Weekly Market Activity Report
For Week Ending May 10, 2014
Publish Date: May 19, 2014 • All comparisons are to 2013
April showers bring the Speedwell. This could have been the mantra if 1620 had gone differently (go ahead and Google it). Either way, the May flowers are rising high even as mortgage rates stay persistently low, which helps boost affordability regardless of rising prices. More mortgage applications means more first-time buyers dipping into home ownership. Lower unemployment levels will also help direct buyers toward the rosy scent of a new home.
In the Twin Cities region, for the week ending May 10:
• New Listings increased 6.5% to 1,979
• Pending Sales increased 0.1% to 1,264
• Inventory increased 3.5% to 15,009
For the month of April:
• Median Sales Price increased 7.6% to $196,425
• Days on Market decreased 8.2% to 89
