New inventory outpaced closings this week.
The market is moving, but it’s rewarding the listings that feel clean and low-friction early.
1-Minute takeaway
New inventory outpaced closings this week. Buyers are active, but selective.
What happened
New inventory outpaced closings this week.
Week ending Aug 8, 2025.
10 new listings arrived while 5 sales closed. When options increase, urgency usually drops and sellers get pushed toward clearer price discovery.
Sales that explain the market
Demand is there, but it’s disciplined.
- Lot 23-101-51 Rivermount Place - $935,000 (listed $929,000) - 15 DOM (quick clear - over ask)
- 4259 Cokato Road - $2,549,000 (listed $2,399,000) - 22 DOM (normal clear - over ask)
- 302 2nd Avenue - $1,125,000 (listed $1,150,000) - 44 DOM (normal clear - under ask)
More sales this week
- 23 Alpine Trail - $1,149,000 - 138 DOM
- B7-60 Cokato Road - $380,500 - 18 DOM
The outcomes stayed mixed - the winners tend to be the listings that feel straightforward from day one. This week’s sold mix: 3 over ask, 2 under ask.
The Board
Price discovery is happening in public.
- Price cut: 105 Castle Mountain Road $3,900,000 → $3,670,000
- Cleared: 23 Alpine Trail - sold after 138 DOM
These moves usually show where buyers are pushing back - and where sellers are adjusting quickly.
New listings worth noting
More choice is slowing buyer urgency.
Even a small increase in new inventory gives buyers more direct comparisons - and that usually makes them slower to stretch.
Market example
105 Castle Mountain Road - $3,670,000
Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.
Also new this week
- 301 Highway 3 - $2,495,000
- 9 Lodge Trail Lane - $2,195,000
- 404-800 Riverside Way - $1,039,900
- 402-800 Riverside Way - $1,009,900
- 403-800 Riverside Way - $989,900
Next week I’m watching
Whether the clean listings get picked off early. If the clean listings move early, demand is still there under the surface. If they sit, pricing will do more of the work.
My take
Buyers will wait, then move fast when it fits.
More listings doesn’t automatically mean more sales. It means buyers can compare harder - and the homes that feel low-friction usually move first.
