New posted listings for homes in St. Paul, Minnesota, decreased in November according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors’ Market Update for 100 Twin Cities Communities. During that month, there were 398 new listings in St. Paul. In November the previous year, there were 481 new listings. That is a reduction of about -17.3%. The only neighborhoods which saw increases in new listings were the Phalen and Merriam Park neighborhoods of Saint Paul. A decrease in new listings is to be expected now as the winter season really starts kicking up snow. (Barker & Hedges blog entry about October 2008 St. Paul Real Estate Market Activity.)
