Sold: Seasonal Activity Levels Out in Mendota Heights

Back in the olden days—five years ago—the real estate market had a timetable you could count on.

The busy spring market began on the day after the Super Bowl. Buying and selling slowed considerably after Independence Day and a second wave of house hunting began in the fall just after Labor Day. That fall flurry gradually slowed until Thanksgiving, after which only diehard buyers would be looking at homes.

No longer.

Today, except for the winter holiday season when the market freezes solid, home sales in the Mendota Heights area are slow but steady. There is a slight increase in sales during warm weather, but if you are selling a home, don’t expect large fluctuations in the timing of the market.

Last week, one home changed hands in the Mendota Heights area.
