Is this the year you are planning on putting your home up for sale?  If your answer is "yes" or "possibly, depending on price" we have a GREAT option for you. We'll take a look at your home and discuss pricing.  Once we've determined a number, we keep your home on file. If/when we have a buyer looking for a home matching your criteria, we give you a phone call to set up a private showing. This really works!

Four and a Half Years Since Prices Have Been This High

 

Minneapolis, Minnesota (May 10, 2013)- The last time the median home price for the Twin Cities 13-county metropolitan area was higher than it was in April 2013 was September 2008, marking the 14th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains. New listings were up 7.7 percent over April 2012 to 7,057 properties, and signed purchase agreements were up 16.0 percent to 5,507.

 

This is the highest pending sales count since May 2006. For the same time period, there were 4,138 closed sales, and inventory levels declined 29.3 percent to 13,113 active listings. Driven by the changing mix of sales, solid demand and falling supply, the median home price for the Twin Cities metro rose 12.2 percent to $182,312. The percentage of all new listings that were traditional, non-distressed homes rose to 77.9 percent, its highest level since October 2007. For closed sales, that figure rose to 68.4 percent, its highest level since July 2008.

11 Ways to Create a Welcoming Front Entrance for Under $100

By: Cara Greenberg

 

Wouldn't it be nice to approach your home's entrance with a grin instead of a grimace? Take our tips for beating a clear, safe, and stylish path to your front door.

 

First impressions count - not just for your friends, relatives, and the UPS guy, but for yourself. Whether it's on an urban stoop or a Victorian front porch, your front door and the area leading up to it should extend a warm welcome to all comers - and needn't cost a bundle.

 

Here's what you can do to make welcoming happen on the cheap.

 

1. Clear the way for curb appeal. The path to your front door should be at least 3 feet wide so people can walk shoulder-to-shoulder, with an unobstructed view and no stumbling hazards. So get out those loppers and cut back any overhanging branches or encroaching shrubs.
