I get my information from the city and the real estate association.<br /><br />Info from the city:<br />Number of Point of Sale Inspections for single-family properties:<br /><br />2007 – 428<br />2008 – 439<br />2009 – 449<br />2010 – 351<br />2011 – 339<br />2012 – YTD is 338, which is 57 more than at this time last year. Based on this, we can project 412 property inspections by year-end, which is the most since ’09 and very close to numbers from 2007 (prior to the housing bubble burst).<br /><br />Total number of Sheriff’s sales on foreclosed properties in Crystal since Jan. 1, 2007: 826<br />2007 - 115<br />2008 - 178<br />2009 - 144<br />2010 - 160<br />2011 - 129<br />2012 (as of 10/17/12) - 100<br /><br />This suggests that the number of Sheriff’s sales is trending lower since the peak years of ’08-’10.<br /><br />These are just some of the indications of the housing recovery, not only in Crystal but regionally and nationally.<br /><br />Here’s an address to the good news on foreclosures from just today: http://www.wcvb.com/news/money/Foreclosures-fall-in-62-of-US-cities/-/9848680/17124824/-/ytlkv6z/-/index.html<br /><br />The information about the market I get from the real estate association is located at the following address: <br />http://www.mplsrealtor.com/market.aspx<br />Go to "the Thing to get specific information about Crystal and you can also compare Crystal to other cities. It is a great web site with good information from the private market. <br />If I knew your area, I am willing to drive around and take a closer look. While campaigning 4 years ago, I noticed our neighborhoods were looking worn. However, I can see improvements in most neighborhoods.<br /><br />Will you provide me a cross street location so that I can take a look? Let me know if you have other questions or comments. <br />Thanks again!!<br />ReNae<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218551591696448891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934696132996218958.post-46160048689759791242012-10-23T18:45:15.547-07:002012-10-23T18:45:15.547-07:00Mayor Bowman, you say that property values are inc...Mayor Bowman, you say that property values are increasing and homes do not linger on the market, however, this does not match what I anecdotally see with my own home value or the increasing number of homes for sale, many of which are vacant, in my neighborhood. Could you share the data you have to back up your statement about home values and time homes spend on the market? Bethany Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687060516851212338noreply@blogger.com
