St. Patty Ice Out! 2nd Earliest Ever!

Since I talked about the warm weather in my last post, it seemed only fitting that I should supply you with an important update….OMG, they declared Ice Out on Lake Minnetonka just after midnight last Thursday for St. Patty’s day.  This is the second-earliest date on record (the earliest was March 11th, back in 1878!)

FYI: the winner of the free kayak from Maynards won with a long shot guess of March 17th, 3:17am!

In other news – As in REAL ESTATE news – Here are a few tidbits to keep in mind this spring:

  1. I have eager buyers that probably want your home!  The number of available homes for sale still cannot keep up with buyer demand…especially in high demand areas!
  2. Keep an eye on interest rates, there will be more movement up and down in 2016.
  3. New construction is still ramping up.  Even though the Parade of Homes officially ends today, there is still much available, but many are paying a premium price due to lack of existing homes to choose from.
  4. For you 1st time homebuyers, the FHA loan limit for Hennepin County is $326,600.  Also, it is still much cheaper to own than rent in MN!

Hopefully my next post will be from our tropical spring break destination, but in the meantime, if I can help you with your home needs in any way, just give me a call!
