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.  Please feel free to call tor discuss some of the properties that will be on tour.

Minnetonka Real Estate-June-2010

Welcome to the Zinn Blog, where I discuss real estate and homes for sale in the Minnetonka Area. 

 yacht club  

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

 

index cahrtThis 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.
