FRIDAY(!) Open House


Tax Credit Countdown

When
: 4-6 p.m. today
Where: 4121 W. 28th St (28th & Inglewood Ave. So.), in St. Louis Park's Fern Hill neighborhood
What
: 4 Bedrooms (all up), 3 Bath 1937 Colonial with 3,000 square feet
How much: $549,900
Who: listed by Ross Kaplan, Edina Realty City Lakes

Will there be a burst of last minute home purchases ahead of today's tax credit expiration?

We'll find out.

Just to give procrastinators one last opportunity, I'll be at my listing at 4121 W. 28th St. (28th & Inglewood) in St. Louis Park's Fern Hill neighborhood from 4 - 6 p.m. today.

Highlights -- besides the value, location, and curb appeal -- include a beautiful, wood-paneled Family Room; four Bedrooms up; formal Living and Dining Rooms; and a ton of charm and character throughout.

Oh, yes: and an attached, 3-car garage with tons of extra storage space, plus a Gazebo in back.

P.S.: For more on whether today's deadline is a big deal or not, see "It's a mad dash for home tax credits," in today's Pioneer Press. Reporter Chris Snowbeck surveys several local agents -- including yours truly -- about whether the tax credits are going to expire with a bang or a whimper.

Latest Case-Shiller Numbers

Chris Snowbeck's Pioneer Press Article

Check out Chris Snowbeck's piece in today's Pioneer Press parsing Case-Shiller's September numbers, "Twin Cities home prices climb 1.8%."

As always, Chris does a nice job teasing out the cross-currents baked into the monthly numbers.

His piece finishes with a discussion of "strategic defaults," including a quote from yours truly.

Thanks, Chris!

Media Mention

Chris Snowbeck on Hijacked Listings

Chris Snowbeck has a nice piece on hijacked listings on the Pioneer Press' Web site today.

He goes beyond my posts on the subject with quotes from a few good, industry sources, and provides nice background and a national context.

He also credited me with flagging the subject on this blog way back in August (thanks, Chris!).
