I would watch the sale timeline first if I were buying in Lakeville.

When I am working with a buyer in Lakeville, MN, I want the first question to be simple are the homes worth pursuing moving fast enough to keep the process steady? The answer right now is that a typical sale took 28 days last month, so Lakeville still gives buyers time to think, but not time to wait around.
Lakeville's recent sold price sat at $468,000 last month, while the market's median list price held at $575,000. That spread tells me I need to stay sharp on value, because the homes that make sense are the ones that line up with the asking range buyers are already meeting. I would use that pace to my advantage. When homes are taking about a month to sell, I can be selective, but I still need to move quickly on the right property in Lakeville, MN because the better homes will not sit forever. Review the list price against recent sold prices first. Line up your showing schedule around the faster-moving homes. Be ready to act once a home checks the value and pace boxes.
