Home prices just notched their 38th straight month of year-over-year gains β€” but the rest of the picture is shifting. πŸ“Š

Fresh numbers from the National Association of Realtors (August 2026 data, released Sept. 10):
🏠 Median existing-home price: $429,100 (+1.6% YoY)
πŸ“‰ Sales pace: down 2% month-over-month to a 3.98M annualized rate
πŸ“ˆ Inventory: up to 4.9 months of supply (from 4.6 in July)

Translation: prices are still climbing nationally, but rising inventory means buyers are starting to see a bit more breathing room and negotiating power than earlier this year.

Curious what that means for your specific plans β€” buying or selling β€” right here in Central Minnesota? Let's talk numbers that actually apply to you. πŸ‘‡

Where's the tightest market in the St. Cloud area right now? Look north and west. πŸ”

NorthstarMLS data through July shows Foley sitting at just 1.6 months of supply and Holdingford even tighter at 1.2 months β€” both well below the broader St. Cloud area's 3.1 months. For comparison, St. Cloud itself sits at 3.2 months supply.

πŸ“ Foley: 1.6 months supply
πŸ“ Holdingford: 1.2 months supply
πŸ“ St. Cloud area overall: 3.1 months supply

Low supply usually means more competition for the homes that do hit the market in these areas. If you're buying or selling in Foley or Holdingford, timing and pricing strategy matter even more.

More homes. More options. More time to decide. 🏑

The national housing market just hit a milestone buyers have been waiting years for: active listings climbed to 1,140,035 in August β€” a 4-year high, up 3.6% year-over-year. Meanwhile, pending sales dipped 0.2% year-over-year, the first annual decline since November, and 20.4% of active listings now carry a price cut.

What it means:
πŸ“ˆ More inventory to choose from
πŸ’° More negotiating room on price
⏳ Less pressure to rush a decision

If you've been waiting for the market to loosen up a little, this could be your window. Let's talk about what it means for your search.

Nobody warns you that the hardest part of moving isn't the boxes β€” it's remembering every single account that needs your new address. πŸ“¬πŸ˜… Bank, insurance, subscriptions, the dog's vet... by day three you're just guessing.

Closing on a home is the easy part. Adulting afterward? That's the real test.
