Will Minneapolis Home Values Rise in 2026?

By Mark Callender

Hello, my name is Mark Callender and I am a licensed real estate agent with RE/MAX Results. Because I have been helping families buy and sell their homes for more than 18 years, I am now helping their children to buy their first homes and their parents to downsize. No matter the direction you’re moving, my goal is to make the process as calm and enjoyable as it can be.

As we kick off 2026, I want to address a question that’s likely been on your mind: Is my home’s value really going up?

Over the holidays, I encountered five common questions that I bet you’ve been pondering, too. So, let’s dive right in without all the fluff.

Did my home value increase or decrease last year? One of the biggest concerns homeowners have is whether their property value went up or down last year. Spoiler alert: Your home may be worth more than you think! Many sellers are surprised to find they’ve built equity without realizing it.

Should I sell my home in 2026? With the economy in flux, it’s natural to wonder if now is a good time to sell. Right now, more homes are coming onto the market, and buyer interest is picking up. In fact, during the first couple of weeks of January, I’ve noticed a surge in showings. If you’re considering selling, now might be a smart move.

Is this a good time to buy? Buyers often ask if it’s a good time to jump into the market. Recent rate drops to around 6% have made it more appealing to buy now rather than later. If you wait and rates drop even more, you might face increased competition. Remember the frenzy of 2021? Home prices skyrocketed as buyers scrambled to nab properties.

What’s happening with mortgage rates? You might have heard conflicting predictions about mortgage rates. While no one has a crystal ball, I can tell you that rates have dropped significantly compared to last year. That means it could be a prime opportunity for both buyers and sellers.

Understanding your home’s worth. It’s not just about selling; knowing your home’s value is critical for planning your future. Whether you’re considering retirement, remodeling, or making investment decisions, being aware of your equity is essential.

I had some fantastic closings, and many sellers were thrilled to discover how much equity they had. This knowledge can offer peace of mind and guide your financial planning.

Whether you’re thinking of selling this spring or trying to find a deal before the rush, the best thing you can do is get the facts. There’s no obligation, just clear information to help you make the right move for your future.
