The month you pick to list your Minnesota home for sale can make an astonishing difference in how much you make and how fast it sells. How astonishing? Based on historical sales data, if you list your $350,000 Maple Grove home in May for an August closing, you could sell it for nearly $23,000 more than the yearly average<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Timing is essential in Minnesota because of its frigid winters and potentially shortened selling season. In The Gopher State, you will want to take advantage of the spring and summer seasons. Ultimately, the best time to sell a house in Minnesota depends on your goals as a seller.<\/p>\n

This post gives you a closer look at the best times to sell, market and selling trends you need to know about, and insider tips to help you sell your Minnesota home faster and for more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Minnesota housing trends<\/h2>\n

Here are some Minnesota sales trends that provide context to when might be the best time to sell your house:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Data<\/strong><\/td>\nNational<\/strong><\/td>\nMinnesota<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Median home price<\/td>\n$396,900<\/a><\/td>\n$330,000<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Days on Market<\/a><\/td>\n66<\/a> days from listing to contract<\/td>\n58<\/a> days from listing to contract<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Housing inventory<\/td>\n3.5 months<\/a> for single-family homes<\/td>\n2.4 months<\/a> for single-family homes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

When it comes to housing inventory, Minnesota has a lower supply compared to the rest of the country. The \u201cmonths of inventory\u201d for Minnesota is under three months, meaning it would take less than 3 months for currently-listed homes to sell given the sales pace the area is experiencing.<\/p>\n

If an area has more months\u2019 supply, six, for example, the inventory is typically considered more balanced and associated with moderate price appreciation. A lower number of months can push prices up more rapidly. However, Minnesota homes are slightly less expensive compared to national averages<\/a> and sell quicker<\/a>. We\u2019ll look at housing inventory needs again in our Minnesota selling trends section below.<\/p>\n

When is the best time to sell a house in Minnesota?<\/h2>\n

The best time to sell a house in Minnesota depends on your selling aspirations. There may be a better month for the best time to sell fast and a month for the best time to sell for a higher price.<\/p>\n

The best time to sell also depends on where you live in Minnesota and the exclusive aspects of the community surrounding your home.<\/p>\n

The weather also impacts the best time to sell your home in Minnesota. A top real estate team, Marcia Gehrt<\/a> and Beth Norduane<\/a> of the Enclave Team from Rochester, Minnesota, agreed that the best time to sell your home is when sunny days make being outside more pleasant. \u201cIn our market, part of the influx is just spring in Minnesota; it\u2019s finally when the weather breaks,\u201d Gehrt says.<\/p>\n

To give you a better idea, we\u2019ve looked at actual real estate transaction data for six cities of different sizes that provide an overview of what might be the best times to sell your Minnesota home and the possible benefits. Your selling results will vary depending on what\u2019s happening in your market and other home-selling variables.<\/p>\n
