St. Cloud Market Report

Supply is the whole story right now. St. Cloud has been sitting near two and a half months of inventory for most of the year, and anything under four months puts sellers in the stronger position. Listings that priced to the evidence went in about five weeks; the ones that reached went considerably longer and most of them ended up cutting back to where they should have started. Pricing right from day one is the single most important factor in a successful sale — the market decides what a home is worth, and it decides fast. Prices are up about 4% over last year, which is steady rather than dramatic. If you're selling, that steadiness is good news: it means we can price off real comparable sales instead of guessing at momentum. If you're buying, there's more on the market in June than there was in January, and the homes that have been listed a month or more are where the negotiating room is. No pressure — just clarity.
