Weekly Market Report

by

For Week Ending November 19, 2022

Housing supply continues to grow nationwide, as higher borrowing costs cause home sales to slow. According to Realtor.com’s Monthly Housing Market Trends Report, the national inventory of active listings increased 33.5% year-over-year in October, the highest inventory level since 2020. As a result, local buyers may find they have more options to choose from, and with homes spending more days on market compared to the same period last year, a bit more time to shop around as well.

IN THE TWIN CITIES REGION, FOR THE WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 19:

  • New Listings decreased 1.8% to 975
  • Pending Sales decreased 42.6% to 671
  • Inventory increased 11.6% to 8,536

FOR THE MONTH OF OCTOBER:

  • Median Sales Price increased 4.6% to $355,500
  • Days on Market increased 33.3% to 36
  • Percent of Original List Price Received decreased 2.0% to 98.3%
  • Months Supply of Homes For Sale increased 26.7% to 1.9

All comparisons are to 2021

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

by

November 23, 2022
Mortgage rates continued to tick down heading into the Thanksgiving holiday. In recent weeks, rates have hit above seven percent only to drop by almost half a percentage point. This volatility is making it difficult for potential homebuyers to know when to get into the market, and that is reflected in the latest data which shows existing home sales slowing across all price points.
