HOW MUCH IS MY HOME WORTH RIGHT NOW? TWIN CITIES REALITY
If you’re thinking about selling, this is the question that matters most.
How much is my home actually worth right now?
Not what Zillow says. Not what your neighbor got last year.
What it will sell for today.
Here’s the truth.
Prices in the Twin Cities are relatively flat right now. Maybe up around 2 percent. But that alone does not tell the story.
What matters is how your home shows up in this market.
Right now there are two completely different experiences.
Some homes get multiple offers in days.
Others sit for weeks with little to no activity.
The difference is condition and presentation.
Buyers want clean, move-in ready homes. Fresh paint. Well maintained. No projects.
If your home checks those boxes, buyers compete.
If it doesn’t, they move on.
Now here’s what most people don’t realize.
There is a growing trend, especially in Bloomington and lower price ranges.
Agents are intentionally underpricing homes to create bidding wars.
Then they advertise how far over asking they sold.
That is not the market going up. That is strategy.
If you price too high while others price aggressively,
you get left behind.
Here’s how I actually determine value.
I use three methods, not one.
Comparable sales within 90 days and close proximity
Active and pending listings to track direction
Advanced MLS valuation models
Then I bracket your home
One slightly better
One similar
One slightly inferior
That gives a true range. Not a guess.
And Zillow?
Zillow is not accurate. It pulls incomplete data and often shows homes not even for sale.
Using it to price your home is a mistake.
Here’s where sellers are getting it wrong
Pricing too high
Ignoring condition
Using poor photos and weak marketing
The number one thing killing showings is simple
Your home does not stand out online
Buyers decide in seconds. If your presentation is weak,
you lose before they ever walk in.
And waiting for a better market?
That is speculation.
You make decisions based on what is happening right now.
If you want top dollar, focus on what you can control
Price it right
Prepare it right
Market it right
That is how you win in this market.
