Owatonna, MN Real Estate Market Update

We've seen an increase in buyer activity and I've recently seen competing offers on several properties (just like the old days). 

Interest rates are down from this time last year.  We have a terrific selection of homes.  Employment remains steady and the economic outlook for Owatonna and our region looks very positive.  We're so fortunate to have a variety of employers who cross into diverse industries.

Summer is around the corner and we're seeing the trees and allergies in full bloom.  Now we just need a little more warm weather - I'm sure it's on its way.  It's great to be able to enjoy four distinct seasons, with plenty to do year round.
