For Week Ending August 8, 2026

The dog days of summer brought us sluggish buyer volume and stubbornly high prices. The national median sales price reached $434,100 in July—a 2% year-over-year increase—as the ongoing “lock-in effect” kept homeowners with ultra-low pandemic-era mortgages from listing their properties. Existing-home sales dropped 1.7% month-over-month in July to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 4.06 million units, according to the National Association of Realtors®.

In the Twin Cities region, for the week ending August 8:

  • New Listings increased 14.6% to 1,648
  • Pending Sales decreased 0.6% to 1,012
  • Inventory increased 8.2% to 11,645
