Our Madeline Island Real Estate Blog is Read by Nearly as Many Minnesotans as by Wisconsinites
I probably should have guessed this all along, but today I did a little research into the visitor statistics for my Madeline Island Real Estate Blog to see where those visitors are coming from. And I found that the number of blog visitors from Wisconsin and Minnesota is nearly equal. Below are the stats from my ClustrMaps widget on my Wisconsin blog:
You'll notice that the number of visitors from Minnesota and from Wisconsin is close to identical, both states with around … (1 comments)

minnesota: A Ray of Economic Hope from Across the Border - Minnesota Jobless Rate Drops in October - 11/20/11 11:47 PM
A Ray of Economic Hope from Across the Border - Minnesota Jobless Rate Drops in October
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Thursday that the jobless rate in Minnesota fell .5% in October, from 6.9% to 6.4%.
Why is this good news for home sellers on Madeline Island?
Because over three-fourths of prospective buyers in our zip code (54850) come from the State of Minnesota. A significant majority of Madeline Island second home owners come from the Minneapolis - Saint Paul metro area.
It won't bring immediate relief, but good economic news from a neighboring state can mean more buyers, particularly in … (2 comments)

minnesota: The Market May Be Bottoming Out, but Not All Sellers Have Gotten the Message - 10/29/11 11:58 AM
The Market May Be Bottoming Out, but Not All Sellers Have Gotten the Message
I read a local newspaper article the other day which speculates that "a market bottom has formed" in the Madeline Island Real Estate market. If one examines closed sales, that may be a valid conclusion, but the vast majority of sellers probably haven't figured that out yet.
List prices have dropped over the past year, but the transition to better pricing has been fairly recent. There still seems to be a lot of seller unreality about pricing.
Just a couple years ago, I remember a heated discussion … (3 comments)

minnesota: NAR At Home With Diversity Class October 13, 2011 Was Well-Attended - Course Sponsored by Minnesota CRS Chapter and MNAR - 10/17/11 08:15 PM
I was pleased to be the instructor for this NAR course in Minneapolis on October 13, 2011, co-sponsored by the Minnesota CRS Chapter and the Minnesota Association of Realtors . The "At Home With Diversity" course was created by the National Association of Realtors for the purpose of creating new opportunities for Realtors who add diversity to their practice of real estate. This was the third time in the past eighteen months that I've offered this course. In April of 2010, the WRA Equal Opportunity - Cultural Diversity Committee sponsored "At Home With Diversity" at the Wisconsin Realtors Association. It was offered again in November of … (0 comments)

minnesota: Will Your Agent Drive 250 Miles to Write Your Offer On a Madeline Island Home? - 07/19/11 11:12 AM
WILL YOUR AGENT DRIVE 250 MILES TO WRITE YOUR OFFER ON A MADELINE ISLAND HOME?
We do this all the time. Last week, I drove four and a half hours, from Madeline Island to Minneapolis, to write an offer on a Madeline Island home.
Sure, this could have been done over the phone or by email, or by fax. But the crafting of an offer that accurately reflects a buyer's wishes takes time and is best done in person.
So I caught a 4:30 pm ferry from La Pointe to Bayfield, Wisconsin and finally rolled into downtown Minneapolis around … (2 comments)

minnesota: Take Better-looking YouTube Real Estate Videos - Smooth Pan Effects with iPix Video Adapter - 08/01/10 01:21 PM
There is nothing that looks quite so amateurish as a jittery, badly-photographed real estate video on YouTube!
I blogged about this issue earlier here:
http://activerain.com/blogsview/1763059/if-you-re-going-to-post-your-listing-videos-on-youtube-please-use-a-tripod-
In the course of putting together information for a class on real estate photography, I came across an inexpensive solution that produces very smooth panning with the Flip Mino HD camera.
The iPix tripod head adapter (above) attaches easily to any standard tripod head. It has a smooth ball-bearing swivel motion that allows smooth panning over a range from 90 to 120 degrees.
I bought the adapter on eBay for ten bucks. It's sturdy and attaches to the base of the Flip … (5 comments)

minnesota: Rest in Peace: When Your Business Laptop Bites the Dust! - 07/29/10 05:03 AM
If you were one of the unfortunates who purchased the same model Hewlett-Packard Pavillion Entertainment PC laptop as I did three and a half years ago, my condolences.
On Sunday morning, I discovered that my HP laptop with the big, bright screen wouldn't boot up. It would display the HP logo, then the Microsoft Windows boot screen, and then the whole screen went dark. I was then treated to a "light show", with linear streaks of blue, yellow, red and green streaking across the screen, both vertically and horizontally.
I tried booting up in "Safe Mode" and made an effort to revert the hard drive … (13 comments)

