February 2 marked the beginning of the Minnesota house hunting season, and it looks like buyers have responded well in Eagan.  According to Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota, there are 205 homes for sale in Eagan priced at or below $200,000.  Since February 2, there have been twenty-seven accepted offers on homes in that price range.  That's more than one in ten homes no longer available to buyers who have not yet started house hunting.  Yes, the best ones are gone. There are still a lot of homes on the market, and some of them are almost as nice as the ones you missed.  If you have any interest in firing your landlord this year, now is the time to take action.  Call me today for a free and fun house hunting strategy session.

This year Eagan's real estate market really told the story of the entire Minnesota housing market.  Interestingly, foreclosure and short sale volume was relatively stable throughout the year.  The real variability in Eagan real estate is in the traditional listings (those that are neither Eagan foreclosures or Eagan short sales).     The monthly average sale price varied little over the course of the year.  A few Eagan luxury homes sold producing a artificially high monthly average. One of the most interesting parts of 2010 was the average days on market.  Shorter times on the market reflects a faster rate of sales in the previous month.  March and April have lower average days on the market (85 and 79, resp) which reflect a high level of activity in January and February (the REAL sprin... 12/21/2010

If you're planning to buy your first home, you're probably wondering how much home you can afford.  It may surprise you that a lender doesn't have much concern for the price of the home you choose.  As long as the appraiser thinks the home is worth the selling price, the lender will be satisfied. When you are ready to make a buying decision, you will first need to ask a lender to give an indication of your ability to secure financing.  You will request a pre-approval to finance a home purchase.   You will be asked to submit certain information about your employment, income, and expenses, along with authorization for the lender to check your credit. After successful verification of data, the lender will tell you that you will be able to buy a home.  How much can you pay for the home?  It... 12/19/2010

We're offering a Lockheed Martin Employee Discount.  It's sad to see, but Lockheed Martin is closing their Eagan site.  I've sold homes for many Lockheed Martin employees that relocated here from New York and Virginia.  I rub elbows with most of these folks at El Loro around lunchtime.  I know this closing isn't planned until 2013, but life has taught me to plan early, and so should you. We're offering a rebate from our normal commission to sell homes for Lockheed Martin employees in Eagan.  Plainly put, we at the Stewart Home Team appreciate the work you do for our country.  And we want to do anything we can to make this transition as easy as possible.  When you're relocating to another city for a new job, there are a lot of moving parts, and we're committed to helping you manage those... 11/18/2010

There are several Eagan 1 level ramblers with 3+ bedrooms available for sale these days.  Typically, these fine homes were built between 1950 and 1970.  The great thing about these homes is that they were built with care, in a time when quality mattered, both in labor and materials.     Many of these homes feature a steel I beam that runs the length of the home - talk about sturdy!  The discerning Eagan home buyer will also care if the home was a one-owner home.  These old people took wonderful care of their homes and are now delivering them to the next generation in fine condition.  Of course you will have to do some updating - you probably don't remember shag.   There are currently 18 properties for sale in Eagan built between 1950 and 1970 on 1 level.  My job as an Eagan real estate... 11/17/2010

There are several Eagan 2 story homes in foreclosure currently for sale.  The foreclosure process here in Minnesota is particularly long compared to other states.  For a brief review of the foreclosure process in Eagan, visit the short video I made on Foreclosure Help.  As of this writing there are approximately 4 available.  These are all bank-owned, meaning that the original owner is out the picture.  Banks typically work with offers in the order that they're received, so if you're considering Eagan 2 story homes in foreclosure, now's the time! Most of these homes have been on the market an average of 72 days.  Average time on the market right now for these homes is about 90 days, so the current listings may sell quite quickly. Two of these homes are located in what I believe to be on... 11/15/2010

If you're renting and running out of patience, now is the time to start preparing for a spring move.  Most leases end in either May or June, and you need to indicate your intention to renew 30 - 60 days before their end date.  Just like Christmas shopping, most buyers put off shopping for a new home until it's too late to thoroughly research the market and develop a well-planned buying strategy.  Don't wait until the tulips pop up before starting the preliminaries.  You can get a few things out of the way right now.  It's not too early to find out what it will cost per month to own a home, and it's not too early to get an honest opinion from a finance expert on your chances of getting the best interest rate on a home loan.  It's not too early to learn about market conditions and how the... 11/07/2010

  10.  By selling now, you have the opportunity to be a non-contingent buyer during the spring - when many more houses are on the market for less money.  You can sell high and buy low!   9.  You can sell now for more money and we will provide for a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year.   8.  Even though your house will be on the market, we give you the option to restrict showings during the six or seven days around the holidays.   7.  January is traditionally the month for employees to begin new jobs.  Since transferees cannot wait until spring to buy, you need to be on the market during the holidays to capture that market.   6.  Some people must buy before the end of the year for tax reasons.   5.  Buyers have more time to look for a home during the holidays than... 11/05/2010

Eagan MN homes for sale includes many luxury homes as well.  As price brackets increase, discriminating buyers are expecting different features.  Needless to say, ALL homes for sale in Eagan need to be clean - and I mean REALLY clean - and STAGED.  Regardless of the price, it MUST a) be a bargain, and b) be a showpiece.  There are several features which have historically caused homes in Eagan to sell for higher prices.  As I've sold homes in Eagan for the past several years, I've noticed that certain formulas exist for placing a home into a particular price bracket.  This evolved quite accidentally, as the buyers we've worked with encountered certain combinations of features which seemed to naturally fit into specific price ranges.  We reversed the procedure for sellers, showing them th... 10/27/2010
