Every story needs a hero, and housing's current starlet is (drum roll, please)
inventory. More markets continue to see increases in homes for sale, giving buyers
more options and keeping prices from trying to overshadow the popularity of
inventory with unsustainable stardom. As autumnal extracurriculars pick up and
department store decorations trend towards the mustard palate, sales may drop
off some, but the subplots of normalization and stabilization should remain
popular with year-over-year inventory increases in the leading role.
In the Twin Cities region, for the week ending October 4:
• New Listings decreased 3.8% to 1,477
• Pending Sales increased 1.7% to 1,063
