Mn/DOT is starting up discussion on a partial upgrade of the 169/494 Interchange – this plan includes upgrades to 6 of the 8 pathways of the interchange.  While the Federal Highway Administration wants all paths upgraded on any interstate upgrade nationwide, Mn/DOT claims they can save $30 – $40 million by doing only 6 of [...]
Banks Suing Homeowners AFTER Foreclosure
Thursday, February 04, 2010, 10:45 AM
In my job I often find that instead of trying to explain things myself it is better to simply cite the best resources out there already.  It’s not what you know, but who you know, right? As is typical for them, the Minnesota Home Ownership Center has just put together a great post describing how sellers [...]

Friday, January 22, 2010, 6:50 AM

Investors Competing with Home Buyers on Foreclosures
Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 8:57 AM
In the last 12 months I’ve had a few situations where my client’s offer on a foreclosure was rejected in favor of a cash offer.  In my office, I know of many others that have experienced the same thing. With the data provided by RMLS that I used yesterday to comment about FHA transactions, I am also able [...]

Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 3:23 PM
The IRS released the tax form required for claiming the new version of the home buyer tax credit on January 15th.  If you’re planning on claiming the credit, know that the IRS will require documentation proving you purchased the home in the eligible period.  Since this documentation will not be electronically submittable, you will have [...]
FHA Loans Make up Nearly 40% of Sales in Twin Cities in 2009
Tuesday, January 19, 2010, 8:10 AM
The housing market continues to change and one of the largest changes in 2009 was the resurgence of FHA financing.  As lenders have tighted up financing requirements and increased down payments from 0% a few years ago to predominantly 10% today, FHA’s more forgiving standards and lower 3.5% down payment requirement have made it a very [...]

Google just put up some new satellite imagery of Haiti that can be viewed as a layer in Google Earth.  I just spent the last 1/2 hour taking a look and here are some of my thoughts: Most roads look passable Many people are in the streets and lots of debris around Some buildings total losses, another right [...]
Think REALTORS Are Rich?
Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 8:01 AM
The 3 local REALTOR associations released 2009 housing statistics and I started going through them and my eyes were drawn to the number of closed sales in 2009 -  45,200. Since most sales have a Buyer’s Agent and a Seller’s Agent, we’re looking at a total of approximately 90,000 trasaction “sides.” The Twin Cities associations have approximately [...]
Financing For Some Condos Becoming Very, Very, Very Difficult
Monday, January 11, 2010, 8:56 AM
The housing boom brought us a slew of new community developments including condos, townhomes and retail/condo buildings.  While financing on townhomes is still doable, financing options for condo & mixed-use buildings is becoming very difficult.  The developments with the hardest time getting financing are the ones that have had the highest rates of foreclosure. So many condos built from 2005-2008 in [...]

8 Predictions for 2010 Housing Market
Thursday, January 07, 2010, 8:17 AM
Doing It Again In 2010 What does 2010 hold in store for buyers, sellers and Realtors?  I predict that it will be much the same as what we saw in 2009 here in the Twin Cities: Foreclosures will continue to come on the market and many will be scooped up quickly with multiple offers. The “next wave” of [...]
