Hot off the Press: Edina Market Update for Buyers and Sellers

Single Family Homes

April 2008

 


Edina real estate market continues to slowly wake up this spring. April weather in our area was finicky. Temperatures below average, rain and even some snow (mostly in western and northwestern Minnesota, those areas received 6-12 inches!). Since weekends are usually the time when most people shop for homes, the weather halted that activity a couple of times.

As you see, there are many homes that have been on the market for months now. The total market time of currently active listings ranges from 3 days to whaping 777 days, and the average is 160 days on the market.

Again, home owners whose homes are currently on the market are seeing an increased showing activity. Our appointment center is noting a significantly higher appointment call volume.

 

Currently available for sale: 248 homes

 

Homes listed during the month: 108 homes

 

Pending transactions during the month: 50 homes Home sales closed this month: 29 homes

Marzena, I think we've all had a colder then normal Spring but I'm glad to hear things seem to be picking up now.  It is the time home buyers are likely to come out.

Carole ~ Yes, our market seems to be picking up steam.  That's great news for everyone, especially the sellers. The buyers have some wonderful choices, so it's time for them to take the opportunity and buy a home!

 

Tom ~ It's wonderful you're back!  I'm doing well, ready to sell a few homes. 

 

I'm so glad you both stopped by!

MARZENA - 777 Days!  Not exactly a motivated seller.  I'm surprised that any agent would hang on for that long.

Adam, I totally agree with you.  Personally, I wouldn't either.

Thanks for stopping by.
