April 2010 Twin Cities Real Estate Market Video Update—Market Showing More Signs of Improvement!

The Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS® released the April monthly skinny video earlier this week. From the information provided it appears that the expiring tax credit and spring weather did impact buyers in the Twin Cities market. Over 5000 purchase agreements were written and accepted during the last month. And the sellers on the receiving end of those purchase agreements were mostly traditional sellers and short sale properties. There was a 76% increase in short sale purchase agreements and a 55% increase in traditional seller purchase agreements. Prices seem to be gravitating toward list price again too with sellers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area getting an average of 94% of list prices. It's not all rosy news however so check out the video...Get a chance to see some cool photos of the new Target Field too!
