Luck was on my side when I bought my house a decade ago. We got to check it out a few hours before it officially hit the market and immediately made an offer that got accepted. What's even more unusual is that we paid the listing price – a rarity for anyone attempting to buy a house in Minnesota during the past ten years.

The real estate scene here has been wild, with home prices shooting up and properties selling like hotcakes. Most homes are off the market within a day or two, and many sell for way above their listing prices. Zillow is predicting a change in 2024 which could be great news for homebuyers.

Zillow says, "More homes on the market — even the gradual increase Zillow economists expect — would be good news for home buyers, spreading demand and easing upward pressure on prices."
