Cooling weather and recent interest rate hikes have fewer first-time buyers
shopping for homes thus far this fall, just as many existing homeowners are cozying
up to the idea of remaining in their current homes a little bit longer. With fewer
home buyers and homes for sale, we may see sales and sales prices start to
mellow, or it could mean that the more serious buyers and sellers will simply have
less competition.
In the Twin Cities region, for the week ending October 8:
• New Listings decreased 4.1% to 1,395
