I attended a forum on Forecasting the Future. Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist and Tom Gillaspy, Minnesota State Demographer, stated facts and opinions on many topics that affect the future of all of us.  I was relieved that it was not the "doom and gloom" that we all keep hearing and reading about.  Yet, they were honest about the trying state our economy is currently in.  I thought you may be interested in some of the highlights...

Minnesota is an aging state.  Empty nesters and singles over age 65 are soon going to be the #1 household demographic. Married couples with kids will stay stagnant. This year's high ... 11/20/2008

Active homes in the lower price ranges seem to be up a bit but also continue to sell more quickly than homes in the higher priced categories. Lino Lakes existing homes continue to compete with available new construction in Hugo and Blaine.
