Weekly Twin Cities Real Estate Market Activity Report

The Dead of Winter...

With cold weather, high winds and relatively low consumer confidence, the Twin Cities housing market continues to experience low levels of buyer activity in January. Newly signed purchase agreements (pending sales) posted 485 units sold for the week ending January 19, a decline of 19.4 percent from this time last year. For the same time period comparison, new listings held relatively steady, posting 1,877 new units on the market. Roughly half of these are re-lists that have already been placed on the market at least once in the last 12 months.
