Minnesota housing market update – July 2026
Inventory just hit a seven-year high.
At the same time, market activity is picking up:
• New listings ↑ 11.0% statewide
• Pending sales ↑ 8.0% statewide (↑ 9.7% in the Twin Cities)
• Closed sales also at a 4-year high
Median prices are still rising (modestly):
$375,000 statewide (+1.4%)
$410,000 in the Twin Cities (+2.1%)
Buyers have more options and a bit more time to decide.
Sellers are seeing longer days on market and slightly more negotiation.
Bottom line: The market is becoming more balanced. Homes that are priced right and show well are still moving — but strategy matters more than it did a couple years ago.

Curious what this means for your neighborhood or your next move in the North Metro / greater Minnesota? Happy to dig into the numbers with you.

Thinking about converting that spare bedroom before you list?
Hold off.
Buyers love having an extra room — but they want the option to use it their way: guest room, office, nursery, gym, or flex space.
The more customized it becomes (built-ins, specialty finishes, dedicated office setups), the harder it is for them to picture their life in it. Some even start calculating the cost of undoing your upgrades.
Keep it simple and versatile:
• Neutral finishes
• Minimal, flexible furniture
• Clean and uncluttered
• Good natural light
Save the bigger investments for the rooms that actually move the needle — kitchen, baths, and main living areas.
Flexibility sells. Over-customization can quietly shrink your buyer pool.
