Shoreview MN | 2018 Housing Market Update Snapshot of Home Sales Statistics




In the centrally located Ramsey County community of Shoreview, MN new listings were down just slightly in 2017. This comes as no surprise because housing inventory is sparse across the greater Minneapolis/St Paul metro. New listings were down just 1.7% from the previous year. This likewise, caused a drop in closed sales (down by roughly 2.4% compared to 2016). This lack of housing inventory drove prices up significantly. The average sales priced skyrocketed to $281,106 up nearly 13%. The average price per square foot rose considerably too. Shoreview homes sold at an average $141 per square foot in 2017. It doesn’t take long for the sold signs to be posted in Shoreview either. A home stays on the market for an average of 45 days. This is down over 16% from the previous year. And home sellers are getting their list price too. Homes sold at 98.6% of asking price. 

As we edge closer to the 2018 spring market, it doesn’t appear the demand for Shoreview homes will slow or that inventory will rise. With the low number of Shoreview homes for sale and strong buyer demand, it is a seller’s market in Shoreview. This is where the seller has the negotiating advantage and it is a great time to consider selling a home. If you are looking to buy in Shoreview this spring, be prepared to look and possibly write an offers as soon as the perfect home comes on the market. But be ready with a strategy to make your offer very appealing. There will no doubt be multiple offers on affordable homes this spring.

Video Tips to Make the Dream of Living on Minnesota Acreage a Reality

 

Change is not easy. But if moving from the city to a rural setting is your dream, it can become a reality.


The idea of moving from a city or suburb to a more rural, acreage setting is a dream of many Minneapolis/St. Paul homeowners. Beautiful homes with sprawling landscapes of are available throughout Anoka, Washington and Chisago Counties. But acting on the dream can be intimidating. There  are so many changes to consider. Fortunately, with good information and the right assistance, the process can be manageable. 

Before becoming a REALTOR®  my family transitioned from a corner lot house in North St. Paul to an acreage property in Anoka County just west of Forest Lake. It was quite a transition at the time. We had to learn about private sewer systems, well water and lack of internet access the hard way. We just didn't know enough to ask the right questions. I have shared my list of tips in the past but have started a video series with similar information. Today is the first video which quickly explains what a Septic Systems is and why compliance testing is important when buying Minnesota acreage.
