Home Sales Statistics Stillwater MN 2011

Snapshot of Stillwater MN by Teri Eckholm REALTOR

In the eastern Washington County community of Stillwater, MN new listings and average sales price were the only real estate indicators with a significant year to year change from 2010 to 2011. New listings were down nearly 21% from 662 in 2010 to 518 in 2011, while closed sales were up by less than 1%. The average sales priced dropped just over 5% to $246,480, down from $260,161 in 2010. Homes are bringing in an average price per square foot of $116 which is much better than other communities in the northeast Minneapolis/St. Paul area but still down a bit from $120/sq ft that homes in Stillwater were getting on average in 2010. Like most other north and east metro suburbs, sellers are getting just over 90% of their asking price; also down from 91% in 2010 but the change isn’t significant The average time on the market to sell a home was pretty flat dropping from 173 in 2010 to 172 in 2011. Again this statistic is comparable to other surrounding neighborhoods. These end-of-year average statistics are just a snapshot of the Stillwater real estate market as it continues to move toward becoming balanced.

Kinderberry Hill Announces Children Book Drive Benefit

Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center, Woodbury MN

In honor of “Read Across America Day”, Kinderberry Hill Child Development Center, Woodbury, announces a Children’s Book Drive to benefit the local nonprofit organization Read Indeed.

The Children’s Book Drive will take place February 20 to March 2, 2012. The community is encouraged to bring donations of new and gently used children’s books to Kinderberry Hill, located at 1205 Woodbury Drive, during business hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Read Across America Day is an annual event that encourages adults to take time to read with a child. It is celebrated on the anniversary of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, March 2.

Read Indeed was started by Maria Keller, a book-loving 6th grader from Plymouth, MN. Maria wants to make the world a better place—one book at a time. She hopes to collect and distribute 1 million books to needy children by the time she's 18. To date, Maria has distributed over 500,000 books around the world.

“As childhood development professionals, we are passionate about nurturing a love of books at an early age,” said Kathy Sjursen, Executive Director of Kinderberry Hill, Woodbury. “We are thrilled to assist a remarkable young lady like Maria Keller in her quest to spread the joy of reading to more children.”

All six Kinderberry Hill locations will participate in the book drive. For more information on the Children’s Book Drive, call Kinderberry Hill at 651-209-6690 or visit www.kinderberryhill.com or www.readindeed.org
