Year-over-year, Stearns County home values and prices have pushed higher, with the typical home value and median list price both up modestly compared with last May. At the same time, active listings have climbed by double digits from a year ago, signaling more options for buyers even as the county continues to sit in seller’s market territory.
Looking at the latest month of May 2026, homes sold jumped sharply from April, while new listings actually slipped, tightening conditions for those shopping this season. Inventory stands at 2.1 months of supply, down from the prior month and below the statewide 2.6 months, which underscores how quickly desirable properties can be claimed.
Market pace has shifted noticeably from last year, with median days on market now at 25, far higher than a year ago but improving steadily from winter highs. Even with that slower tempo, roughly half of homes go off the market within two weeks and about one in four sell above list price, supported by an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent.
