The Spring Selling Season: New Listings by Month

The Twin Cities Spring real estate market is a bit of a chicken and egg question.  Do the buyers come out first, then the sellers respond by putting their homes on the market? Or, do the sellers put their homes on the market drawing out buyers?  What we've seen as a general trend in the Twin Cities, is; over the years, there has been a reliable pattern that sellers begin to put homes on the market in February, after the Super Bowl. From there, the numbers of new listings per month continues to rise.  It will be interesting to see how the 2017 market plays out.

The real estate market in Minneapolis' Southwest neighborhoods, as demonstrated in the chart below, displays the typical cyclical nature of the…

Spring 2017 | People For Parks

Giving Back to Our Parks

The beauty of Minnesota is its seasons, we have them all. Summers heat seems to be finer due to our cold, and sometimes harsh winters. The splendor of Fall is leaves changing to brilliant colors that stop us in our tracks and inspire us to go on long walks bundled in cozy sweaters. In Spring, when the chill of winter slowly departs and we venture out from our hibernation to take our activities outside as often as possible to our parks, playgrounds, lakes and trails.

This Spring, throughout April and May, as we celebrate the coming of green grass, the blooming of flowers and the warming of our lakes, we’re donating $100 for every new listing we put on the market to the local non-profit People for Parks.…

Aerial Drone Footage | 2440 Old Beach Road | Orono

Yes, it's December and the days of summer are long behind us. And, with that, days spent on the lake soaking up the sun and swimming in the cool waters. But, here's your chance to step back in time and yearn for days gone by with drone footage of an incredible listing for sale in Orono.

Situated in Lafayette Bay, on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, this home rests on 1.40 acres and 180 feet of gorgeous shoreline.
