I'm back! Spring in here and it's time to talk real estate market in Edina and Minneapolis

It's been a while since I wrote but I'm back in the mood as the spring real estate market begins taking hold in the Edina and Minneapolis housing market. As a native Twin Cities guy I am huge fan of winter and took some time off from writing to just enjoy the holidays and the season. The weather has been unseasonably warm, a blessing and a curse, but its time to start talking about the real estate market in Edina and Minneapolis!

During the 'off season' we still succeeded in selling and buying a good number of homes with our home buyer and home seller clientele. We handled some short sales which seem to be getting a little easier to transact (finally) here in the Edina and Minneapolis real estate market. Our sellers found some success in alternative marking techniques via Facebook and Twitter which helps keep quality, detailed info on their homes in buyers hands.

Historically, January brings new listing into the Edina and Minneapolis real estate market. Sales volume however, doesn't begin to heat up until mid February. On the minds of real estate professionals right now is wether or not this warm winter will spur buyers into action early or not. My money is on the historical trend. Personally, I still feel like winter is going to come, with a vengeance, I just hope by April we are back to sunshine and mud!

Happy new year and best of luck to all, especially to home buyers and sellers in the Edina and Minneapolis real estate market!
