The May Housing Report is in...

The question clients most frequently ask is "what's the market like?" It's an important one and a good place to start as we try to understand how local supply and demand affect list price to close price ratios, days on market and are indicators of future value.

Across the state, the spring market started later this year but has come on strong. Inventory is up but so are sales. Days on market are also up, closer to the 45-60 day range. Annectdotally, over 50%+ of my transactions continue to go to multiple offers. There is strong demand for properties that are priced right (across a range of price points)

PENDING! This executive home in Breezy Point is under contract. Excited for Mr. & Mrs. Buyer to call this "home" after a nearly 8 year search to find the perfect place. I'll just say, it wasn't easy and having the right Realtor who knows the market and knows how to position your offer makes the difference between buying a home and "still looking".

What it goes on behind the scenes to make a polished STR property video. Sometimes it taks a few takes to find the right words to capture how beautiful these homes really are.

Forget chasing sunsets. I'm all about chasing sunrises and this Sibley Lake Airbnb has some of the most stunning sunrises. Imagine sipping an early morning coffee with the sun pouring in.

Long week? I don't want to tell you what to do but you should probably book a for the weekend. Kick back, relax, unplug and soak up the great MN outdoors.

Check out Cuyuna Cabin Collection for elevated stays that are built for adventure.

A firsthand perspective of my new listing on Lower Whitefish. 258' of hard sand and 3.42 acres of Norway Pines and mature trees. Panoramic sunset views across the lake. This is the spot to build your dream lake home on Whitefish without having neighbors on top of you.

Folks think Bankers & Realtors are out there golfing everyday, having fun, drinking beer and not really working. I just want to set the record straight. I don't golf EVERY day. ⛳️

Summer in the Brainerd Lakes Area is here! (finally.) Few memories compete with my childhood memories up at the cabin; roasting s'mores, fishing, tubing, swimming and enjoying the great MN outdoors. My friends have the largest selection of BLA short-term rentals. There's still time to book.
