Minneapolis housing by the numbers

The longest consecutive monthly period of rising home resale values in the Minneapolis area since 2005 has ended.

The Case Shiller Index released today shows the resale value of homes in the area dropped .7% from September to October. That stops a six-month streak of increasing values; that’s the longest since 2005, when prices increased every month for almost four years.
