stieg strand realtor: Chanhassen Real Estate Market - 2023 Outlook
- 01/11/23 10:59 AM
It is 2023, and we are sledding downhill just as fast as gravity will let us!
There is and will continue to be so much to cloud the mind as we look into the coming year for the real estate market. One thing to for sure mention is that national financial reports are rarely accurate and reflect what is happening in Minnesota. The 2023 predictions for the Twin Cities real estate market are far more positive than a number of metro area's around the US. So, my suggestion is to watch a little less "Bad News" TV, and explore the actual real, relevant, and … (1 comments)

stieg strand realtor: Open-Concept Homes in Decline?!
- 07/16/20 01:26 PM
2020 has been a challenging year, and as many people have spent more time at home it has led to some thinking about what the future of homes may look like. Here are a few of the reasons according to HGTV why open-concept homes are projected to decline in the coming years...
1. Noise Travel
As we all know, noise travels and is absored by surfaces, so if there are no walls to absorb the sound, it will flow to whichever ear is present. This means the hums from kitchen appliances, television or kids can be challenging especially as more people are working from home … (1 comments)

stieg strand realtor: The real estate market has plenty of "fuel" for now....
- 05/11/17 09:12 AM
With housing prices appreciating at levels that far exceed historical norms, some are fearful that the market is heading for another bubble. To alleviate that fear, we just need to look back at the reasons that caused the bubble ten years ago.
We should do a brief review of the recent past here.....Over the last decade, demand for housing was artificially propped up because mortgage lending standards were way too lenient. People that were not qualified to purchase were able to attain a mortgage anyway. Prices began to skyrocket. This increase in demand caused homebuilders in many markets to overbuild.
Eventually, the excess … (1 comments)
