Hi All~
I hope you're experiencing the happiest of new years! As we welcome 2013, it's time to reflect on the past year and look ahead to new and exciting opportunities and changes. We're eagerly ready to engage our routines with a new found sense of purpose.
With the change of the year comes great movement in our housing market. Our local markets reflect prices and buying options picking up, and it will be exciting to see the positive changes reflected over the next few months. Inventory levels in the Twin Cities are at an all-time low at approximately 12,000 listings. It's a sigh of relief for sellers and excitement stirring up in buyers. Believe it or not our Spring market begins in February!
If you or someone you know are considering a move from their current home or possibly into a first home, don't hesitate to call, email or text me!
*** Congratulations to Deb Maloney (7th) and Julie Seidl (13th) for each winning $25 last month ~ Let It Snow!! ***

2013 Housing Market Trends: What Will Be Different Than 2012
By Jed Kolko, Trulia Chief Economist
One year ago, I wrote: "Even the best possible 2012 won't get us halfway back toward normal." That turns out to be true, but barely: the latest Trulia Housing Barometer, for October, showed us that the market is 47 percent back to normal. And this year, we launched the Trulia Price Monitor - which revealed back in March that asking prices were on the rise - one of the earliest indicators of the home-price recovery. All in all, the housing market enters 2013 with strong tailwinds, but that could change.
OUT: Will Home Prices Bottom? IN: Will Inventories Bottom?
The big question this year was whether home prices had finally hit bottom. We now know the answer is a resounding "yes." Every major index shows asking and sales prices rising in 2012.
The key question in 2013, though, is whether prices will rise enough so that for-sale inventory - which has fallen 43 percent nationally since the summer of 2010 - will hit bottom and start expanding again. The sharp decline in inventory was a necessary correction to the oversupply of homes after the bubble, but now inventory is below normal levels and holding back sales, particularly in California and the rest of the West.

Home Staging Tips for Every Season
By Leah Gillis
There is a lot to know about selling a home. And we've covered the topic of home staging as an important factor in attracting buyers. But did you know there are specific home staging tips for winter, spring, summer and fall? It's true - seasonal home staging can better your chances of attracting buyers throughout the year.
Home staging during cold winter months is different than staging in the summer, and with some staging tips you can make the most of your home no matter what the season. For instance, make a patio into a dining area in the summer and don't be afraid to use flower pots in the winter.
