west savage blog: West Savage Inventory - Affordability
- 02/16/11 03:54 AM
Inventory in West Savage is still low, sitting at about 55% of normal spring/summer levels. There is no question that the Bank of America foreclosure moratorium has impacted foreclosure inventory, as many homes expected to hit the market as bank-owned have been postponed indefinitely.
Buyers have been hitting the streets early this year: A slight bump in interest rates created some urgency. Metrowide, pending sales are up 3.7% for January 2011 in a year-over-year comparison. Even though a larger percentage of home sales have been foreclosure and short sale inventory (compared to traditional,) the traditional seller saw a median sales price … (0 comments)

west savage blog: NW Savage Alliance Needs Your Help
- 01/18/11 07:18 AM
The NW Savage Alliance group is seeking the help of West Savage residents to help block Ron Clark Construction's proposal to build high-density housing in West Savage behind Rainbow Foods.
The development would require that the City of Savage rezone the commercially-zoned area to mixed use, and would allow a 3-story, 166+ unit, capped-income apartment complex to be developed.
Concerns of the West Savage Alliance, the group leading the local community in fighting the zoning change, include:
Changing the zoning from Commercial to Mixed Use eliminates the option for much-needed commerical space. Three other areas in Savage are already designated for high-density … (0 comments)

west savage blog: West Savage Inventory Rising...At Least on Paper
- 01/18/11 07:13 AM
New inventory in West Savage is climbing on paper, but many of what is hitting the market is relisted inventory from previous contracts. December 31 is a popular date for the expiration of listing contracts, and total inventory numbers in West Savage, Savage as a whole, and Scott County all reflect this norm. A number of sales have closed this month, including three in The Pointe. 40% (two) of the five total closed transactions in West Savage were foreclosures.
Interest rates climbed a bit this month, and this could be the cause of a sudden increase in showing activity metro-wide. Many … (0 comments)

- 12/06/10 02:14 AM
Our local REALTOR Association gave a seminar and handed out this informative report on the state of our housing market.

The report is somewhat lengthy (and may take some time to load), but you can pick and choose pages to print by selecting the PRINTER icon in the top left of this PDF frame at http://www.WestSavageBlog.com.

west savage blog: West Savage Inventory - Workforce Housing Update
- 11/17/10 09:04 AM
West Savage inventory is starting to take its long winter nap, as total listings drop from the typical 28-30, down to 22. Though sales in the market are down metro-wide, sales in West Savage have crept up in the past month, with three newly-pended listings - two in The Pointe and one in The Vistas of Summit Ponds. The greatest listing activity is also occurring in these two neighborhoods.
The hot topic in West Savage is the strongly-debated Workforce Housing project (to be located behind Rainbow Foods) off Connelly Parkway. The project, known as Village Commons, would require that the 14-acre … (0 comments)

west savage blog: Upper Bracket ($500K+) Eeking Gains in Market
- 11/17/10 07:47 AM
Our local REALTOR Association reports:
Inventory is growing as home sales decline. All three property types and five of the eight price ranges that we track are showing year over year-over-year increases in homes for sale. The biggest area of growth is in the lowest price ranges, where an influx of new foreclosures and short sales and a decline in sales post-tax-credit has led to the growth.
Sales are declining in all price ranges except the high-end markets above $500,000, where sales have eked out small gains over the last 12 months.
Prices are softest in the condominium segment, where the … (0 comments)

west savage blog: City of Savage MN Discusses Tax Bill
- 10/06/10 05:14 AM
The most recent Savage City News just discussed property taxes in Savage and how they will be affected by budgetary needs, levy decisions and property values. September is the deadline for the City to establish preliminary budgets for 2011 as required by state law, and this task has been completed. These tax levies can change when the budget is finalized in December, but can only do so if the adjustment is downward.
For now, figures for the City of Savage are not projected to be any higher than they were in 2010, unless a property's classification or value changed. Due to the … (0 comments)

west savage blog: West Savage Housing Market (Then & Now)
- 08/27/10 10:38 AM
By Chad & Sara Huebener
New inventory in West Savage has risen. Most new listings that have hit the market are either a) relisted homes that previously canceled or expired, and/or b) ramblers, which now make up 36% of total West Savage inventory. Buyers for the rambler market are working on selling their two-story home right now, so ramblers are competing ferociously for the two-story seller who does plan to buy a rambler as their next home. As a side note, all listed rambler inventory in Woodhill (as of today) is being sold "short."
We thought it would be … (0 comments)
