Speed still favors sellers in 2025, but the playbook has shifted from 2021–2022. Here’s what actually works right now:
Price aggressively accurate—within 1–2% of the three most recent comparable sales. Overpricing by even $15K can add 30–60 days on market.
List on Thursday morning for maximum weekend showings.
Invest in professional photography and light staging (declutter + fresh paint where needed). Homes with pro photos sell 68% faster locally.
Offer a pre-listing inspection and sewer scope—buyers love transparency and it eliminates most repair negotiations.
Highlight energy upgrades (new furnace, windows, insulation) and any paid-off solar panels—huge selling points in Minnesota winters.
Hot neighborhoods selling in under 14 days: Fulton, Kenny, Linden Hills, Highland Park, Macalester-Groveland, and parts of Northeast Minneapolis. If you need absolute speed (divorce, job relocation, etc.), local cash buyers and iBuyers are paying 92–98% of market value and closing in 7–21 days with zero repairs or showings. You’ll leave a little money on the table, but the convenience can be worth it.
