MAAR Weekly Market Activity Report
The Twin Cities housing market at the beginning of 2010 continues to
look similar to the Twin Cities housing market at the beginning of 2009.
There were 1,848 new listings for the week ending February 6, a 3.8
percent increase from the same week last year. On a similar track,
there were 780 pending sales for the same week, 4.7 percent above
last year.
With supply dropping—now at 5.5 months of availability—it may be that
potential buyers are all too familiar with the inventory they have to
choose from, especially in the lower price ranges where sales have
been through the roof in the last year and inventory has dropped
quickly.
