Historic charm. Scenic beauty. A step back in time.  These are all words that describe Taylors Falls MN.  These are all reasons why the Taylors Falls MN real estate market is popular among homebuyers who want a quaint ambiance but don’t want to be very far away from Minneapolis. Purchase a Taylors Falls home, and you can have it all.

Historic?  Step back in time? Yes to both.  The state’s charter was drawn up here. If you browsed this part of the St. Croix River Valley, you would discover that the area is littered with working farms that are over 100 years old.   Drive up the hill from the heart of downtown, and you will see plenty of stately, old Taylors Falls homes replete with lead-camed glass, oak pillars, built-ins, and all of those other old-world flourishes.

Scenic beauty? It’s a perfect picture postcard landscape.  Take a trip down the river between the black, jagged basalt cliffs, and you will be glad you brought your camera.

It’s not just all old-world here either.  How about a newer home with a five car garage and acreage backing up to Colby Lake?  You might just find one if you call soon. Also check out the famous Angel Hill district, and you might find an old beauty that has been renovated and updated.  You might even find a Taylors Falls foreclosure or two that would not take too much elbow-grease to make it all bright and shiny!

Efforts to renew/extend the first time homebuyer tax credit are stirring in the Senate, and hopefully pass. However, a few things have changed:

• The first time home buyer tax credit will continue continue at $8,000.
• The tax credit will be expanded to include additional home buyers who have been in their homes at least five years. Right now, it appears that these buyers would qualify for a $6250 tax credit. The final numbers have not yet been determined.
• The first time home buyer’s tax credit will be extended through April 30th, 2010. This will apply to purchase agreements written on or before April 30th. If you write a PA on April 29th, you would have another 60 days to close.

Is your Minneapolis real estate agent acting properly if he/she offers you a special “deal” for listing and selling property? A common ploy is to offer a seller a discount on listing commission if the seller uses the agent to also purchase property. I am wondering why anyone would question this tactic.  Don’t we have a free market economy?

The Realtor code of ethics and Minnesota statute both state that offer of incentives or premiums in the selling of real estate is not unethical. However, agents must have the permission of their brokers to offer incentives, and the terms of the offer must be clearly stated and time limits must be identified. If time limits are not clearly identified, and the agent no longer offers the incentive, this can be problematic if a customer still wants to claim the offer.

If the offer is complicated, the agent might choose to summarize the offer. If this is the case, the agent must state that additional terms and conditions apply, and be willing to offer a detailed written description of all terms and conditions.

The above video discusses the pending expiration of the first-time home buyers tax credit.  Here are a few highlights of the video:

• The first time home buyers’ $8000 tax credit is expiring November 30th, 2009. This means that buyers who want to use this program must close on any house purchase by this time. In other words, if you want to take advantage of this program, you will need to start shopping for a Minnesota home right now.
• Interestingly, only 9% of all REALTORS have responded to this alert. The National Association of Realtors wants to continue this program through 2010 and expand it so more people will be able to take advantage of it. The NAR considers the first-time home buyers tax credit to be a success. Sales increased dramatically immediately after the legislation was passed. Low prices and low interest rates have been conducive to increased real estate sales activity, but the tax stimulus has been instrumental in opening up home ownership to Minnesota home buyers and buyers in all parts of the country.
• About 16,200 Minnesota home buyers have used this, and another 50,000 buyers will be able to qualify for this program before it concludes on the end of November.
• If this program disappears, it will make it more difficult for Minnesota home sellers to sell their property. The real estate market is improving, but it has not yet corrected itself.
