St. Cloud, MN - Real Estate Blog

In the midst of this great recession, I have found myself too busy to handle my own work load.  Crazy I know.  I therefore have scoured the area for the most talented individual to help me with my real estate business.  It turns out, the former Operations Manager at Executive Express in St Cloud, MN was the perfect fit.

Now that she is all done with her schooling and ready to go, it is time to unveil my new secret weapon to the real estate world in St Cloud and anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home in the Central Minnesota area...

Everyone, say "hi" to my wife, Laura as she starts her new career as my partner in real estate sales.

This addition will allow me to field my calls immediately, respond to Internet inquiries at speeds that the public was accustomed to, and allow me to take more than one day off per month:)  I am definitely looking forward to this new set-up.

Now, we just have to teach her the ropes.  My request - if you have a real estate related question that you need answers, try giving Laura a call at (320) 492-8706.  Heck, just call her with silly real estate questions so that we can keep her on her toes:)

Lastly, the team name.  How does everyone feel about t²

   Laura's  new contact information:

   e-Mail:  Laura@StCloudEdina.com

   Phone:  (320) 492-8706

I pulled some numbers recently and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of foreclosures that were sold in the 4th quarter in St Cloud, Sauk Rapids, Sartell, and Waite Park Minnesota.  Here are some rough looks at the numbers.

Units Sold

60 Bank Owned vs. 209 Non Bank-Owned or Not Disclosed.

Average Price Roughly $105K for Bank Owned and Over $150 for Non-Bank Owned or Not Disclosed.

Those are pretty good stats for those of you who are thinking about selling your home in the near future.  While the number of foreclosed units continues to rise, traditional sales are by far out doing the banks sales.

Want the specific stats?  Give me a call or e-mail and I would be glad to provide them for you.

Sales took a sharp nose dive when the tax credit was extended from November 30th to April 30th.  While December is traditionally slower than November, it was exaggerated this year in the number of closings in every area covered.  I would anticipate that January will be slow as well with the number of closings rising drastically in every month from February to April.  Below are the number of units that sold in each zip code covered.

Below are the number of residential homes that were sold in each area during last month.  These are much bigger than the average numbers that I have pulled in the past for November sales.  We might want to give some of the credit for these numbers to the fear that the $8K first time home buyer credit might not be extended.  With the extension of the credit, I expect the numbers for December to be down drastically.

What a great time I had pulling these numbers together.  It is so refreshing to see some hints of a seller's market around the corner.  Have we hit the bottom with these real estate prices??  Look at the report to see what I think.  Nice thing is that prices are definitely rebounding from where we were at last spring.
