Blaine, MN | A Tale of Two Markets While it is said that all real estate is local, the market in Blaine, Minnesota is following a pattern seen across the country, there is a discrepancy across markets.

55449: Uniquely Minnesota Artful Distractions--Homeowner Version: Steel Dragon in Blaine
- 06/28/08 08:11 AM
A decade ago when we made our move to Anoka County, unique sites along the road often surprised us. There were the little buildings resembling outhouses near the end of every driveway. These of course are shelters for children waiting for the school bus. There were hawks on roadside power lines looking down to the road or a sod field looking for its next meal to run by. And then there would be something amazing to really stop you in your tracks...Something that looks like a steel dragon!

55449: What’s My Home Worth in Forest Lake, MN? Or Ham Lake? Or Lino Lakes? Or Blaine?
- 01/29/08 03:21 AM
Sound's like a trick question in this market doesn't it? Funny thing is that no matter what the market is like, the answer is not simple.What if you dig into your closet or file cabinet for that big vinyl envelope you received when you finalized your refinance last year? There was an appraised value for your home in that paperwork. Is that what your home is worth? Assessed values from the Washington County or Anoka County assessor are updated annually. That should be a pretty accurate number right?There are some great, interactive websites like Zillow that have popped up over the … (16 comments)
