Shortage of listings continues to constrain Twin Cities housing market

October 18, 2017 by pmcdermott Leave a Comment

The Twin Cities real estate market is experiencing a cool down as there continues to be a shortage of affordable and entry level homes. The annual seasonal slowdown has exposed the imbalance between buyers and sellers at the entry level of the housing market. The upper level home market is less competitive than the lower level, as multiple offers for affordable “move in” ready homes has become increasingly common.

For the moment, at least, some Twin Cities home sellers are being forced to cut prices

October 9, 2017 by pmcdermott Leave a Comment

The Twin Cities real estate market has been hot and is closing in on a record year of sales, despite a tight supply of homes for sale. The annual seasonal slowdown as we move into winter may be benefitting the buyers still in the market place. Twice as many homes for sale had price reductions in August (20% of listed homes in August had price reductions) than in the past spring. The homes of the bottom tier have been far less likely to see price reductions than the upper tier.

Twin Cities home sales fall for second straight month

September 22, 2017 by pmcdermott Leave a Comment

Home sales in the Twin Cities fell for the second straight month. The Twin Cities real estate market typically slows at the end of summer, but this year there have been some complications. The biggest factor in this slow down is the continued lack of supply at the entry level of the housing market. Home prices continue to rise, but overall sales numbers are lagging because of the short supply on the lower end of the market.

Stagers take a bigger role as demand remains high in Twin Cities home market

August 23, 2017 by pmcdermott Leave a Comment

Homes in the Twin Cities are nearly selling themselves as the real estate market remains strong, but home stagers are still in demand. Supply of homes for sale remains tight, but buyers are still looking for value and staging your home for sale is as important as ever. Home staging used to only be found in the high end real estate market, but home staging has proved effective in attracting buyers at all price levels, decreasing market times, and increasing sales prices. Contact Phil McDermott if you are thinking of selling or for a home staging referral and tips!
