Real estate in Blaine, MN in Anoka County is affordable and selling—though admittedly at a slower pace than most sellers would like. The first quarter numbers show area homes are staying on the market an average of 147 days. When broken down to single family homes versus townhomes/ condos, the single family homes have a 150 average CDOM while townhomes/condos are selling a bit faster with a 143 CDOM. This could be do to builder incentives on the abundance of new construction properties making condo starter homes attractive to first time buyers.
The 147 CDOM for Blaine is better than in other areas of the north metro like Forest Lake, Lino Lakes and Ham Lake where homes have a cumulative days-on-market rate (CDOM) of well over 200 days. (Links to statistical reports for these communities are listed below.)
Inventory levels of single family homes under $300,000 in Blaine have remain quite manageable. Higher price homes are not only selling at a slower pace, they have to compete with new construction for the buyers. However the sale of higher priced homes remain stagnant. High priced existing homes are competing with new construction properties in the same category…Tough competition in any market .
