  If you are listing your home during the fall months, it’s important to remember that buyers will be paying attention to your outdoor spaces. Here’s a few tips for fall:   If you aren’t planning to list until the leaves turn, consider taking a few pictures around your home’s exterior now, shooting wide shots of the whole yard and closer shots of your more outstanding features. Print them and put them in small photo album and leave on your kitchen table during showings so buyers can see what they will get in the spring. Keep your lawn raked and mowed. Doing a little bit every day will go a long way in keeping up with the leaves. That giant maple tree in your front yard is beautiful during the summer, but when the leaves drop in the fall, it could just look like a lot of work to a prospe...

    Woodbury has seen a remarkable recovery. Even the luxury home market in Woodbury is bouncing back. Check out our video about the Wedgewood neighborhood! Becky and I have seen some amazing things in the past few months; bidding wars, homes selling in a matter of hours, cash offers. These are great for sellers! For buyers, not so much. They and their agents have to work a lot harder to get the home they want. If you have put your luxury home on the market and it’s not selling, it may be time for some reflection. There are a number of reasons a home might be seeing little activity.  Condition: Many of today’s buyers do not have the time, money, or desire to do a remodel. If your home needs paint, carpet, or a new roof, that can scare a luxury buyer away with worries about other repairs...

Wedgewood - Luxury Home Market Is Back!   The luxury home market in Woodbury is showing strong signs of recovery. The Wedgewood neighborhoods, which were hit hard by falling prices and long listing periods, are showing strong signs of recovery.    The supply of homes for sale in Wedgewood continues to drop. According to the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota, the months supply of single family homes in Wedgewood is now at 5.1 months and heading toward a seller’s market as we approach the spring listing season (see graph).       With reduced supply, we are seeing buyers acting fast to snap up the homes that are on the market, with Wedgewood homes spending, on average, 115 days on the market in the past 12 months (see graph).