minnesota: Received my Certification from NAR to Teach the "At Home With Diversity" Course - 02/26/10 02:18 PM
Today, I received official word from the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) that I am now certified to teach the "At Home With Diversity" course.
To the best of my knowledge, I'm the first Wisconsin real estate licensee to become a NAR-certified instructor for the AHWD program. A few months ago, I was urged to obtain the AHWD trainer certificate by another instructor and also received encouragement from friends and colleagues on our Wisconsin Realtors Association Equal Opportunity in Housing Committee.
Not only is this course valuable in itself as an important tool for becoming culturally competent in your practice of real estate, but … (2 comments)

minnesota: Minneapolis Photographer Steve McHugh Creates New Bell Street Art Gallery on Madeline Island - 01/01/09 06:42 PM
The summer of 2009 will bring the opening of a new art gallery on Madeline Island.
The Bell Street Gallery is the creation of Steve McHugh, a well-known professional photographer from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Steve has been a Madeline Island summer resident for nearly two years now.
Steve saw one of our commercial listings, located at 807 Bell Street, this past summer. He was able to look beyond the rustic facade and the bright red paint job that adorned the building. Steve and his wife Mary fell in love with the location and the property's commercial potential, so they purchased the property in October … (6 comments)

minnesota: Madeline Island summer resident campaigning for Minnesota U.S. Senate seat - 08/08/08 10:48 PM
A friend and client of mine is making a run for United States Senator from Minnesota.
Attorney Priscilla Lord Faris, daughter of retired Minnesota Attorney General and Federal Court Judge Miles Lord, announced her candidacy for U. S. Senate in Minnesota on July 15. Faris will be opposing incumbent Senator Norm Coleman and DFL-endorsed challenger Al Franken in the Senate race.
Priscilla and her husband Wayne became summer residents on Madeline Island seven years ago. I'm proud to say I sold them their Madeline Island home. Priscilla's no rookie when it comes to political involvement. Her family has a long history of involvement in Minnesota politics. Among other … (4 comments)

minnesota: Last boat from Bayfield to Madeline Island on Friday night of "Biker Weekend" - 06/22/08 02:57 PM
I found myself on the 11 p.m. trip, the last of the day, from Bayfield to La Pointe this evening.
If you were trying to determine whether or not tourism is down this year, you'd get the impression things are slow this year by riding the last ferry of the day to La Pointe on a Friday summer evening.
We left the mainland aboard the Bayfield at around 11:10 p.m., with a total of just seven vehicles on deck. Two of the vehicles had Wisconsin license plates, the remaining five (including mine) had Minnesota plates.
The Bayfield has a capacity of 26 … (0 comments)

minnesota: Madeline Island resident rows to Duluth to promote heart health awareness - 05/31/08 09:48 PM
Madeline Island resident Michael Murphy takes his rowing very seriously.
Murphy recently rowed his diminutive seventeen-foot boat, the "Mikerowave" from the Bad River area (near Odanah, Wisconsin) to the Duluth, Minnesota lift bridge and back again, to promote public awareness of the need for cardiac health. The nearly 140-mile round trip took Murphy about nine days.
Murphy works for the National Healthy Heart Project, which is administered through the Indian Health Service and provides health assistance to over thirty Native American tribes across the United States. Murphy also works at the Ashland County Memorial Medical Center in the hospital's emergency room walk-in clinic.
Murphy is a staunch advocate of rowing as an … (0 comments)

minnesota: Unscientific Survey on Memorial Day Visitor Traffic to Madeline Island - 05/24/08 04:38 PM
Here's the results of a fairly un-scientific survey about visitor traffic aboard the Madeline Island Ferry Line last night.
A friend sent me results of his survey, in which he counted the number of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois license plates aboard the "Bayfield" on the 9 p.m. run to Madeline Island. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
The count results:
14 vehicles with Minnesota license plates
4 vehicles with Wisconsin license plates
1 vehicle with Illinois license plates
How's that for accuracy?
Well, the results are in keeping with my assumption that the majority of summer visitors to Madeline Island come from Minnesota … (2 comments)

minnesota: 12% of Americans Plan to Spend Economic Stimulus Money on Vacation Travel - Come Visit Madeline Island! - 05/21/08 09:37 PM
According to the news services, the Federal Government estimates that twelve per cent of Americans plan to spend their "economic stimulus" rebates on vacation travel.
The local television news reported this eveing that the average gasoline cost will be about $58 round trip for someone in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota) to vacation in Duluth. That's about five dollars more than last summer.
So I'd estimate it would cost a little over $60 for the same Twin Cities resident to make the round trip to Bayfield, Wisconsin for the ferry journey to Madeline Island. That's not as bad as I thought.
