I speak with a lot of New Brighton homeowners and renters alike, and it's always interesting to hear their opinions on whether homeownership make sense financially or not. I think almost everyone can agree that owning a home is a lot of work. One thing people don't understand is that it can also be very beneficial for your bottom line! To illustrate this, the FED did a study on the different net worths of home owners and renters and what they found was very interesting. The average American family has a net worth of $77,300 Of that net worth, 61.4% ($47,500) of it is in home equity A homeowner’s net worth is over thirty times greater than that of a renter The average homeowner has a net worth of $174,500 while the average net worth of a renter is $5,100 I'd have to agree and say that Ne...

Everyone keeps talking about the lack of inventory or the increase in inventory so let's take a peek at what's been going on in the New Brighton, MN inventory to really bring it down to a hyper local level instead of a nation wide level. Here are the stats: January- 1.5 months supply of inventory (extremely low=fantastic sellers market!!!

New Brighton's Windsor Green was the first owner-occupied townhome complex in Minnesota and it was carefully designed to be an enticing reason to transition from a house. With spacious units of several different designs, 34 acres of beautiful, park-like grounds, 2 swimming pools, tennis courts, meandering paths and Silver Lake and Silverwood regional park across the street it has a feeling of owning your home in a resort setting where everything outside is taken care of for you.   But I learned that Windsor Green is much more than that from Lisa, an East-coast transplant who moved to the Twin Cities 4 years ago and bought a unit in Windsor Green just a few months ago. She contacted me to share her experiences after learning I just listed a unit for sale in Windsor Green. Although Minnes...

Silverwood Park is unique Twin Cities regional park in New Brighton with a focus on the arts and the environment. This 68-acre park was a Salvation Army Camp from 1922 until 2001, when the Three Rivers Park District purchased it and redeveloped the site.  With miles of hiking and biking trails offering spectacular views of Silver Lake including a bridge to the island, this is a wonderful place to enjoy a peaceful nature retreat... and perhaps go fishing or canoeing or bring a sketch pad or enjoy a family picnic. Visit the changing art exhibits on display in the gallery and take in some of the wide range of activites and events offered throughout the year for all ages from preschoolers through seniors... including classes in pottery, photography, watercolors, papermaking, McPhail family ...

There are countless reasons people love the condominium community of Birch Ponds in New Brighton, Minnesota! It was difficult but I have narrowed down the list to just 10 amazing features. 10. Beautiful Pond. What a great place to take a walk, have a picnic or sit and relax. Residents with views of the pond from their balconies often consider this the best place to relax in the condo, while those without enjoy taking frequent strolls around the pond. 9. Professional Management. The association is professionally managed and works hard to keep the quality of service up while maintaining reasonable association fees. 8. Workshop. Be creative in the common hobby room/workshop that is located just off the garage in each building. And there is an assortment of tools available for resident use ...

Remember how years ago people turned to “Dear Abby” with their intriguing questions about daily life? A newspaper columnist who resolved every type of situation from relationship issues to financial dilemmas. Today, more people seem to turn to Suze Orman for financial advice but I thought I would tackle this situation for the first time buyer who wants the freedom of apartment life but the benefits of homeownership: Dear Abby, Suze,Teri, I love carefree apartment living but feel I should take advantage of the $8000 first time buyer credit that is being offered this year. Interest rates are low and I keep hearing about how affordable homes are today but I hate the idea of having to maintain a yard or shovel snow off a sidewalk. I don’t want to deal with deteriorating shingles on my roof...
