The highlights
- New listings in May grew 5.3% statewide and 0.6% in the Twin Cities.
- With trade tensions and higher mortgage rates, fewer buyers have been willing to commit to a sale than we would normally expect.
- More committed, qualified buyers have entered the market in search of larger homes, allowing their current homes to be listed and welcome first-time buyers to the market.
Following the trends of summers past, more homeowners have joined the summer market by listing their homes in May. This is good news for buyers who have been patiently waiting for more inventory to help balance the market, offer more options, slow down the urgency and lessen the competition.
But while inventory is growing, there has been a more modest increase in sales. Pending sales were up a meager 0.5% in the Twin Cities metro this past month, in part due to economic uncertainty and higher mortgage rates (though not as high as we’ve seen earlier this year). However, with increased inventory and the potential for lower rates as trade tensions lessen, it is expected that sales will continue to grow throughout the summer.
One trend of note is that current buyers are more qualified and serious about buying. There has been an increase in move-up buyers who are using their current home equity to enter the market and search for larger homes to accommodate their growing families and aging parents. With this group moving up and listing their current homes, there are more opportunities for first-time buyers who now have a larger pool of homes under $300,000 to choose from.
Make no mistake, it is still a seller’s market. Sellers are fetching anywhere from 99.3-100.5% of their original listing price, with the median home price rising 2.6% in the Twin Cities area to $395,000. But with more sellers willing to list and buyers of all price ranges ready to make a purchase, we can expect a continued push toward a more balanced market.
