Hello-
Summer is always too short! I hope you keep those vacations going before school starts up again. It's really hard to believe within a few weeks we'll be trying new foods on a stick!
While the Twin Cities real estate market is still hot, you can make that summer move before we get into the fall. The market continues to get better - inventory is low and prices continue to rise - making it an ideal time to list your home. Buyers are still looking for that perfect place to settle in for the holidays. Check out the current market stats on "The Skinny".
If you'd like to sell or list your home or have any general real estate inquiries, please give me a call - I'm here to help.
See you soon!
Regards,

5 Porch Pick-Me-Ups Under $500
 By: Jan Soults Walker
Sprucing up your porch is more than a cosmetic upgrade - it'll boost your curb appeal and help preserve the value of your home. As a bonus, you'll even get some neighborhood bragging rights. Here are five simple porch pick-me-ups, each costing less than $500.
1. Adding architectural pizzazz
Sweeten your porch's appearance with a wide variety of architectural trim pieces in weather-resistant wood or low-maintenance synthetics (PVC or polyurethane). They're readily available at home improvement centers.
Most porch trim pieces install with nails or screws and require basic tools and moderate do-it-yourself skills. Or, hire a handyman for a few hours at $30-$60 an hour.
* Add decorative brackets (starting at $20 each) where support posts meet the ceiling.
* Span the space above porch stairs with a fancy fretwork spandrel ($200 for 6 feet).
* Shapely corbels ($30 and up) lend charm under the eaves.

Top 10 Home Improvements That Pay You Back
 By Tom Kraeutler
If you're planning to sell your house any time soon, home improvements that build property value should be on your to-do list. It's a buyer's market, and between tighter purse strings and plenty of properties to choose from, shoppers want homes that are move-in ready and free of the need for home improvement projects that will add to their own bottom lines.
"There's enough inventory out there right now that buyers can find what they like without having to compromise," says Harrison Tulloss, a ZipRealty agent based in Raleigh, N.C. "They don't have the money or inclination to put in a down payment, get a loan and then turn around and spend more cash to do exactly what they want to improve a property."
Planning home improvements that pay you back at the time of sale requires a strategic vision as well as design, finish and product selections that welcome the widest possible range of buyer tastes. Drawing on tips from real estate pros, along with Remodeling magazine's annual Cost vs. Value Report, here are 10 home improvements that pay you back when you sell.
