The prices on Minneapolis homes still are jaw-dropping, and mortgage loan interest rates probably will never get much lower, so this is a good time for property buyers to be decisive. Every investor knows that it is better to buy before prices start climbing up or waiting for mortgage loan interest rates to go up.

Minneapolis neighborhoods are coming BACK! So are the people who grew up in the city but moved to the suburbs after college. They missed the Gothic and Victorian architecture of MN homes, tree-lined streets and sidewalks, and an extensive park system with an endless maze of bike routes, creeks, lakes, and ballfields. There are plenty of vintage treasures to be found in the Minneapolis real estate market. Totally restored Minneapolis homes include mission-style foursquare homes or Arts and Crafts style houses. Minneapolis MN homes offer gleaming oak floors, built-in buffets, oak pillars, big oak mopboards, and millwork details that show pride in craftsmanship! You might even find one with oak pillars and a built in buffet. Minneapolis bungalow-style homes never fall out of favor. The Minneapolis real estate inventory is broad, charming, and eclectic!

Interest rates are also great right now. Also, credit restrictions are easing. Call us for more specific information on market conditions.

Minneapolis Real Estate is  Excellent for Long Term Investment

Considering that the average annual appreciation of Minneapolis homes has been 5% since the 50′s, it’s a smart move.  Savvy investors know that this is this is the time to get serious about looking for Minneapolis real estate for sale. In fact, the Twin Cities housing market conditions are creating a whole new generation of property investors who understand the long-term value of Minneapolis real estate. You can even find some Minnesota luxury home foreclosures on the market right now. In fact, right now, “cheap Minnesota luxury homes” is one of the most heavily Googled terms that brings buyers to this Minneapolis real estate website. But don’t expect today’s prices on Minneapolis MN homes to be around forever; the banks have finally become aggressive about pricing their Minneapolis real estate for sale, and investors are scooping up these properties quickly. Keep in mind that the city is “landlocked,” meaning that when it becomes time to sell MN homes in the future, Mpls sellers will not be competing with a large number of new construction properties in the Minneapolis real estate market. Meanwhile, the metro population keeps growing and vacant land everywhere becomes more precious with every passing day. At some point, demand will greatly outpace the supply of Minneapolis real estate listings, as it has in the past. Home ownership will always be the American Dream.

An investment in a Minnesota home is an investment in the future.  The net cost of owning Minneapolis MN real estate is probably far less than what you are now paying for rent, especially when you consider the equity gains and huge tax benefits. This is not a good time for “sitting on your hands.”  The most common mistake a Minneapolis real estate investor can make is to wait until prices go up before buying. Heavy-hitting real estate investors like Donald Trump are saying that this is the time to buy. Prices on Minneapolis MN homes for sale are great, but these property prices  just won’t last forever. The interest rates on today’s mortgage rates can only go up!

Minneapolis MN Homes

Minneapolis real estate enjoys a permanent demand, thanks to a thriving, diverse economy, a healthy infrastructure, an amazing string of sparkling blue lakes, green and leafy parkways, bike trails, and a landscape littered with well-equipped parks. The overall quality of living is higher than just about anywhere else in the nation, the houses are affordable, educational services are great, and conditions make Minneapolis a great place to start a business or raise a family.  Owners of Minneapolis homes enjoy an active lifestyle and access to some of the most avante-garde cultural venues in the country.  The nightlife is jumping, fine cusine and world class shopping is here, and there are plenty of professional sports teams.

If you are looking for upscale Minneapolis real estate listings, check out  large houses and Minneapolis mansions with panoramic lake views along Lake of the Isles Parkway! Luxury Minneapolis homes on Mount Curve enjoy sweeping views of Mpls  downtown and boast 10,000+ finished square feet of amenities like billiards rooms, libraries, media rooms and more.

Can You Really “Search the Minnesota MLS?”

You probably came to this site to search the Minneapolis MLS.  I hate to disappoint you. You can look at just about every Twin Cities house for sale on the Multiple Listing Service, but you can’t really search the MLS.

Please note that Northstar Regional MN MLS does not allow its member agents to have web buttons or links that say “Search the Minneapolis MLS” on their websites.  Interestingly, large out-of-state internet entities can still say things like “Minneapolis MLS Finder,” or “Search the Twin Cities Real Estate MLS Here!” Local brokers are forbidden by the Northstar Regional MLS to do so, although they do it all the time. We must say things like “Free list of Minneapolis real estate for sale!” or “Search Minneapolis homes for sale.”

Searching for Minneapolis Real Estate for Sale?

The “MLS” search feature you find on all Minneapolis real estate websites actually is called the “IDX.”  All  consumer sites use the same feed of property listings provided by the Northstar Regional MLS. There are some technical distinctions between IDX and the Minneapolis MLS as well as some minor differences in the data sets. For the consumer, this nit-picking parsing of terms does not mean very much. It is sort of like “picking fly poop out of the pepper.”However, if you want to see the Minneapolis MLS exactly the way that REALTORS see it, give me a call and I can send you as many Multiple Listing Service properties listed on the Northstar Regional MLS as you wish. The important point is that you can find almost all Minneapolis homes for sale that are currently listed on the Minneapolis MLS. If you are looking for Minneapolis real estate, you will find it here. I am not aware of any local realty companies that exclude their MN homes listings  from the IDX. Also, I can email to you all MN MLS listings in the exact format that Minneapolis REALTORS use. Either way, you can get all the information you need about Minneapolis MN real estate.  The IDX system is essentially a watered-down version of the MLS, but we can provide comprehensive information about sales history, days on market, competition, and more.

Minneapolis Lake Homes

When we think of “Minnesota lake homes,” most of us conjure up images of Mille Lacs, Gull Lake, Pelican, Leech Lake and even Lake Superior foreclosures. But even in a pulsating metro area like the Greater Minneapolis real estate market it is possible to find tranquil lakeshore and Northstar Regional MLS-listed  Minnesota lake homes for sale. At any given time, the MLS has about one hundred or so Minneapolis lake homes that are graced with views of Harriet, Lake Calhoun, Lake Nokomis, Lake of the Isles, Minnehaha Creek, and the Mississippi River.

Townhomes in Minneapolis

There are usually about 1000-1500 Minneapolis townhomes and condo listings on the Minnesota MLS at any given time. If you are looking for affordable Minneapolis real estate options, Check out lofts or warehouse condos with exciting skyline views. Maple or bamboo floors and granite countertops are popular in MN homes. So are stainless steel appliances. Check out slate floors and designer tile baths. Consider sun-filled balconies or private full-sized laundry. Spas, gardens and exercise rooms  in MN homes are becoming popular. Minneapolis condos offer pools and hospitality rooms. Lofts and condos offer underground heated garages. There are many condo conversion units available in the Minneapolis real estate market, especially in Uptown and east of Lake Harriet.
