It’s been an outstanding year for our team so far. We’ve been able to help 83 families buy or sell a home this year, and we’re looking forward to helping many more as the year goes on. We just wanted to bring you a few of the most recent numbers that show where our market is at and where it’s going.

There have been 1,750 home sales in the St. Cloud area over the last six months. This is a good, solid number for our market. Our pending sales are strong as well. We currently have 290 of them. 

We currently have 954 homes on the market in St. Cloud. This gives us about a four-month-supply of inventory, which is much more than there is in the Twin Cities. Our inventory is stronger, which helps buyers, while the average home can still sell within two to eight weeks if it’s prepared properly for the market.

How I Discovered My Calling in the Real Estate Business

I recently received an email from a good friend of mine that had some great questions in it. They were so good, in fact, that I wanted to answer them for you today.

A friend of mine, Jim Mcallister, recently sent in an email that asked a bunch of questions about my career. I thought I’d answer them today so you all can get to know a little bit more about me too. Here are Jim’s questions and my answers.

How did you get into the business? I started in real estate at a young age. My grandfather had transitioned from a career as a successful salesman to a successful real estate agent and found it was a good fit. He eventually talked me into moving back to Minnesota from Seattle to learn the business directly from him. 40 years later, here we are. My grandfather was a great teacher, and I've done my best to carry on his legacy.

Why do I stay in the business? The main reason is because it interests and excites me. It keeps me on my toes while giving me an opportunity to help people accomplish their goals and make one of the biggest investments of their lives. I love helping growing families, empty nesters, and everyone in between. The best part is having conversations with these people years later about how we made such a big difference for them.

This business excites me daily.

Now that summer is ending and we’re about halfway through the year, it’s the perfect time for a look at what’s going on in our St. Cloud market. 

Recently, I’ve received a lot of calls from people asking if it’s too late for them to jump into a real estate transaction. The truth is: no. 

Though summer markets are notoriously hot, this fall market is set to be excellent, as well. 

In the last six months, 1,621 homes have sold in our local market. With 3,200 families making a move, this has been a very good year so far. 

The current 363 pending sales we’re seeing today is down only just slightly from March, when that number was 452. 

Within a 20-mile radius of St. Cloud, there are 962 homes on the market. Compared to the 640 homes on the market we saw in January, this is a significant growth. 

With a good selection of homes, a market time between two to eight weeks, and interest rates at record lows, our current market holds a lot of great opportunities for buyers and sellers alike.
