Welcome to your guide to anything and everything related to the Minneapolis real estate market. Looking for property listings, foreclosures, MN short sales, sold MLS listings or information on Minneapolis open houses? Are you considering relocating to the Minneapolis area? As the #1 Real Estate Team in Minnesota, The Minnesota Real Estate Team of RE/MAX Advantage Plus is here to help you with all of your Minneapolis real estate needs. What are the current real estate market conditions? Here in 2013, we are seeing very much of a seller’s market. With only 14,000 plus homes for sale on the MLS here in the Twin Cities, buyers are often competing against multiple offers on the various Minneapolis properties. This is creating a window of opportunity for sellers to be able to sell their homes more quickly and for increased prices compared to recent years.
Minneapolis Home Values and MLS ListingsCurrently in 2013, the median sales price in the city of Minneapolis (numbers through November 2012) has increased 17.9% year over year. In Minneapolis, the median sales price is $165,000 and the average sales price is $213,077 (this is a 14.8% year over year increase.) This is certainly welcome news for our Minneapolis market with prices previously having decreased significantly over the last few years.
Minneapolis Lofts and Condos GuideMinneapolis lofts and condos have undergone massive growth in the past ten years. Recent economic problems over this time period, coupled with overbuilding have increased inventories and reduced prices. In the past year or so, the market however is starting to turn as buyers are finding interest rates at historical lows and prices lower. Traditional lofts remain a little bit more expensive, as there are only so many older, historic buildings in downtown Minneapolis that can be renovated and converted into lofts. However, soft lofts and new downtown condominium projects are bringing more affordable housing to the downtown area. Our team has published a very comprehensive guide to Minneapolis Lofts and Minneapolis Condos - please check it out and let us know if you would like more information on any of these projects. Minneapolis MN Foreclosures and Short SalesThe Minnesota real estate market is currently seeing a smaller number of bank owned listings for sale. There are definitely less REO MLS listings for sale now in Minneapolis (than compared to this exact same time in 2011 or 2012.) The primary reason for this: our team and the overall market is finding more and more lenders working with sellers/borrowers to help them facilitate short sales in Minnesota. What was nearly an impossibility to get closed previously, we are now finding a larger number of short sales in Minneapolis and across the state actually close. For those looking for MN MLS listings that are either short sale or foreclosures, you can search Minneapolis foreclosures here.
