December 2011
Another great week for the real estate market. In the Minneapolis/St. Paul area over 800 homes sold in the past week. That is 20 weeks in a row! We are sure to slow down when the snow starts flying, but it is a great finish to 2012. With the crazy market we have had over the last few years, and market times out or the ordinary, December and January should remain strong.
In the western suburbs, we are seeing a more balanced market as inventory continues to decrease. Buyers are out there right now looking for the right home. In many price ranges, there is a shortage of quality homes.
New construction is coming back. Northwest Wayzata School District and all over Chanhassen, new homes are popping up and selling. The parade of homes this year is going to feature some amazing properties.
It is also great to hear about the huge $$ sales the past few weeks. The Greek mansion on Lake Minnetonka, a former hot property sold this week, adding to the large total $2M+ sales on the lake and we sold our beautiful listing in Chimo on the lake in Deephaven. Only 2 days on the market!!
We also have a few great new listings coming on the market soon. If you are looking for something in particular or considering a move, please give us a call. We would be happy to help. Thanks, The Zinns

HOT PROPERTY
Due to the weather, this email has gone back to its original name: Hot Property. Can you believe this Minnesota Fall? If you are reading this e mail now you need to get outside and go play some golf!! (92 this morning) Read this e mail tonight and look at some of these amazing homes and great prices. There really are some good ones below.
The market has been a little hot lately as well. This Fall will definitely show some strong numbers. 3 Zinn Properties sold last week. Inventory is dramatically lower compared to the last few years, not only in the Minnetonka area, but for the entire Mpls/St. Paul region. Things are looking better.
Yes, I will mention one more time…Interest rates. The government has manipulated the market with Operation Twist and home buyers are taking advantage of the best rates ever. The 30 year fixed is now 3.75%. Wow.
If you are considering buying a home, a refinance, or selling your home please let us know. We would be happy to help. The Zinns

The Fall market begins with a few great new listing. We will see some more in the next few weeks. There have been some huge price reductions and unfortuately, new foreclosures and short-sales in the last week.
Total inventory in the Lake Minnetonka area has been decreasing over the last many months, to now where it is at 3 year low. This is great news! If you are thinking of selling or want to cash in on one of the amazing deals out there the Fall can be a great time to buy.
The Fall can be one of the best times to buy or sell lakeshore. I continue to see some awesome homes for sale on the western lakes. We are having our Coldwell Banker Fall Lakeshore Tour this October 2nd, featuring the best homes for sale on the lakes.

Zinn Blog – Minnetonka Real Estate
June 3rd, 2010Minnetonka Real Estate-June-2010
Welcome to the Zinn Blog, where I discuss real estate and homes for sale in the Minnetonka Area.
This last week reminds me of why I live in Minnesota. The parks, lakes, golf courses and everything the Minnetonka area has to offer sure make this a great spot to live. Check out this motley bunch Memorial Day on Lighthouse Island.
While the real estate market is tough, prices have improved and there is steady activity.
There continues to be a high inventory of Minnetonka real estate for sale but sales have been steady. 147 homes closed the Month of May in the Minnetonka Area*. The first-time home buyer credit definitely spurred some activity in the lower price range, but there were also some very strong upper bracket sales. 83 homes closed under 300K, 38 homes closed between 300K-500K, 14 homes closed between 500-1M and 8 homes closed over $1M. This pace of the market is very similar to the pace in March and April.
*The Minnetonka area includes all Municipalities that have borders on Lake Minnetonka and Chanhassen
This is one of the Case Shiller indexes we use we use to help us track the historical value of real estate. This is a national composite and a good indicator of prices locally. Most indexes have the Minneapolis/St. Paul area fairing very well compared to other national markets.
Hot Real Estate Market In The Minnetonka Area
May 19th, 2010We have seen an increase in homes on the market and homes sold over the last few weeks in the Minnetonka Area. It is a great time to buy as there is a lot to chose from and rates have recently gone below 5%. See our home page for some great listings.
Ice Dams on Homes in the Minnetonka Area
February 17th, 2010This is one of the worst years ever for ice dams on homes in the Minnetonka area, and the worst is yet to come. If you are an unlucky victim or you can see a potential issues take steps now. If you live in Minnetonka or the Minnetonka area give a call. We would be happy to help. The Zinns
The Spring Market Begins
February 5th, 2010Real Estate News-
Nationally, we are paying close attention to see what the government is going to do regarding the purchase of mortgage backed securities and the Tax Home Credit. Ending either of the two programs will affect real estate market activity.
If the government continues as scheduled to end the purchase of MBS at the end of March, rates will most likely tick up. The tax credit given to first time home buyers and to some existing home sellers is a great incentive to purchase a home.
Locally, we are seeing increased activity in the market compared to the prior year. The Spring market is on the horizon and activity has started early. Inventory in the Minnetonka area has declined significantly from prior years as good homes are selling. Consistently, the number of homes sold per month is more than the same month in the prior year. Homes at $500K and under have started to see some price stabilization. Upper bracket home prices continues to suffer as inventory levels remain high. Prices on Lake Minnetonka have come down to prices not seen in years.
We all hear about the next wave of foreclosures coming, but in the Minnetonka Area we continue to see just a steady trickle. Hopefully the wave will stop at the coasts. Job growth/cuts will probably play the biggest factor in 2010 regarding the number of foreclosures in the Minnetonka area. Short Sales will also play a large role this year.
We are looking forward to the Spring Market, which seems to be getting an early start, and helping you with any of your real estate needs.
