Hi all,
I hope you’ve had the awesome week you were expecting. If not, here’s some great info to get you back on track!
Market Update
Interest rates moved up slightly this week, but that hasn’t seemed to put a damper on buyer demand. If you’re a seller, let’s get your home polished up and ready for prime time, because there are plenty of buyers waiting for your home to hit the market. If you’re a buyer, you’ll need to be more strategic in how you compete against other buyers and, maybe, be willing to take a hard look at homes that have been sitting on the market for a while – where there’s less competition.
Bonus Info!
My wife and I are starting to poke around the metro to decide where we want to downsize and that’s put our focus on condos and townhomes. We’re not quite ready to buy yet, but occasionally we see something that’s just so good, we have to share. Here’s one we took a look at last night. If you’re in the market for a Saint Paul condominium and love the charm and character of older homes, this is worth a look! Not an open house, not my listing, but WOW, call me to see it in person!

Amazing interior with hardwood floors throughout. The living room and dining room spaces are combined and make you feel at ease the moment you walk in the door. The recently updated kitchen has new Fisher & Paykel appliances, lots of cabinet space and a ton of room. The second bedroom is nicely sized and has great closet space. The owner’s suite is just huge. I’m guessing this may have been a three bedroom unit at one time, and two were combined to create the suite. Lovely owner’s suite bathroom update, incredible space, nice storage. The whole place is just beautifully updated, charming and welcoming. If you’re in the market and want to take a look, contact me and I’ll set up a showing for you. This place just rocks!
