    There was a big improvement in the real estate market in 2013 across the nation. And, while all real estate is local, the Minneapolis/St Paul market was no exception. We also saw prices rebound quite a bit in communities on both sides of the Mississippi. But when where sellers able to score the best deals? Let me give you a hint. It wasn't in the spring. Many people do think that spring is the best time to sell a home. And yes, it is a good time to buy and sell a home. More home buyers are out looking to make a move when the weather warms up. But surprisingly buyers also move in the winter. And because most sellers are waiting for spring, there are less options for them.  Early in 2013 is when most home sellers were seeing multiple offers in the Twin Cities. There were few good home... 11/26/2013

“I left all the extra paint  under the basement stairs, just in case you want to touch up a few things.”  It's a statement that will often make a REALTOR® cringe at the closing. But it still is an announcement is made by home sellers at closings in Minnesota from time to time. Some home buyers are appreciative, especially if the home was recently repainted and they love the neutral color scheme. But agents, such as myself, will cringe when this hasn't been discussed prior to the closing. Some buyers won't be so happy because paint and other hazardous chemicals are considered to be toxic waste.My husband and I periodically venture into our own little toxic wasteland of cans stored under the basement steps to do a project or touch up a bump or scratch in the paint.

Home market trends in Blaine MN Real estate market data in Blaine MN by Joel Friday of Keller Williams Classic Realty Just received 2 offers on 2 different homes in Blaine MN from a Wall Street hedge fund. They are trying to snap up 3000 homes this month as they see the market heading no where but UP! These are typical low end homes with traditional sellers.

I have no ability when it comes to basketball but as a REALTOR® with well over a decade of experience in the Twin Cities north and east metro, I do know a housing rebound when I see it. Since last fall there has significant activity in the Minneapolis/St. Paul housing market. In the north and east metro, I have witnessed the market turn. The extreme low interest rates have brought out the first time buyers who have literally bought up almost all the listed houses. This is good news…unless you are a first time buyer.. Once again, there are multiple offers on home. In one situation I was in this past fall, there were 12 offers by the time the highest & best deadline arrived. Not familiar with the term highest & best? When there are multiple offers on a home, the seller’s agent notify all... 02/10/2013

        The number of new listings decreased considerably for the second year in a row in Blaine, Minnesota. But unlike 2011, the number of sales, and more importantly, prices have seen a significant rebound.

New listings have dropped so there is considerably less inventory. Homes are selling at a brisk pace with 35 day drop in the average time to sell than in 2011, down from 132 to 97 days on the market.
