Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).

Year over year, Benton County’s typical home value is up more than 13 percent, while the median list price has climbed nearly 11 percent. Compared with Minnesota overall, where prices are up only about 2 percent, this points to notably stronger price growth locally.

In the latest August report, the typical home value sits around $331,000 and the median list price is about $310,000. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than a month ago at a median of 26 days, yet they are still moving slightly faster than a year earlier.

Inventory has expanded over the past year, with active listings up about 19 percent and months of supply rising to 2.8 months, close to the state’s 2.9 months. Even with more options and a seller’s market reading, only about 26 percent of homes are selling above list and the average sale-to-list price ratio is just under 100 percent, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate pricing, timing, and offers effectively.

“Michele was incredible to work with again! This was our third time working with Michele in regards to buying/selling a home. As always, Michele was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. She has helped us both with homes in the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo area and in MN lakes area. Michele has excellent communication skills, was proactive in sharing listings when buying home and in reaching out to potential buyers when selling a home. Michele also proactively communicated with us in all stages of the negiotiation process, offered helpful advice and advocated for us to get us a great deal. We would highly recommend asking Michele to be your realtor and have already recommended her to friends and family!”

“Working with John mad my first time buying a house super easy and comfortable. I trusted John's word and felt confident that he would NOT lead us wrong when looking at houses. He wasn't afraid to tell us the truth if it meant finding out perfect home. I don't think working with another realtor that this would've gone so smoothly. John's working with us will forever be part of my first homeowner experience. And if I were to be selling/buying again I would 100% be working with him again.”

“Caitlin was great both times we worked with her; she was always on top of her game no matter what! She always replied fast to questions or comments, not that there were many of those, given how hands-on she was in explaining everything. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process and had an answer for every question I sent her way. Not to mention how smooth she made the closing process, I thought that was going to be the biggest stressor, but she made it simpler than I thought possible for closing a house! I already absolutely recommend her to everyone I know and have no plans on changing that anytime soon!”

She was super responsive by promptly answering all of our calls and emails. We always felt like we were top priority on her list. From our first meeting to the closing process, Rochelle was by our side. This level of dedication and sincerity is rare in the real estate industry. Rochelle's genuine care and dedication made our journey so much easier and enjoyable. In the end, we found the perfect buyers for our beautiful home. Thanks Rochelle!!”

“Susan helped me sell my dad's house after he unexpectedly passed away in 2025. She was so kind and empathetic about my situation, and very patient as it took us months to empty the house before it was listed. But from the start she worked hard to get us the right resources and information. She was incredibly helpful during the selling process and gave great suggestions on price. She made the process pretty easy!”

“I purchased my first home with the help of Heather Warner. From a quick google search of realators specializing in first time homebuyers I found the Barker Hedges team which led me to Heather. Leaning heavily on her experience I had unwavering faith in her to provide valuable consultation in all aspects of the house buying process. Strongly reccomend Heather to any homebuyers. She simplified the process for me tremedously and will was extremely honest in the house touring process. She will be a strong voice for you communicating at a very high level.”

“I had an exceptional experience working with my real estate agent in selling my house in Plymouth, Minnesota. He provided invaluable advice on repairs, staging, and pricing, ensuring that every aspect of the sale was optimized. He even took the time to show me comparable properties, helping me determine the best listing price. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I’m taking the time to leave reviews on multiple websites. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.”
