Testimonial
"I would strongly advise anyone to choose the Helgeson/Platzke Real Estate Group as simply off the charts excellent and surely the best in the business. They were exceptionally professional at every step in the preparation, presentation and then sale process. The expertise we received exceeded the premium commission price we paid, starting with the equivalent of an interior design consultation to best present our home, to a perfect sense for the market, to the final sale price. Highest recommendation!"

A seller's market for some areas of the Twin Cities last month By Jim Buchta
 Might not look or feel like spring, but Twin Cities home sellers are feeling some heat. During March, a big decline in listings and an increase in signed purchase agreements caused an impressive increase in home prices.
During March there were 3,632 closed sales with a median sale price of $176,000, according to data released this morning by the Minneapolis and St. Paul Realtor's associations. That was a 17.4-percent increase in the median price and the 13th consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
The big jump in the median is a result of several factors. Demand is strong and listings are scarce, causing multiple offers in many areas.

5 Reasons You Should Buy a Home NOW!
by The KCM Crew
Many potential buyers are waiting until they can be 100% sure the real estate market has fully recovered before making the move to purchase a home. Here are five reasons why waiting might not make sense any longer:
1.) Prices Are on the Rise
The latest Case Shiller Home Price Index revealed that home prices have appreciated 5.5% over the last year. This is occurring across the nation as increases were reported in 19 of 20 metros. The Home Price Expectation Survey, which polls a distinguished panel of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, calls for continued appreciation over the next five years.
2.) Mortgage Interest Rates Are Expected to Increase
The Mortgage Bankers Association has predicted that, after reaching record lows in 2012, mortgage rates will creep up slowly in 2013 to 4.4%. Rates have already increased by 2/10 of a point (3.32 to 3.53) in the last two months.
