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

Inventory in Steele County has grown, with active listings up about 16 percent from last year and sitting at 168 homes. Months of supply has climbed to 3.8, more than doubling year over year and signaling a clear shift away from the tighter conditions seen earlier in 2026. Even so, only 34 homes sold in September and pending sales are down more than 12 percent from a year ago, showing slower contract activity.

Prices are adjusting to this cooler pace. The typical home value is down slightly year over year, while the median list price is up sharply, nearly 29 percent higher than last September, suggesting sellers are testing higher asking prices despite softer demand. Homes are taking longer to move, with median days on market stretching to 49 days, up about 28 percent from a year earlier and more than double from August.

Bidding intensity has eased as well, with only about 21 percent of recent sales closing above list and the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. Compared with Minnesota overall, Steele County offers lower typical sale prices than the state median, yet inventory is a bit higher relative to sales, giving buyers more options. With conditions balanced between buyers and sellers in this neutral market, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with a local agent who understands how to navigate today’s trends.



Learn more about what Steele County has to offer.

Steele County offers residents a welcoming community, robust local services, abundant outdoor recreation, and thriving opportunities for families and businesses.

Steele County stands out from nearby Rochester and the Twin Cities with its balance of small town ease and strong regional access. Anchored by Owatonna, the county offers a cohesive community identity where local schools, parks, and events still shape the rhythm of daily life.

In Owatonna, families gather at Lake Kohlmeier Park for swimming and trails, while downtown’s historic buildings house local shops, coffee spots, and the Owatonna Arts Center. The Village of Yesteryear and Steele County Free Fair highlight deep local roots and a strong agricultural base. Nearby Medford and Blooming Prairie offer quieter streets and quick commutes to larger employers along Interstate 35 and Highway 14.

Quality of life is shaped by accessible schools and services. Families research options such as Owatonna Public Schools and make use of local resources like the Owatonna Public Library. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate county parks, river corridors, and easy drives to regional hubs like Rochester and Mankato, while still returning to a close knit community feel in Owatonna and Medford.

Whether you are planning to move within Steele County or relocating from farther away, timing and preparation matter in this evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right local real estate professional to navigate that process confidently.

“When we started thinking about buying a house, a friend of ours who had recently sold their house recommended their realtor Alex Mayer. Having worked with Alex for 6 months now, he stands above the rest as a realtor. As first time homebuyers, we really appreciated how Alex met us where we were at. After we reached out, Alex met us quickly and explained everything from what to look for in a house to how to put together a winning offer. His focus on education was invaluable, and with each house we viewed, we learned more and more about what we needed our house to be. Alex’s patience and communication helped our confidence throughout the process, too. Alex was a great resource for connecting us to lenders, insurance agents, and other people who could help us make buying our first home happen. We looked at a LOT of houses together. But when we found the one that checked all the boxes, Alex did everything in his power to give us the best chance and made sure we were informed and comfortable at every move. It was a privilege working with such an exceptional realtor!”

“Al Hawkins was a pleasure to work with as first time home buyers! He was very responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. I truly appreciated how he handles feedbacks and his openness to talk through them and provide recommendations. He was literally with us every step of the way leaving no room for assumptions or confusion. My wife and I are blessed to have worked with Al as an agent that became a friend.”

“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!”

“Heather was excellent with great communication. She has excellent knowledge of the Albert Lea market and she was able to help us get the most for our home. She was also very helpful in negotiating an acceptable outcome for the home inspection items. I would highly recommend her for selling/buying property.”

“Choosing Emily to be my realtor when looking for a house in the Rochester area was the best decision I could have made. She had all of the great qualities you would expect from a realtor, but what made the biggest difference for me was her connections to other great people in the industry. She gave me great recommendations for comparing and choosing financing, inspections, maintenance, and services in Rochester. When I found the right place, her offer recommendations were the difference in winning our bid. I couldn’t be more grateful for Emily helping me end up in my perfect home.”

“Matt was exceptional in all aspects of the home buying process! As a first time home buyer, he did a great job answering all of my questions, making sure I fully understood his explanations. He was incredibly timely in his responses and any action taken to get me closed on the house and soon as possible. Not only did he do an outstanding job helping me buy the house, but he has created a lasting relationship with me and I truly treasure him and what he has done for me!”

“Navigating the home buying journey can be overwhelming, especially when you're uncertain about what you're looking for—but working with Wyatt made the entire process feel clear, empowering, and even exciting. From day one, Wyatt was an absolute pleasure to work with. His deep knowledge, calm demeanor, and thoughtful guidance turned my uncertainty into confidence. I started out unsure of the right neighborhood or home style for my needs. Wyatt patiently walked me through the pros and cons of various areas, helping me understand how each choice could impact me and my family’s lifestyle. He showed me a variety of properties and never rushed the process—instead, he helped me refine my preferences while respecting my pace and priorities. Every conversation with Wyatt was about possibilities and choices; never sales tactics. He explained each option thoroughly and encouraged thoughtful discussion about how these choices would affect my future. After a month of searching, Wyatt remembered a home I had loved but had set aside. He revisited it with me, and together, we crafted a compelling offer that ultimately secured the property. I truly couldn’t have done it without him. He was always just a phone call away—whether to strategize or simply talk through my thoughts. What sets Wyatt apart is his genuine customer-first mentality. He’s not just an agent—he’s a trusted advisor who cares deeply about your goals and peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking not just a home, but a smooth and supportive journey to finding it.”

“If you’re in search of a truly compassionate, patient and experienced realtor, I can’t recommend Travis Sommerfield with North Star Homes Team enough. He brought a wealth of knowledge, kindness and humor to the table, ensuring that every step of our home sale was as smooth as possible. Travis was always just a call away and more than generous with his time, even outside of business hours. Ready to assist us with home repairs and connecting us with the right contractors to get tasks completed to get our house to market. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, we sold our home for an astonishing $45,000 over asking price in a slower market! We will always be grateful for the countless hours and effort Travis invested in our success. Not only is Travis a great realtor but he is an even greater person and you will not be sorry if you hire him. Such a pleasant person and experience. Thank you times a million Travis!”
