It's June! The first day of summer is only weeks away. The question still remains: where's summer?
When it finally arrives, we will remember why we wait so long & appreciate it so much. We truly enjoy all the wonderful activities Minnesotans love-- barbeques, bonfires, warm days on the water, late nights in the fragrant outdoors, night sounds, catching fireflies, and visiting with friends and family.
We are in the very middle of the busy real estate season. It's a great time to sell and it's an ideal time to find exactly the right home and start planning your own special summer celebrations. If you start today, there still would be plenty of summer left by the time you move in!
If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling, please give me a call.
Warm Regards,

Many people shopping for real estate today are younger than previous generations of home buyers, and they're extremely tech savvy. They grew up with smartphones, apps, and Google searches. And they want to use technology not only in their search for a home but throughout the home itself.
A recent survey by Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate shows that 77 percent  of Gen X & Gen Y home buyers want their homes "equipped with the technological capabilities they have grown accustomed to." And it doesn't stop there. This new generation of home buyers is "rewriting the rules to home ownership and reinterpreting traditional norms to fit their values," says Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate.
These aren't your standard-issue young home buyers from 30 or 40 years ago, who were often married couples looking for a starter home in the suburbs to raise a family. Today, single women make up a large percentage of first-time buyers, as do gay couples and the always-connected mobile professional.

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.
Seller activity was up 7.7 percent overall, while traditional new listings were up 28.0 percent, foreclosure new listings were down 25.6 percent and short sale new listings were down 39.5 percent. The 10K Housing Value Index - which controls for data variability - showed an 8.5 percent increase to $181,381. With only 3.1 months supply of inventory, more seller participation in the market is important to continued recovery.
