites:

🍏 Apple Jack Orchards in Delano
🎃 Fall Harvest Orchard in Delano
🍎 Afton Apple Orchard in Hastings

Picking conditions and varieties change quickly, so check ahead before making the drive.

Apples, pumpkins, corn mazes, bakery treats. There are plenty of good reasons to make an afternoon of it.
