Supply Constraints: A noteworthy trend that has captured our attention is the 6.4% year-over-year decrease in the number of homes actively for sale. This reduction can be attributed to multiple factors, including changing homeowner preferences and broader economic influences. As a Realtor, this emphasizes the importance of strategic planning and creative marketing techniques to attract potential buyers in a competitive market.

Unpacking the Unsold Homes:  A deeper analysis reveals that the total number of unsold homes, including those under contract, has decreased by 9.1% compared to the previous year. This decline suggests a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, potentially leading to a more streamlined and efficient buying and selling process.

Seller Activity: July brought a distinctive shift in seller behavior, with a substantial 20.8% decrease in newly listed homes for sale compared to the previous year. This shift could be influenced by seasonal patterns or broader economic factors. As a Realtor focused on local businesses and the community, leveraging this information can guide your engagement strategies with potential sellers and buyers alike.

Median Price Movement: An intriguing development in July is the -0.9% annual decrease in the median price of homes for sale. This marks the second consecutive month of year-over-year price decline. While a slight drop, this movement emphasizes the importance of pricing homes accurately to attract motivated buyers and expedite the sales process. Note that the Twin Cities median home increased 0.5%.

Days on Market:  Homes spent an average of 45 days on the market, an increase of 11 days compared to the previous year. It's essential to note that this figure is still shorter than the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period, indicating resilience and adaptability within the housing market.
