How Inventory and Interest Rates Impact Luxury Buyers & Sellers

Across markets in 2025, activity dynamics differ between mainstream homes and luxury segments. Nationally, experts suggest that a balanced market could continue into 2026 as mortgage rates show signs of stabilizing.

In the Twin Cities, tighter inventory has kept the higher-end segment comparatively competitive, even as national narratives mention more buyer leverage. Local data shows new listings and pending sales rising modestly, while days on market for strong listings remain brisk.

For luxury buyers, this environment brings opportunity — especially with experienced guidance on timing, pricing sensitivity, and negotiation strategy. For sellers, the ability to leverage strategic preparation and market timing remains essential to maximize value.
