Rogers, MN

Very Very funny video that makes a girl want to go out and help! Word of Peace Lutheran Church in Rogers is collecting food for a food drive and have found a great way to inspire their entire congregation!

I love helping people so this was right up my alley. Thought I'd share it with you today too.

In the meantime... if you are looking to move into the area... I'll wait for you to call!

Happy New Year! The Rogers Real Estate Market had a tough 2008, but you will be happy to know that there were homes selling! The TOTAL number of Sold Single Family Homes in Rogers in 2008 was 108 homes.

Of these 108 homes:

56% of homes sold were priced between $200,000-300,000

24% were priced between $300,000-$400,000

The lowest priced home that sold in Rogers in 2008 was a 3br, 1ba home built in 1946 that sold for $95,000 and the highest priced home sold in 2008 was on over 6 acres on the Crow River in Hassan Township that sold for $680,000.

The average sales price was $267,041, and average Days on Market was 188 days. Sellers received an average of 92% of list price, down from 95% in 2007.

A little bit of good news right now, as of January 17th 2009, there are only 68 Single Family homes on the market, down 30% from the same time in 2007. This means that we currently have between 7-8 months of inventory on the market, which is quite a bit lower than the past few months. The market is considered "balanced" when it has between 5-6 months of inventory.

So if you are thinking about selling, this may be a good time to put your home on the market. But if you are not willing to be aggressive and flexible with pricing and staging, you may as well not list, because buyers are still looking for that 'Deal".

Rogers Homes For Sale

Information taken from the Northstar MLS and North Metro Realtors Association NMRA The 100+ Report.

As of November 30th, 2008 the Market Statistics for Rogers, MN, including Hassan Township

Single Family

85 Single Family Homes for Sale

5 Single Family Homes Pending Sale

6 Single Family Homes closed in the Month of November

100 Single Family Homes Sold in the past 12 Months

This gives us about 10 months of inventory on the market right now. That means that if no other homes were to come on the market, it would take about 10 months to sell off all of the existing inventory. A balanced market will have 5-6 months of inventory. Rogers is clearly a buyers market.

Pricing and staging are the keys to selling in Rogers. There have been many great deals on foreclosures, including new construction, that have put downward pressure on the non-foreclosure homes. The good news is that the Maple Grove market is still hot in the first-time homebuyer price range, which should send some of those buyers to Rogers, where they can find a newer or larger home for less money. Isn't that why a lot of us moved to this beautiful area in the first place?
