Congratulations to Brace Helgeson and Ryan Platzke of the Helgeson/Platzke Real Estate Group, Coldwell Banker Burnet Eden Prairie, for selling 240 properties in 2013 with a volume of 84 million dollars, making them the #2 team for Coldwell Banker Burnet in the state of Minnesota. This successful real estate group has been one of the top 3 teams every year for the past 10 years. 

Limited home listings and a particularly harsh winter clipped home sales last month, but with fewer foreclosures and a dearth of options for buyers, prices continued to rise.

During March there were 3,133 closings, a 16.7 percent decline from last year and the fifth month of lower year-over-year sales, according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. The average median prices of those closings was $190,000, a 7.6 percent increase.

"There's a lot of excitement and positive energy out there, especially among sellers," said Emily Green, president of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. "Some would-be sellers have been lifted out from underwater by rising prices and less competition from foreclosures, while other move-up buyers are also eager to buy."
