The Minnesota Home Ownership Center has been tracking pre-foreclosure notices in Minnesota since the state legislature required notices to be sent to housing counselors as part of the foreclosure process in late 2008. Recent quarters have shown substantially fewer notices sent out and the Center’s numbers from Q4 2011 continue this trend: While a quarter [...]
After years of price declines, today I am here to say that the Twin Cities housing market has bottomed. Having sold houses for the last nine years I can tell you I’ve seen both the up and the dramatic down of our market… it has been quite the theme park ride! I think we are [...]
Since the housing downturn has started, short sales always have always commanded a higher price per square foot. Well that has now changed. Median Sales Prices are also quickly coming together as well. The rule of thumb in the past was that short sales were often in better condition than a bank owned and so [...]
What are normally the coldest weeks in the real estate market are this year much warmer than normal, just like our weather. We’ve seen huge year-over-year increases in Pending Sales for months now but the weeks ending 12/17 and 12/24 saw 48% more accepted purchase agreements than a year ago.

This is the first time since July 2007 that we have seen inventory [...]
The housing market is full of a mix of Foreclosures, Short Sales and Traditional Sellers. Traditional Sellers today have fewer foreclosures, short sales and other traditional sellers to compete with than last year but the competition is still heavy since we still have far more home inventory than we have buyers for it. A while [...]
Two of my clients this year have bought houses that were difficult to see. The first client was refused only the 1st time. The second was refused the first two times! In both cases the buyers had enough interest to try again but I can tell you that often isn’t the case. I would say [...]
In the last couple weeks I have been searching our local MLS for a couple different clients and find myself frustrated by the lack of information provided. Too many agents today still seem to get away with putting up a photo or two and the barest minimum of information. This makes it terribly difficult to [...]
The Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS has just announced October’s housing numbers and surprises us with a whopper: In October 2011 there were fewer homes for sale than any October since 2004! The inventory of Twin Cities homes for sale has seen a progressive decline since its peak in 2007 and that decline I [...]
