Welcome!

          

May is here, and we can finally see the homes from beneath the snow and cold.  It's a great time to get your house cleaned, refreshed, and ready for the summer months.  If you're in the market to sell, add instant curb appeal with fresh flowers and plants.

 

We're getting into the busy time for real estate, and it's the perfect time to buy or sell a home.  If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling, please give me a call.

We'll take a look at your home and discuss pricing.  Once we've determined a number, we keep your home on file.

March brings a seller's housing market to Twin Cities

JIM BUCHTA , Star Tribune  

 

Low inventory and high demand helped trigger a 13th month of housing price increases.

 

It might not look like spring, but Twin Cities home sales are heating up.

 

Last month, buyers outnumbered sellers, triggering double-digit price increases and bidding wars in the metro's most popular neighborhoods.

 

"This has certainly been a breath of fresh air," said Kate Beckman, president of the St. Paul Area Association of Realtors.

 

The latest report provides more evidence that the housing market is continuing its recovery despite less-than-ideal shopping conditions.

 

During March there were 3,632 closings with a median price of $176,000 - a 17.4 percent increase over last year and the 13th-consecutive monthly increase in sale prices, according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors (MAAR).

 

The spring thaw normally draws buyers out of hibernation, yet the recent cool temps didn't seem to hamper shoppers. Closing sales were flat compared with last year, but pending sales - an indication of future closings - increased more than 6 percent despite a 31 percent decline in inventory that's stifling an even more pronounced recovery.
