The Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors released NorthstarMLS’ October stats this morning, and it was another month of improvement! The average sales price is up 7.8% over last October to $209,522. Market time is down 24.8%, pending sales are up 34%, and closed sales are up 15.1%. We did see an increase in new listings, up 7.5% from last year; however, the inventory continues to drop 29.7%, with only a 3.7-month supply of homes on the market. What do these numbers mean? The market is stabilizing. If you were to put your home on the market now at a reasonable market price, you are likely to have more success than you did a year ago. We have even started seeing more multiple offers again. For more specific statistics on your neighborhood, call your neighborhood Realtor.
