edina minnesota: Been thinking of buying a home in Minnesota? Time to Get Down From That Fence! - 07/24/09 01:27 PM
If you’ve been sitting “on the fence” waiting for conditions to improve before you purchase a home, fence-sit no more!

In the Twin Cities, we’re seeing lower home prices than in previous years and historically low interest rates. In early July, 30-year fixed-rate loans were available in the low 5 percent range and 15-year fixed-rate loans in the high 4 percent range.
These rates are amazing, especially when you compare them to previous years such as the ‘80s when interest rates were in the double … (0 comments)

edina minnesota: Things to know when buying a bank-owned property - 05/15/09 11:36 AM
There are many people who are beginning to take advantage of the post-bubble home prices of bank owned properties to make a housing purchase before the chance is gone. If you are one of them, there are some things you should know before you make an offer.
