Weekly Housing Activity Report From the Minneapolis Association of REALTORS

For Week Ending May 21, 2016

Publish Date: May 31, 2016 • All comparisons are to 2015

Housing has been a strong sector of the nation's economy over the past few years, but new construction has not been growing with demand so far in 2016. Low inventory and rising prices continue to be the trends to watch. As long as the local economy stays in growth mode and aging millennials choose to buy over renting, the market should remain on an extended path of stability.

• New Listings increased 16.7% to 2,199

• Pending Sales increased 10.4% to 1,613

• Inventory decreased 19.0% to 13,533

For the month of April:

• Median Sales Price increased 7.7% to $231,450

• Days on Market decreased 14.1% to 73

• Percent of Original List Price Received increased 1.0% to 98.0%
