I wanted to check in because I’ve had a lot of people ask me about what to expect in the Real Estate market this year – there are a lot of moving parts that I would love to update you on.
As you no doubt already know, interest rates are much higher now than we have seen in the past several years.

Sometimes buyers know that a house is “THE” house the minute we drive up. This makes curb appeal one of the first things you should consider when getting your house ready to sell.
1. Look at your House like a Buyer Staging is all about putting the focus on the highlights of your home – and taking away the distractions. You may have spent a long time getting the inside of your home ready, now it’s time to go ..read more

The Market Meter shows the current pace of the market in the Twin Cities that a buyer or seller is likely to experience. It factors in the average showings per week per listing “demand”, inventory of homes “supply” and affordability. 0 to 1.99 is a strong Buyer’s market, 2 to 3.99 is a Buyer’s market, 4 to 5.99 is a stable market, 6 to 7.99 Seller’s market, and 8 or higher is a strong Seller’s market. If it goes above 10 or below zero then it is in an extreme market condition.
