Thinking about waiting to list? Read this first!
Let's break down 152 accepted offers across the Twin Cities between February 1 and 27 through Home Free TC. Here’s what the real numbers show for February:
• Median sale price to list price: 100%
• Average: 100.2%
• Only 6% of contracts fell apart
• 6% were contingent on a buyer selling their home
• 22% were cash
• 35% of sellers contributed to closing costs
Here’s what that actually means for you:
Quality homes are still selling at full list price on average. Demand is steady. Serious buyers are already active. Very few deals are collapsing.
At the same time, over a third of sellers offered closing cost help. That tells us buyers were negotiating intelligently, not recklessly, through a slower Winter market.
This is not a “wait and see” market. It is a strategic listing market.
The sellers who win this Spring will be the ones who:
• Price correctly from day one
• Showcase a quality listing with a professional
• Control the narrative, not chase it
As a seller, if you are debating timing, the bigger risk may be listing after inventory rises. Stand out from the crowd now! Buyers are looking today.
