“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!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Brainerd’s rolling three-month data shows home values holding essentially steady, with the typical home value up only a fraction while the share of homes selling above list price has dropped by more than a third. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market rising from 23 to 35 days, signaling buyers have a bit more breathing room than they did last fall.
From a supply perspective, active listings have edged up slightly compared with last year, while months of supply sits at 2.5, still indicating a seller-leaning environment but less intense than prior peaks. New listings are down more than 15 percent year-over-year, and that tighter flow of fresh inventory contrasts with homes sold rising nearly 10 percent, highlighting steady demand.
Looking at pricing and negotiations in the latest rolling period, the average sale-to-list ratio has eased to about 98 percent and only around 17 percent of homes are closing above asking, a sharp decline from over 30 percent last year. With 70 homes sold, 68 pending, and a market gauge still pointing to a seller’s market, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Brainerd agent who understands these shifting dynamics and can help them navigate their next move.

“My realtor Kate Michaels was fantastic. My house sold over asking in only a couple weeks! She was always available to answer my questions and made me feel so comfortable throughout the process. I look forward to working with her again on the next one!”
“Peter was AMAZING!! He helped us from the beginning, and as first time homebuyers we didn’t know much about the process or what to expect, but he made sure to always inform us and help us in every way possible. He went above and beyond, always replying quick and with a kind spirit, sincerely if you’re looking for a realtor, there’s no one better than Peter”
“Skip has helped us purchase two houses now and he was great to work with both times. Very knowledgeable, patient, and helpful through the entire process. Excellent customer service! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.”
“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.”
“Noah provided excellent pictures/media/decsriptions. He was very strategic in marketing my house and I was able to receive more than my asking price. Noah was very responsive and reassuring throughout the whole process. Highly, Highly Recommended!”
“Mason and Mike are hands down the best realtors in the Minneapolis area, especially if you’re looking for an investment property. Mason just helped me find an amazing 4 plex property to add to my rental investment portfolio. He was a bulldog with negotiating and kept at it until we got the deal we wanted! He was on top of every detail and kept me updated from the beginning all the way until the end! The whole process went as smoothly as it could. Both Mike and Mason were super quick to respond to emails, text messages and phone calls. They worked as a team to answer all my questions and concerns with their experience in the rental investment market. I consider them an invaluable asset as I grow my investment property portfolio. I plan to use Mason and Mike again on my next multifamily property purchase as I continue my real estate journey. I highly recommend them for their knowledge of the market, professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to details!”
“We recently worked with Zack on the purchase of our lake home in Lindstrom. He was great to work with and very knowledgeable of the market and the process. And he was quick to respond to all of our questions day or night. We would highly recommend working with Zack on your real estate needs.”
“Dan is easy to work with. He is very responsive to calls, emails and texts. He was with me every step of the way from showing through closing. Dan works with Buyers and sellers and is also a great Pro to have on speed dial if you are an Investor in real estate. I purchased a primary residence using Dan, and have spoken to him about investment real estate and he is full of knowledge and experience.”
“Mike took the time and effort to make selling a childhood home that has been in our family for 50 plus years easy and stress free. Mike took EVERY chance to make me and my wife feel at ease in both the selling and buying process. It was good to know that we were in good hands and felt like family!!! The extensive knowledge that he brought to not only the selling of our home but the buying of our new home was amazing. We choose to Build a house and the transition was smooth and flawless because he took every challenge on for us so that we didn't have to be stressed with them. I would recommend Mike Gerdes without hesitation. Thank you Mike for all the hard work you put in for me and my wife we really appreciated it!!!!”
“Jill Macnamara was unusual as a realtor...for all the right reasons. We've never had a realtor so attuned to the area and so eager to be the best. She worked so hard to sell our home, I felt like it was her home. It wasn't on the market much more than a week before it was snapped up. She staged it; literally brought in furniture and tasteful pictures and knickknacks; I wanted to move back in it looked so nice. She took her own photographs to get our house online early as a "Coming Soon" property, and her professional photographer then did a wonderful job; Jill even had him make a walkthrough video which was a real attention-getter. She knew local cleaners who were excellent (carpet, entire house) and who worked us into their busy schedule because Jill had recommended them. Even after our house sold, Jill was following up to make sure every document, every check, every little detail was complete and that we were satisfied. Wish all realtors were like this. Jill is a gem.”
“Mark made everytging easy and he always had my best interests in mind. He was very accommodating and always available. I was never worried about missing a deadline and he was extremely knowledgeable. I felt taken care of at all times. Mark was always professional and I completely recommend his services.”
“Brandon's knowledge of the area, it's home types, and local codes are outstanding. He listened to what we were looking for and found us the house we were looking for. He has a great personality, we had a lot of fun working with Brandon on our home purchase. I'd recommend Brandon for all your real estate needs.”
