By Christopher Leigh | July 9, 2025

Why Delistings Are Rising in Fargo-Moorhead

Nationally, delistings jumped 47% in May 2025 compared to 2024, with 13 homes pulled for every 100 listed, up from 10 last year and 6 in 2022. In Fargo-Moorhead, this trend is evident, though less pronounced, with about 10% of listings delisted due to unmet price expectations. “Sellers in Fargo-Moorhead are holding firm on prices, backed by strong home equity,” says Christopher Leigh of Team Vision Realty. “Many choose to wait rather than negotiate.”

The Fargo-Moorhead market remains balanced, with 784 active listings (up 28% year-over-year) and median home prices steady at $387,160 in West Fargo and $299,098 in Moorhead. However, 17% of West Fargo listings and 15% of Moorhead listings saw price cuts in June, reflecting seller flexibility. Homes now spend a median of 90 days on the market, up from 84 days last year, giving buyers more time to decide.

Expert Tip: “Buyers have more negotiating power now,” says Christopher. “Use this window to secure a home in neighborhoods like Prairie Meadows before prices rebound.”

• What to Do for Buyers:
  • Browse Fargo-Moorhead homes for sale to explore growing inventory.
  • Negotiate price reductions or closing cost assistance, especially in Prairie Meadows, Moorhead.
  • Work with a lender to lock in rates, currently around 6.8%.

Opportunities for Buyers in a Shifting Market

The Fargo-Moorhead housing market is becoming more buyer-friendly, with increased inventory and longer market times. Unlike Southern and Western markets like Phoenix, where delistings hit 30 per 100 new listings, Fargo-Moorhead’s stability keeps it balanced. “Good homes are still selling in about a month,” says Christopher, echoing local experts who note the market’s resilience despite national shifts.

Buyers can capitalize on this trend in neighborhoods like The Wilds in West Fargo, where modern homes start at $350,000, or Southdale Farms in Horace for single-level designs. Price cuts are more common, with 17% of listings offering reductions, giving buyers leverage to negotiate. Explore all active listings in The Wilds.

Expert Tip: “Price cuts are creating deals in Fargo-Moorhead,” says Christopher. “Act now to secure a home before the market shifts.”

• What to Do for Buyers:
  • Use our Mortgage Calculator to estimate payments for a $300,000 home, around $1,565/month at 6.8%.

  • Get pre-approved to strengthen your offer.

Sellers in Fargo-Moorhead face increased competition with 784 active listings, up 28% from last year. High equity levels—boosted by $34.7 trillion nationally—give sellers flexibility to delist if prices aren’t met. “Sellers expecting peak 2022 prices may need to adjust,” says Christopher. In Fargo-Moorhead, median prices are stable, but 17% of listings have price cuts, signaling buyer selectivity.
