Are High Interest Rates Killing the 2025 Minnesota Housing Market?
📈 Is the 2025 housing market slowing down… or heating up? In this episode, we break down the real impact of high interest rates on Minnesota buyers and sellers—and the surprising truth might change how you approach your next move.
✅ Are buyers still active with rates at 6.5–7%?
✅ Will a rate drop flood the market with competition?
✅ What’s keeping prices from falling—and why waiting could cost you?
We also dive into lessons from past markets (like 2012 and COVID), how inventory remains tight, and why the “if not now, when?” mindset matters more than ever in today’s real estate landscape.
🎧 Whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or just watching the market, this podcast gives you real insights and honest advice to help you make the right move.
