Minneapolis Saint Paul Real Estate

A free research tool provided by the Minneapolis Association of REALTORS® have brought together a unique blend of data sharing services for the public. Another FREE service provided by the REALTOR® Community.  Keeping the public informed since 1887, the Minneapolis Association of REALTORS® continues to lead the regional advocacies in research and education for the public, REALTORS® and Brokers serving the 13 County Metro areas of Minnesoata and Wisconsin.

The contents of the weekly report provides the real estate community with valuable resources focusing on the following market trends:  most recent activity going back within 3 months, weekly activity going back 15 months, current number of active listings, average days on market, percentage of original price received at close, Mortgage Rates, the Supply/Demand Ratio, the Housing Affordability Index, and the Housing Supply Outlook.

The story continues reflect the same correction pattern experience over the past year resulting from the 1998 to 2005 real estate boom.  Buyers, sellers and REALTORS® continue to experience a depressed attitude about the market trend.  Campaigns and advertisements are trying to stimulate the buyer community to realise the opportunities available during this market correction period.  Clearly the buyer confidence must be continue to be stabilized by the Mortgage rates, Mortgage Lending programs available and new procedures currently being phased in to replace more liable products from the recent past.  This correction/adjustment we've experience for almost two years is a very normal and healthy period.  It will lead us to a healthier and more stable market condition for all consumers, both forward thinking/proactive buyers today and those planning medium to long range transactions down the road. 

Both builders and sellers alike have not fuelled the supply ratios of available listings most recently with a significant decline in numbers of active listings.  The 90 day forecast for available listing remains flat.  The 90 forecast for pending sales shows an increase of pending and closed sales, no changes in median and average sale prices, no changes in percentage of original price versus closed price, no changes in the Mortgage Rates, no changes in the Housing Affordability Index, and an improved Housing Supply Outlook.

Having summarized a rather detailed report, the market has even pushed further in favor of buyers as inventory typically continues to grow in a spring market.  The mortgage indicators are stable at very favorable rates and better traditional and government sponsored programs available to the consumers.  Investors are looking at the local inventory as an opportunity to leverage their positions in real estate ownership as well.  Currently, there are almost 6 available single family homes for every 1 sale.  Last year at this time there were approximately 4.5 homes available for every 1 sale.  Again, with the median and average prices, mortgage rates and available inventory, the buyers are holding the cards with their turn to play. 

Finally, most consumers typically utilize the Internet to due their due diligence before buying and selling real estate.  That's a great thing!  Consumers have the opportunity to obtain the necessary information before the actually call a trusted REALTOR®.  In the past the majority of consumers simply called someone they knew who held a license at the commerce department.  The Internet now allows consumers to actually find the resourceful professional REALTORS® and actually call and interview them before they have just any licensed agent handle on of their largest assets in their invested history.  The 1998-2005 boom brought out the 'ugly' and the'ruthless' in all real estate affiliations.  The experience professionals continue to help buyer and sellers develop their personal wealth through their real estate transactions even in normal market conditions like today.

Congratulations on affirming your day today!

Best Regards,

IT'S TIME TO REMEMBER,

THANKS TO THE MEN AND WOMEN,

WHO HAVE ENDURED,

STRUGGLED,

SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES,

WE ARE THANKFUL,

WE ARE BLESSED,

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

If you're in the Twin Cities area and are seeking another venue to acknowledge, remember and celebrate our freedom.  Click here please and may your memorial day be blessed.

My goodness.  Do these economists, senior producers and editors have a clue with respect to fuelling another housing-led recession?  Both buyers and sellers are begining to think that it isn't a good time to buy or sell real estate.  Ring all Alarms!!! Let's find a Mortgage Professional and quote his doom and gloom scenario such as:  Robert Moulton, president of Americana Mortgage Group. "I think prices have a way to go down," he said.  MSNBC reports today as a featured story the following headline:  Spring looks like a washout for housing market .  A big drop in applications for new permits indicates the bottom hasn't arrived. 

Well let's hold the fort and do nothing until the bottom has arrived right??? Will the Associated Press announce that also??? I doubt it! When is it the right time to buy?  When is it the right time to Sell?  According to most newspapers it isn't right now.  Helloooo!  What sells newspapers?  Headlines Stories that are generally over-dramatized.  The market is an absolute normal market.  What might be considered abnormal?  Double digit interest rates such as the 1980's; or double digit appreciation rates such as the late 1990's.  We're in a normal market and in fact, it's a tremendous time for first time home buyers, move-up buyers, investors, and sellers who plan on making lateral or step-up moves.  The interest rates are still at 40 year lows and prices have dropped.  Even if they may drop slightly over the next view months as glorifyied in the newspapers; buyers buying now will only be in a better position, because very few people actually time a perfect low buying point with a perfect low interest rate.  Real Estate has been and always will be one of the primary economic forces in the world.  It is the single most largest acquisition for the majority of people.  It is what builds the "American Dream".  Not sure if there is anything else out there that pale's in comparison.

 Consumers, buying and selling real estate are becoming the most informed consumers and they are utilizing the Internet to do so.  Real Estate is the single largest acquisition and asset for most consumers.  There is an amplitude of information available on the national scale and generally, it's designed to be news rather than applicable facts for the consumer in their specific neighborhood.  Getting the facts from a trusted professional their neighborhood is what it's all about.  One who is willing to make them the most informed during their fact finding phase without the hassle's generally associated with exclusive rights, contracts etc etc.  Today's consumer generally find what they are looking for, then find a trusted adviser.  Whether it makes logical sense or not, they do their homework first.  Finding a professional to help along the way shouldn't be a challenge or invasive. 

I welcome comments & opinions.

Best Regards,

Do you want to meet other Local Rainers at a Monthly Social???

We need to have some people time as well as networking time.  In my previous post as I closed, I realized we should consider a networking/social for Local Rainers.

Locally, I'm starting with an invitation to a Veterans Day Party on Memorial day between 5-7pm.  We're hosting a Live Band (The Clintons) at Old Chicago in Uptown Minneapolis.  Great beer, live bluegrass, and great networking/people watching.  Please introduce yourself if you come.  I'll be at the truck giving away flags and stuff in the parking lot, next to the Beer Truck :)

 Directions/Map

 Any other Ideas????

Anybody in???

CNN's Money Magazine will be releasing this year's TOP 100 Small Cities to live.  They utilize Economic and Quality of Life indicators when ranking all of the cities across the nation.  Blaine Minnesota ranked 54th out of a list of 745 cities in the nation in 2006.  Compare Blaine, MN to the Top 10 Cities in the nation by clicking here:

Financially, Blaine's median family income per year is approximately $73,000.  The highest State income tax rate for the highest bracket of income earners is 7.85% versus 5.35% for the lowest bracket.  The job growth rate in Blaine's first 5 years of the millennium was just under 14%, well above the TOP 10 cities.  Blaine's median home price remains at $235,000.  Blaine's air quality, personal and property crime risks ranks much more favorable in comparison to the national index. 

With less than 20% of the city commuting the median commute time is an impressive 23.9 minutes.  Over the years, many Twin City residents interpreted Blaine to be much further from the two downtown areas.  With the newest access points to 35W from Radisson Road, the newest Blaine communities such as The Lakes, TPC, Club West, etc have more options than the over-loaded Highway 65. 

People Searching for quality cities and neighborhoods need access to this type of information in order to make more informed decisions on where to live.  Hope this finds you well.  For more information on area neighborhoods and featured homes click here: Or for information on other neighboring cities, utilize the links on the side bar.
