Welcome to Rita Larson'sMinneapolis Real Estate Website

Welcome! Here You Can Find Great Information on Twin Cities Real Estate

Minnesota is a theater of seasons, and for that reason the weather is an important topic here. Don't be fooled by some of the reports. We don't "live in a refrigerator." Spring brings the end of colder temperatures and the snow, the emergence of tulips and the re-birth of Minnesota's scenic greenery. Twin Cities' residents particularly favor summer. With the arrival of summer and longer days, people start gardening, biking, golfing, and playing water sports.

Summer is highlighted with many festivals and celebrations including the Minneapolis Aquatennial with its fun activities. Fall is spectacular as the green transforms into vibrant shades of color. A walk in the woods or a country drive becomes a breathtaking experience.

Winter covers the cities with a clean blanket of soft snow. It is a magical and celebrated season here in Minnesota. People get out their warm layers of clothing to participate in all of the exciting winter activities such as ice skating, skiing, ice fishing and snowmobiling. Minnesotans embrace winter with the St Paul Winter Carnival and the Minneapolis Holidazzle parade of lights during the holiday season.

Accepting An Offer >Know Your Price Range

As a homebuyer, you may have found the perfect new house for your growing family, but what if it is a little out of your price range? You might list your current home for more than it is worth and be lucky enough to find a qualified buyer who is willing to pay the price, but it is impossible to know in advance what your home will sell for.

If you want to sell your home quickly, have a frank and detailed conversation with your real estate agent to determine the best price for the house. Setting your price within 5% of the fair market value of your home greatly increases your chances of getting solid offers that will result in a relatively quick sale.

Don't buy and sell so close to your target amount that you become anxious when the numbers don't meet your expectations. There may be other approaches, such as adjustable rate mortgages or owner financing, to increase your buying power and get you into that new home. When you are selling one home and buying another, you will need more than good luck. You will need a highly professional and experienced real estate agent who can give you solid advice on how to make the transaction work for your particular requirements.
