## The Brief:

The West Metro is entering a "Thoughtful Market" phase. We have moved past the era of blind bidding wars into a landscape defined by intentionality and due diligence. While the extreme sellers' advantage of the early 2020s has stabilized, high-demand pockets in the Wayzata School District continue to command premium positioning.

### 2026 Core Intelligence Data:

- **Median Values:** Plymouth’s median home value has climbed to approximately $523,000 (up 13.6% YoY), while Wayzata’s luxury list prices have reached a staggering $2,399,000.
- **Inventory Trends:** We are currently tracking 2.0 to 3.1 months of supply across the metro. This "Golden Window" provides buyers enough time for inspections while keeping sellers firmly in control of pricing.
- **Luxury Momentum:** High-end transactions (homes over $1M) remain the most active segment, showing a 11.5% increase in pending sales compared to last year.
- **The "Reset" Signal:** Roughly 19% of active listings have seen recent price adjustments, signaling that buyers are no longer overpaying for unpolished properties.
