April 15th - Tax day in the USA. It is either be a great time of year for some or not so great for others. Accountants, tax preparer’s, CPA’s, and other related professionals will be celebrating the end of a 2 1/2 month time crunch. Many american’s are celebrating a refund or dreading the tax bill that is due.
Whatever category you fit into, its a good time to think about our finances in general. A way to start may be to set goals for the upcoming year and make a plan to follow through.
At any rate, we all have reason to celebrate our completed taxes! Happy Tax Day!

We had a great weekend at the Lake Home & Cabin Show in Minneapolis last weekend. The real estate climate is upbeat & the numbers are proving it with an upswing in the market.
As with the talk, March was a better month - spring is finally on the horizon and buyers and sellers are out and about. The Arrowhead MLS had 19 closings this month, doubling up from just a month ago with 9. The Ely offices had 7 closings - up from just 1 in February. We all hope for a steady increase in business with new listings, showings, and sales.

Interest Rates have bottomed out once again! Every time some announcement happens from our government it seems to have a direct effect on the current interest rates for consumers purchasing or refinancing their current loans. This time is was the announcement that the government is going to start purchasing bonds and securties (See related artice).
Jeremy Byers at Northview Bank has rates in the 5’s right now (30 year fixed for primary homeowners with good credit) and they have been steadily around that mark for several weeks. Another great source for watching interest rates is BankRate.com.

Spring has sprung in Ely! The date says its spring, but the weather is having a difficult time cooperating with the calendar.
As for real estate, spring has really sprung with the amount of activity around the office. New transactions are coming together, buyers are coming to look at property, and the new listings are arriving.
We are going to the Lake Home & Cabin Show April 3-5 in Minneapolis and it is a great time to get properties listed prior to the show so we can get the information into potential buyer’s hands. We have been going to this show at the convention center for 5 years & it has been an excellent tool for getting our company name right at the people of the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and marketing our properties for sale. We have an attractive northwoods booth positioned on a corner for better exposure. If you’re coming to the show be sure to stop by & say “hi” to myself of any of our other agents who will be represented at the show.
