On this episode of Real Estate Chalk Talk on AM1280 The Patriot, the conversation goes beyond listings and loan rates to explore the bigger picture shaping our communities.

As always, the hosts break down the current housing market, analyzing trends in home prices, inventory levels, interest rates, and what buyers and sellers can expect in the months ahead. They also look forward to the future housing market, offering insight into economic indicators, regional growth, and long-term real estate opportunities.

But today’s show took a fascinating historical turn.

The discussion explored the geographical history of Dakota County and how vast buffalo herds once shaped the prairie landscape. Long before subdivisions and commercial developments, the movement of buffalo influenced soil health, vegetation patterns, and the natural layout of the land — laying ecological groundwork that still impacts the region today.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

A breakdown of today’s real estate market conditions

Expert projections for where the housing market may be headed

How Dakota County’s geography developed over time

The surprising role buffalo played in shaping the prairie ecosystem

Why understanding land history matters in modern development

Whether you’re a buyer, seller, investor, or simply interested in how history and land intersect with real estate, this episode connects past and present in a way you won’t want to miss.
