Saint Paul's Department of Planning and Economic Development divides Saint Paul into seventeen Planning Districts, created in 1979 to allow neighborhoods to participate in governance .

The boundaries are adjusted depending on population changes; as such, they sometimes overlap established neighborhoods.

 Though these neighborhoods changed overtime, many of their historically-significant structures have been saved by preservationists.

The city's seventeen Planning Districts are:

1. Sunray-Battle Creek-Highwood

2. Greater East Side

3. West Side

4. Dayton's Bluff

5. Payne-Phalen

6. North End

7. Thomas Dale -frog town

If you are facing the reality of a potential foreclosure on your home in Highland Park, St. Paul, MN, you’re probably considering the option of a short sale. It can be a very confusing process, and one that you shouldn’t attempt without experienced professionals helping you through it – both legal help and real estate help.

But is a short sale better for your credit in the long run than a foreclosure? There has been some confusing information put out in the past few months, but the bottom line is still the same: yes. A foreclosure is always the worst option if you have other options available to you. According to the Distressed Property Institute:

Each borrower’s credit situation is different, and the way that a creditor reports a short sale to bureaus is different. The reality is that hundreds of thousands of distressed homeowners who have chosen a short sale have experienced a lesser impact on their credit than those who have chosen foreclosure.

In a short sale, a distressed homeowner may be able to obtain another mortgage sooner than someone who has a foreclosure on his or her record. Also, more and more employers pull credit before hiring a potential employee, and a foreclosure can keep you from getting a job. Some employers pull credit reports on existing employees, and a foreclosure may not bode well in certain industries.

These benefits stacked against the negatives of foreclosure, including the embarrassment of public announcement and literally being kicked out of your home, make, in my opinion, short sale the reigning champion.

This article contains some good tips for someone weighing the options of short sale vs. foreclosure:

Consider a short sale when foreclosure seems inevitable
It’s not a given that your lender will agree to a short sale on your property, and the sooner you can address the problem (or looming potential problem), the more likely they will be to consider it. As soon as you realize that you are not going to be able to make a house payment, and that you have no way to avoid falling further behind, start the process of talking to your lender about the possibility of a short sale.

Short sales have disadvantages too
While they’re better in the long run than foreclosures, your credit will suffer. But if you can keep other forms of credit (i.e. credit cards, car loans, etc.) paid and current, you will overcome the credit hit more quickly than with a foreclosure on your record. The amount that is “forgiven” by your lender was previously taxable, but is currently not taxable through January of 2012. So time is currently on your side, but also has an expiration date – take advantage of this window!

The one best tip I can give you: Don’t Do This Alone
You really do need an attorney who knows what they’re doing, and a real estate agent who has short sale experience on your side. It’s a much different process than navigating a traditional home sale, and the money that you pay in fees will be well worth it compared to the headache of trying to do it on your own.

The short answer is that any possible option is preferable to foreclosure. A short sale of your Highland Park, St. Paul, MN house may be a hard pill to swallow in the short run, but it’s a smart long-term financial move if a foreclosure is on the horizon.

The Highland Park neighborhood in St. Paul, MN is a great area to live! With beautiful homes, parks, golfing and shopping, it’s no wonder that it’s a very popular area for potential home buyers be looking! Nevertheless, buyers need to be careful to avoid some of the most common mistakes when looking for a house, even in a wonderful area like Highland Park.

In this article, Amy Fontinelle outlines eight of them, a few of which are:

Falling in Love With a House You Can’t Afford
We’d all love to live in a home that’s several steps up from the one we can actually afford. And with house prices dipping so low these days, there can be a temptation to get that “amazingly good deal” on a house that was once unthinkably expensive and is now only moderately out of your price range. Resist that temptation. As Ms. Fontinelle points out, “…when you buy another $10,000 worth of house, you’re not just paying an extra $10,000 – you’re paying an extra $10,000 plus interest, which might come out to double that amount or more over the life of your loan.”

Being Desperate
You’d just like to be done already with the process of selling, buying and moving. It can be stressful, both physically and emotionally. Resist the temptation to buy a house that isn’t right for you, though. There are too many homes on the market right now for you to get something you won’t love. Be patient, give it time, and you’ll find the perfect Highland Park house for you.

Rushing or Dragging Your Feet
Once you find the perfect home for sale in Highland Park, you’ll likely have one of two reactions, depending on what kind of personality you have – you’ll either want to put in an offer that very second, or you’ll want to take lots of time to investigate every possible downside to the property. Either route is usually a mistake. You need to take a little time to carefully think through the purchase, sleep on it, and get a good feel for the specific neighborhood. But you don’t want to wait too long either, allowing someone else to buy a home you were ready to buy and put you through more weeks of house-hunting. It’s a balancing act, and your real estate agent can help you determine when to put an offer on a house, and how much that offer should reasonably be for.

As a buyer, the market is currently in your favor. Don’t despair if the perfect home doesn’t immediately present itself to you. If you want to live in Highland Park, St. Paul, you’ll be able to find the right home for the right price with some patience, skill and the help of a good realtor.

Well the first quarter numbers for Highland Park are out and they aren't great. Here's the "in a nutshell" results The Bad: - The median sale price in Highland Park in the first quarter was $205,590, down 11.5% from the 1st quarter of 2010. - The days on market in Highland Park was 161 days, up a whopping 43.6% from 1st quarter 2010. The Not So Bad: - There were 36 closed sales in Highland Park in the 1st quarter which equals the 1st quarter of 2010 - New listings in Highland Park are also up 4.6% The culprit appears to be more foreclosures and short sales entering the market. Of the 36 sales that took place in the 1st quarter, 9 were foreclosure or short sales. If we were to remove those 9 sales the average sale price of the remaining 27 properties was $284,451. A clear indication that market recover is dependent on putting a halt to mortgage default. If you ever have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time.
