Great week for CastleHomesMN! We closed on a commercial property and a buyer's offer was accepted in this competitive market!

This message is for those selling their homes. Please consider forgoing the cash offer with no inspection and sell your home to a family, rather than a large real estate company. It is disheartening for buyers today as offers, even over the asking price, are being usurped by cash offers with no inspection. Who has $300,000+ cash and does not want to spend it buying a million dollar home? Most likely large real estate companies who are looking to increase rental property ownership. Please support home ownership.

Improved price of $160,000.

This property is a great money maker with two businesses on the main level and two apartments on the upper level. All four are currently occupied and reliable. Many repairs just completed. Just off of Main Street in downtown Sandstone, MN.

New furnace just installed. (one less thing to think about)

Another option would be to live in one section and let the others pay the mortgage.

Interesting thoughts on the recovery.

With businesses starting to slowly open back up again in some parts of the country, it’s important to understand how housing can have a major impact on the recovery of the U.S. economy.

If you're concerned that there might be a repeat of what happened in 2006-2008, This post from Keeping Current Matters has good information.

Karen testified against the proposed legislation that we believe will hurt consumers. You can see why the large real estate brokerages want this bill to go through and why we and other brokerages are fighting to protect the consumers.

Managing Broker, Glen and Broker/attorney Karen attended a legislative session today discussing a proposed change in the law, designated agency. Karen testified alongside other attorneys and Realtors advocating for the best interest of the buyer and seller and against a proposed change in the law. Designated agency does not guard the buyer's or seller's best interest. It passed through committee 7-3. Castle Homes MN is transparent and fights for the best interests of our clients. We plan to follow this bill and hopefully stop it in the next session.
