The City Market Read

Minneapolis Market Pulse: Seller Leaning

Sellers have the stronger position, though buyers have more opportunity to negotiate than in the strongest markets.

Pending ratio: 48%. About 4-5 out of every 10 homes for sale are finding a buyer — an even market. Homes are selling, but buyers can shop around. Price it right and make it look good. Homes that sold took about 31 days to sell, which is fast.
