4th Quarter = Buyers Market

It is that time of year again...winter.  This is the time of year that everyone wants to take their house off the market and wait until the spring market.  Why?  Do buyers stop buying in the winter? No, they continue to buy all year round although they do get frustrated with the lack of good inventory.

The truth is the prices have gone up since last spring.  The median sale price for a home in April, the height of the spring season, was $233,000 and in September it is $239,000.  During this same time period there were 9,718 homes for sale in April 2015 and only 9,313 in September 2015.  The average days on market is the same about 43 days.

Now is the time to put your home on the market and sell it in time to go to your favorite warm weather spot for the winter!

2,300 SF all above ground square footage in the heart of SLP for $239,900!

3338 Brownlow, St. Louis Park, MN

This is a home that was owned by a the same home owner since the 1970's.  It has been well taken care of yet not updated. The key to this house is the fact that it has 2,300 SF above ground!  Most homes in this area are around 850 SF  and the rest is remodeled basements or you need to bend over while you go to your master bedroom in the attic!

The basement on this home is not finished and is the size of the original house which is about 850 SF.  There is an addition on this home which includes a formal dining room, a family room with a fireplace and a large deck on the first floor. The second floor has two large bedrooms with a jack and Jill bathroom and a balcony!

There aren't any other homes similar to this as far as the developed garden, the two decks, paver patio and upper deck overlooking the fenced in yard.  It is listed for the fantastic price of $250,000 or $104 per square foot compared to the rest of the market in that area which the average square foot is $161.

This would have gone very quickly a few months ago but the owners are very conscientious about their home and they wanted it to be repainted, cleaned and ready for the next owner.  No worries it is move in ready and just needs a little TLC!

Walking distance to the high school, K-5 Spanish immersion school, library, Paul Frank field, and Oak Hill Park. Close to Knollwood Mall, Methodist hospital, and future light rail access.
