National and Local Stat Options:

National Update:  Recent data shows the housing market’s resilience is holding strong. Existing-home sales are maintaining a steady pace, and median home prices are seeing moderate growth compared to the previous year. However, inventory remains limited, meaning well-priced homes are still in high demand and attracting attention from motivated buyers.

Mortgage rates continue to be a critical factor this month. They offer appealing opportunities for those ready to make a move. Keep an eye on Freddie Mac’s current interest rates to see how they might work in your favor as you navigate the market.

Local Twin Cities Update: In the Twin Cities area, the market is reflecting similar trends. Despite lower inventory levels, homes that are priced right continue to sell quickly, often with multiple offers.

The median home price in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area has seen modest gains, and while days on market are slightly longer compared to the summer, the demand remains steady, particularly for well-maintained homes in desirable neighborhoods. For buyers, this can be a great opportunity to find a home before the market slows for the holiday season.
