Hey Cami,

Big News: Oil Prices Are Shifting—And So Are Real Estate Opportunities

If you live in North Dakota, you know that oil price changes always make waves. Brent crude recently dropped below $70 per barrel, and while that has some economic impacts, it also opens up exciting opportunities—especially in real estate. (Source: IEA)

But before you assume it’s all bad news, let’s take a closer look at what this means for you.

The Bright Side of Change

☀️ THE GOOD: Gas prices are coming down! That means more money in your pocket for travel, home projects, and enjoying life. Lower energy costs could also help ease inflation, making everyday expenses a little more manageable.

🏡 THE OPPORTUNITY: Real estate could be a major winner in this shift. With the market adjusting, buyers—especially investors—can take advantage of lower competition and better deals. If you've been waiting to buy, now is the time to start looking.

🔄 THE MARKET SHIFT: North Dakota’s economy isn’t just about oil anymore. Agriculture, technology, and real estate continue to grow, keeping the market strong. While oil production is expected to dip slightly (from 1.2M barrels/day to 1.1M), demand for housing and investment properties remains steady.

What This Means for YOU

1️⃣ Thinking of Buying? Now’s the time! Market shifts often bring opportunities to negotiate better deals. If you’ve been considering a home or investment property, this could be your moment.

2️⃣ Investors, Take Note: With changing economic conditions, rental properties and commercial real estate could see increasing demand. Smart investors know that buying in times of transition can lead to long-term gains.

3️⃣ Selling? Timing Matters. While buyers are still active, getting ahead of market shifts can help you maximize your home’s value. The right pricing and marketing strategy will make all the difference.

And Did We Mention the Weather?

North Dakota is absolutely beautiful right now—blue skies, crisp air, and the perfect time to explore new homes or investment properties. Whether you’re looking for a cozy retreat or your next business opportunity, this is the season to make it happen.
