The Minneapolis Area Association has released the Twin Cities market statistics for the week ending February 23.  The spring market is upon us and the buyers are coming out of the woodwork at a fast pace but the homes for sale are not coming onto the market causing a very serious shortage of homes for buyers to choose from. Right now it has changed from a buyers to a sellers market.  With such a low inventory of homes for sale, homes priced correctly are selling fast and often end up in multiple offer situations.

In the Twin Cities region, for the week ending February 23:
• New Listings decreased 6.1% to 1,176
• Pending Sales increased 3.1% to 927
• Inventory decreased 30.9% to 12,341

For the month of January:
• Median Sales Price increased 14.3% to $160,000
• Days on Market decreased 24.1% to 107
• Percent of Original List Price Received increased 2.5% to 93.5%
• Months Supply of Inventory decreased 40.0% to 3.0
