Oakdale MN Closed Sales Dec. 2011 - Durham Executive Group
As a real estate agent we like our clients and for those considering putting their home on the market to stay informed on housing trends for Oakdale MN. Subsequently, my research this morning shows me while some home depreciation in Oakdale has continued there are some key positives. My research clearly indicates that the number of Oakdale homes for sale has declined steadily for the past two years. Of special interest is that there has been a slight increase (+0.5%) in the number of homes sold over the past twelve month period in Oakdale (this information has been researched from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors).
The positive in this statistic is the old supply and demand equation. With the continued decline in the total number of Oakdale MN homes on the market we are definitely starting to see the very early signs that Oakdale is moving more and more into a seller’s housing market. Oakdale currently has a 4.9 months' supply of homes for sale meaning that on paper Oakdale is officially in what we traditionally consider a seller’s housing market (below 5% is considered a seller’s housing market).
Keep in mind that homes sell all year and not just in the spring. Sometimes home sellers mistakenly believe you cannot sell a home in the winter months, but that isn't the case. In fact, there generally is a lot less competition as many people pull their homes off the market until spring.
Woodbury MN Closed Sales Dec. 2011 - Durham Executive Group
As real estate agents we like our clients and for those considering putting their home on the market to stay informed on housing trends for Woodbury MN. Subsequently, my research this morning shows me while some home depreciation in Woodbury has continued there are some positives. My research clearly indicates that the number of Woodbury MN Closed Sales Dec. 2011 has significantly increased over the past twelve month period. Of special interest is that there has been a 9.5% increase in sold homes during this period in Woodbury. This information has been researched from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors.
This information combined with the continued decline in the number of Woodbury MN homes for sale on the market is why the Durham Executive Group is seeing more and more of a 'balanced housing market' in Woodbury. With a 6 months' supply of homes for Woodbury we are not far off from what is traditionally considered a balanced housing market.

Testimonials- What others say about John and Becky...
Becky and John, "thank you so much for all the work you did for us with the sale of our home. We have sold three houses in the last 7 years and have never had agents as professional and motivated as both of you. You truly have gone above and beyond during this stressful period. Because of you we sold the house in less than 5 weeks during a really bad selling period at a price we were very happy with. I would highly recommend both of you. It was a great pleasure doing business with both of you."
Thanks again!
Angela & Bernie Bagdzinski
"John and Becky were outstanding! The advantages of their professional background quickly became apparent from the measured approach they took to the whole real-estate transaction. Starting off, John and Becky helped us narrow our search to accommodate our likes and dislikes. They concluded their top-notch service by negotiating a better than expected closing price. As first time homebuyers, John and Becky's hardwork and professional expertise were essential to finding our perfect home".
Mark and Marit Sullivan
"The Durham Executive Group provided exceptional customer service while marketing my home. I feel John is honest, tenacious, and has a remarkable understanding of the Woodbury real estate market."
Darla Carlson
"Desperate to sell my home during one of the worst economic housing markets, I felt reassured with John and Becky's honesty and confidence. After just 8-days on the market the Durham Executive Group sold my home for full list price. I will continue to recommend them to everyone."
Stefanie Shufelt
"Working with John and Becky Durham made buying a house easy, fun, and enjoyable! They were quick to respond to my requests, truly listen to what I wanted, and delivered on their promises. I value their professionalism and dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a new home!"
Jill McCarthy
"Last fall we took our home off the market after trying to sell it for three and ½ months through another real estate company. We then listed our home with John & Becky Durham this spring and were not disappointed. John & Becky sold our home in one day!"
"John & Becky's knowledge of real estate, their honesty and openness, their team effort, and their willingness to work hard were all contributing factors in getting our home sold after only three days on the market! The whole process seemed effortless from beginning to end."
Kathy & David Short
John & Becky,
"Thank you! We appreciate your help and expertise. Thanks so much for being an unwavering advocate on our behalf. It meant a lot to us! And, bottom line, thanks for getting the home sold! We'd recommend you to anyone who needed a realtor".
Peg Thompson
"John and Becky Durham...ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once I learned how tough the housing market is, I was concerned about being able to sell my townhouse. John and Becky Durham really went the extra mile to make sure my place was always being marketed and shown; and it was sold right on schedule...they are truly amazing!"
"Thanks for all you've done. I really appreciate it!" J
-Jenny Zimbauer
"We were very impressed by the presentation of our home on www.durhamsoldit.com. We were extremely pleased when John & Becky sold our home in only 16-days. The home sold during February in a slow housing market. John and Becky are the best!"
David & Christine Elliott
Prudential Relocation,
"I wanted to give you feedback on the recommended realtors that Prudential suggested. As you know I ended up choosing John and Becky Durham from Coldwell Banker. I can't thank you enough for this recommendation. They were a seller's dream. I have had in the past some pretty bad experiences with realtors and I have to say they blew me away with the customer service they provided me. They worked well together as a team and were very approachable. They handled my concerns and questions in a very professional manner and felt they really did their homework in order to market my home. I would highly recommend them again in any relocation situation should you have any needs arise in the Twin Cities."
"Please join me in congratulating John and Becky Durham of our Coldwell Banker Burnet Woodbury Office. John and Becky´s outstanding sales performance has placed them among the top sales associates in our company. We´re very proud to have John and Becky on our team."
Robin Peterson, President
