With the Thanksgiving holiday now behind us, Lake Minnetonka prepares for its winter slumber after a gorgeous fall season. 

YTD, 122 lakefront properties have sold on Lake Minnetonka compared to 151 last year (-20%) with a median price of $1,942,000 (+11% LY) and average price of $2,597,252 (+29% LY). Though the number of homes sold declined, both the median and average price sold are at record highs. Interesting to note that 25% of the LM homes sold YTD have been cash deals. 

With a current inventory of only 23 lakeshore homes, marginally higher than LY, we continue to see low inventory and strong demand for LM homes. With interest rates moving higher, now is the time to make your move.

As the Lake Minnetonka real estate market goes into its winter slumber, now is your time to put a plan together to make your dreams of lakeshore living come in 2023. I am only a “click” away from helping you find the perfect slice of Lake Minnetonka paradise.  Before you start your search, click on my “Lake Minnetonka Buyers & Sellers Guide” video at https://youtu.be/xiN0jdoabi8.
