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

Inventory in Barnes County has ticked up modestly, with active listings rising slightly from last month and up a bit from a year ago. Contract activity is mixed, as homes sold are up sharply year over year while pending sales are down significantly from last August.

Prices are adjusting in response to this shifting flow, with the typical home value down around one fifth compared with a year ago and off notably from July. Sellers are also asking less, as the median list price has fallen by roughly one third year over year, yet the average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 97 percent.

Timing has stabilized, with the median days on market hovering at about three weeks and little change from last month or last year. With roughly 4.6 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge, buyers and sellers in Barnes County can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation effectively.

“We cannot say enough good things about Naomi! As first-time homebuyers, we had so many questions, and she was always patient, responsive, honest, and willing to explain everything along the way. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared about our family and finding the right home for us, not just making a sale. She advocated for us, helped us through every bump in the process, and always made us feel like we had someone in our corner. We are so grateful Naomi helped us find a home we’re excited to raise our family in. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor and would choose her again in a heartbeat.”

“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!”

“Jamie since you already know how much we appreciated you and your services I shall make this short. You were so helpful and calm through this entire process which really was assuring for me and my type A personality. It has been a few years since we bought and sold property in North Dakota so it was so helpful to have a realtor that knew all the recent changes in "how it's done". Thanks for keeping us on track with your texts that gave us instructions on "what you need to do now". Everything you provided was valuable. Thank you again,,,,this was a fun experience all due to your great knowledge and personality. Clayton and Coriene”

“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!”

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!!”
