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

Inventory in Dakota County has grown meaningfully, with active listings up about 21% year over year to 2,138 and new listings also higher than a year ago. At the same time, contract activity has cooled, as homes sold are down slightly year over year and pending sales have slipped more than 6%, creating more options but a slower pace of signed contracts.

Pricing is holding firm despite the softer demand, with the typical home value around $409,000 and up nearly 4% from last year. Median list prices have edged down compared with a year ago, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations even as the average sale-to-list ratio hovers near 100%, indicating buyers are still paying close to asking.

Conditions have shifted toward balance, with months of supply rising to 3, roughly two-thirds higher than last year and matching the statewide level in Minnesota. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell at a median of 33 days on market, and the share selling above list has dipped to about one in four, signaling less bidding pressure than earlier in the year. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these changing dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands the Dakota County market.

“Ryan provided such a wonderful real estate experience for us which all started at the early stages of planning prior to listing our White Bear Lake, MN home. During the early planning stages Ryan provided recommendations and offered guidance to market our home in this unique real estate market. After a few months of planning we listed our home with Ryan and it SOLD in just a couple days. During this time we still had not found our next home to purchase. Within a short period of time and with Ryan's large network we were notified of a new listing coming up. In a matter of a couple days we had signed and had a closing date on our NEW home that we plan to raise our family in. Ryan's truly responsible for making our experience so positive and stress free. Since closing we have recommended Ryan to friends and family. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate professional I would recommended looking no further and start your own experience with him.”

“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.”
