Weekly insight: Buyer activity in the Twin Cities metro area trended closer to pre-pandemic activity from 2019 than the hyper-active demand seen in 2021. Average pending sales fell 23.5 percent last week compared to the same week a year prior. Broken-down by price segments, sales were down across the board, most notably for homes priced between $750k-1M which decreased by 42.4 percent on average. Seller activity remained level for the past few weeks where previous years normally began to increase supply by this time in the year. Overall supply was down 25.7 percent. The more affordably priced homes saw the most significant decline in new listings, a drop of 45.8 percent for homes priced under $120K. A silver lining from last week was that showing activity increased for the upper end of the housing market. Although overall showings were down 9.7 percent, the upper half of the market saw double-digit increases in buyer interest, most notably a 39.2 percent bump for homes priced between $600-800K. The 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage in the United States averaged 3.6 percent once again last week.
