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

Since the peak of the housing market in 2006, however, home resale prices in the Minneapolis area have dropped 27 percent. They're up 18 percent since the bottom of the housing market in 2011.
