Minneapolis Monthly Skinny

Every month, the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors compiles these video presentations of the Minneapolis real estate market statistics.  They are just a thumbnail sketch of the market info.  GREAT NEWS for the month of June is that housing prices are up!!! Definitely getting us back on a more even keel.  Bad news is that sales are down for May and June.  No big surprise there.  Ever since the tax credit expired, it’s understandable that we wouldn’t have as many buyers out there.  And, summer is usually another lull time in the market, even in robust times.

Now this video has just the bare essentials.  For more detailed information about YOUR specific area, don’t hesitate to contact me.  Better to have too much information than not enough!!!

CNN-Money Magazine only reiterates what we in the Twin Cities have known for a long time-that Eden Prairie is awesome!  Eden Prairie has low unemployment, the schools seems to rank well in comparison when it comes to test scores and such.  Much as we cannot discuss what areas are better than others with regard to crime rates, their crime rate statistics rank low.  Eden Prairie boasts 17 lakes and over 100 miles of biking-hiking-walking trails!  Of course it’s got some pretty good shopping and restaurants, too.  For those who bought a house for sale in Eden Prairie in the last couple of years, it’s ESPECIALLY  good for you.  The sold prices of homes are going up in Eden Prairie year over year from 2009 to 2010.  And, not just incrementally, but between 7-10% over all.  That’s good news, folks!

With Plymouth, MN ranked number 1 a few years back by the same publication, I’d say Minnesotans have alot to be proud of.  And, much to be thankful for as it will stand us in good stead as the economy continues to improve.

Are you looking for a house for sale in Eden Prairie MN or Plymouth MN?  Make sure you contact me first before you do anything else.  You need to make sure you have an agent who knows how to help you navigate these tricky waters!!!

Sometimes it’s so hard to find information when you need it.  How do you maintain the different components of a house?  What’s going on in the real estate market?  How can I make the most energy efficient improvements to my home?  What’s the latest in mortgage and tax information?  Do I need to buy different insurances for my home?  These are all great questions to be answered.  Check out House Logic.

For more localized information about your real estate market, contact me today.  I have access to information about your area, even your block!  Relying on zillow.com and other real estate based websites is a mistake.  Their information is only as good as the agents who participate in such websites.  So, the information is very limited.  Contact me, a local professional for information on Minneapolis homes for sale, or homes for sale in Minneapolis areas like Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet.  I also have lots of information on downtown Minneapolis lofts for sale and homes for sale in the Western suburbs of Minneapolis.
