The data rich Twin Cities Housing Market 2010 Annual Report was recently released by the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. This report covers the 13 county metro area. Longfellow (area 303) came in #1 and #2 in a couple of categories that you actually WANT to place high in. Longfellow ranked #2 in percent of original list price received, at 95.3% or original list price received. This likely means that homes are being priced well and are therefore commanding a higher percentage of the list price. Longfellow was at the top of the list for "days on market until sale" at 74 days! These two measures point to a healthier real estate market and suggest strong demand for the area. This comes as no surprise to me. Longfellow is an amazing place to live!!

Living in Longfellow
I have lived in the greater Longfellow neighborhood with my family for the past 8 years and I absolutely love it here! There are so many great amenities in the area - coffee shops, restaurants, shops, parks and of course the beautiful Mississippi River. One of the things I love the most about the neighborhood is the feeling of community in the heart of the city. Our National Night Out block party is one of my favorite events of the year! I am fortunate to have such fantastic neighbors.
As a Realtor, I have many clients who have purchased homes in Longfellow and usually have clients that are considering a new home in Longfellow. I am creating this blog for my past, present and future clients. (If other folks want to read it, that is fine too!) My goal is to show off a bit of Longfellow - to give a good introduction to folks who are considering living here and perhaps help current residents discover something new.

To start things off, I am using a photo of me on a billboard just East of 36th Street on Lake Street in Longfellow.
