Yes, but only if you match your timing and expectations to the current pace
Trying to buy without overpaying in Edina, MN usually comes down to one question can you stay patient without getting left behind? Yes, but only if you respect the current pace, because a typical sale took 28 days last month and supply remained tight at 0.82 months.
The market is not giving buyers endless second chances. Recent closed homes reached a typical price of $1,647,500, and the typical asking price among active homes was $1,550,000. In Edina, MN, that gap tells me buyers need to judge each home on its own merits instead of assuming every list price creates room to negotiate. I would not treat this as a market where you can casually circle back after a week or two and expect the same leverage. Over the last three months, pending homes had a typical asking price of $995,000 and a typical time to contract of 22 days. That is a useful reminder that well-positioned homes are still getting absorbed at a steady clip. Tour with a decision standard already set. Narrow your list to homes you would truly write on, not just homes you would watch. Keep contingencies focused and practical so your offer stays competitive without becoming reckless. Ask for terms that matter, but do not confuse hesitation with negotiation.
