“Haewon Park helped me buy a townhome in Eden Prairie this fall, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. We were buying from Iowa while I was starting a new job in Minnesota, so we needed an agent who could be our eyes on the ground. Haewon was exactly that. She video-walked properties for us, gave honest opinions on condition and HOA health, and knew the Eden Prairie market well enough to tell us right away which listings were priced well and which weren’t. When we found the right home, she negotiated hard and got the price down, which made a real difference for us. Through inspection, financing, and title, she kept every party on schedule and answered my questions within the hour, every time. We closed on time on October 26 with no surprises. As a licensed REALTOR in Iowa myself, I pay close attention to how other agents run a transaction. Haewon’s communication, organization, and negotiation skills are top tier. If you’re relocating to the Twin Cities or buying from out of state, she’s the agent to call.”

Benton County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Benton County real estate market. *
Latest Monthly Snapshot
September 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Benton County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Benton County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Benton County’s prices have edged down while inventory has expanded noticeably. The typical home value is about 17 percent below the Minnesota median, and local home values have dipped a bit more than the state overall as active listings have climbed over 24 percent from last year.
In the latest September snapshot, buyers are seeing more options and slightly softer pricing, with median list prices down more than 6 percent from a year ago and almost 5 percent from August. At the same time, homes are taking about 25 days to sell on median, roughly flat versus last year but faster than just a few months ago, pointing to a market that is active yet not overheated.
Supply conditions have shifted most dramatically, with months of supply up sharply year over year to 3.4 months, even as the share of homes selling above list has dropped to about 18 percent. Because homes sold and pending sales are both down from last year, sellers face more competition while buyers gain a bit more leverage, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these trends.

“Daisy was absolutely wonderful to work with and made the very frightening experience of being a first time homebuyer feel like a walk in the park. From assisting with lending to negotiating with the sellers and title company she was a dream to work with. She was very responsive to texts and calls (we were negotiating via text while I was at the state fair and even at a concert! Lots of late evening conversations and concessions from the sellers!) She really helped me through the entire process making sure all of my questions and concerns were addressed from start to close. I’m also a Veteran and she is familiar with the VA loan and inspection process and all went smoothly. At closing she brought us a huge balloon bouquet and a cute flower arrangement and then left a large gift basket with champagne and other goodies to enjoy at our new home! She really just went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a home. Thank you so much Daisy, you helped make my dream of home ownership a reality!”
“Angel was an excellent realtor. This was our first time buying a home. Angel was always available with answers to our home-buying questions. Angel is professional, punctual, and offers advice with the buyer's interest in mind. I would highly recommend Angel to my family and friends. I am open to working with Angel again in the future if the opportuniy arose.”
“Scott and Nick Breuer at First Choice Realty Solutions made the first-time home-buying experience for my partner and I a breeze! We were very happy with how quickly they communicated with us and how willing they were to answer any questions we had along the way. Being first-time homebuyers, there was a lot we didn’t know about the process, but they always took the time to explain things and make sure we felt comfortable and at ease. They made the whole process feel a lot less stressful and were great to work with from start to finish. We really appreciated having people we could trust and rely on throughout such a big milestone in our lives. We would definitely recommend Scott and Nick to anyone looking to buy a home, especially other first-time homebuyers. We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with them!”
“We are extremely happy with the job Erin did helping us sell our home! She was tenacious, dedicated, and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. She stayed on top of every detail and never gave up, even in this challenging market. Her professionalism, persistence, and commitment made a real difference throughout the process. We had such a great experience working with Erin that we have recommend her to our children. Erin is a realtor who cares about her clients and will work for the best possible outcome. We highly recommend Erin!”

“I recently needed to sell the home of my brother who had passed away. I had bought only one home in my life and never had sold one. Needless to say, I wasn't well versed on the realty market and process of today. Lindy was the perfect fit to assist me with this process. She displayed excellent knowledge of the market, displayed great communication skills and patience. Her attention to detail and followup were outstanding. I would highly recommend Lindy for all of your real estate needs.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Michael! From start to finish, he truly went above and beyond to make the entire process of selling my home as smooth and stress-free as possible. Michael was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the extra time to answer my questions and talk through anything that came up. I never felt like I was just another client — he genuinely cared about making sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. Selling a home and making a big move can be stressful, but having Michael in my corner made such a difference. He was professional, patient, honest, and proactive every step of the way. I’m extremely grateful for everything he did and couldn’t recommend him more highly. If you’re looking for a realtor who will truly go above and beyond for you, Michael is your guy!”

“Our Realtor-Neighbor…or Neighbor-Realtor… There are realtors. Then there is A Realtor. And in our case, a Realtor-Neighbor. Or a NEIGHBOR-Realtor. After 19 years in Apple Valley, we bid farewell to the home we loved end of June – with the help of Misty May & Hayden Farris, of Coldwell Banker Realty. Our review will not do Misty & Team justice in all that they have done for us in decluttering, coordinating repairs, donating unwanted items, negotiating the best possible price, and a myriad of other to-do’s in prepping our property for sale. As our neighbors, Misty and Family were wonderful, being our trusted go-to for anything pertaining to the house as we travelled plenty in the few years leading up to putting the house up for sale. As our Realtor, Misty and Team were most resourceful in providing guidance, patience, and grace as we took time to get the house ready for staging and listing – her expertise shows when we saw the post-staging photoshoot, exclaiming to ourselves, “We would buy this house!” Their expertise and ease of working with in-person, remotely online, via calls for discussions and decisions, all assuringly helped us sleep well at night through the 6-month journey to get our house SOLD! For that we are grateful and certainly will recommend Misty, Hayden & their team of make-things-happen crew to any home buyers or sellers! THANK YOU, Misty & Team!”
“Excellent service from beginning to end. Was absolutely focused on the right investment for our family vs pushing a sale. Will use for all real estate needs moving forward.”
“Working with Andrew to sell our home was a great experience from start to finish. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and guided us through every step of the process with professionalism and care. We truly appreciated Andrew's expertise and dedication, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Jenny did a fantastic job assisting us in buying our first home! She was efficient, responsive, knowledgeable, and very respectful of our needs and wants. We loved that we never felt pressured into anything. Jenny is a great realtor, and made a large difference in our experience!”
