Mankato-North Mankato, MN

There is no doubt that the Mankato-North Mankato, MN metropolitan statistical area (MSA) has been one of the hottest housing markets in the country over the past few years. The combination of strong job growth, low interest rates, and limited new construction has resulted in rapidly rising home prices and extremely tight housing inventory levels.

Looking forward, it is unclear how long this trend will continue. Interest rates are expected to rise in the coming years, which could put a damper on demand. Additionally, new construction activity is finally starting to pick up in the MSA, which should help to alleviate some of the pressure on prices.

That said, even with these potential headwinds, it is still expected that the MSA will remain a desirable place to live and that demand for housing will remain strong. So, although there may be some moderation in price growth going forward, it is still expected that overall values will continue to rise at a healthy clip.
