About Isanti County, MN

Lets look at the positive of the down market...THE PRICES ARE WAY LOWER SO NOW MORE BUYERS CAN GET INTO A HOME AT A GREAT PRICE.

If you are looking to purchase your first home or a rental property now is a great time. For buyers in Isanti County in Minnesota (cities such as Cambridge, Braham and Isanti), there are a lot of good homes for under $100,000. In fact many of the town homes are nice, clean, newer and move in ready for about $80,000 right now. It makes sense for most people to buy that nice newer town home instead of paying for rent.

Even some nice regular houses have seen prices drift down toward the $100,000 mark. With first time buyers incentives like the $7500 tax credit, and overall low interst rates now is a perfect time to get into a home.

For investors now is a good time to BUY LOW. If you know someone that has gone through foreclosure they might be looking to rent. Buy a home for that person to rent if you feel they are back on there feet. It becomes a win-win situation and hanging on to the home long term with yield solid returns.

Finally, buying a home is going to help the economy because it circulates the money and with enough people buying the market and the economy with stabilize faster!!!

With Isanti County in Minnesota being one of the largest per capita foreclosures areas in the state this presents a great opportunity for REAL ESTATE INVESTORS!

Almost daily I talk to someone who needs a RENTAL and just is not able to buy because they have credit problems. Many of them are currently in the Foreclosure process. Of those people many of them over estimated future value and got into a bad mortgage such as an ARM.

Cambridge and Isanti, MN has started to hit a price bottom. Especially this time of year. Some of the BANKS have finally dropped prices enough to move the vacant homes. Others will look at offers which does allow an investor to buy the home right and perhaps sell the home to a buyer in need on a Contract for Deed or Rent to Own.

Call me at 612-290-3809 if you are looking to buy an investment property or if you are needing to find an investor to buy a home for you!

Cambridge, MN Real Estate...many deals for buyers!

Its a great time to buy a home. The proof is in the numbers. $130,000 is an affordable home for many people. I pick this price because you can stay close to $1000 on the monthly payment. There are also homes around $100,000 and with that you might be at $800/m on the payment.

At those prices you should be a HOME OWNER and not a renter. Right now there are 59 active listings under $130,000. There are currently 16 sales pending in that price range meaning the supply and demand is still out of balance.

Many of the active homes are bank owned. This time of year its wise for the banks not to sit on properties in Minnesota heading into the winter. Buyers its time to get out there and get yourself a great deal on the house. Don't expect half off, but with the right house you might get an additional $20,000 off.

Don't rent if you can own. Call me for your Cambridge, MN and Isanti County Real Estate needs.

Amazing how much gas prices have dropped! Today I purchased gas in my home town of Cambridge, MN for $2.39/gallon. I was on 1/4 of a tank and I had to force the amount to get up to $25.00 even.

When I was at my brothers in Rochester, MN yesterday I fueled up for $2.76. I went through many other cities in the last two days and Cambridge has the best gas prices I have seen!

Perhaps you can share what gas prices are at in your area?
