The Como Park Market Trends and Stats have just been released from the Minneapolis Association of Realtors (MAR).  The Como market still remains one of the strongest in all of St. Paul.

Como Park did see a decrease in inventory last year in 2008 (197) to 2007 (230), which was a 14.3% change.  A decrease in inventory is not always a bad thing, especially for sellers.  Less inventory means better competition between properties.

The average sales price in Como has dropped down to $188,925 in January and took an overall drop to $201,473 in 2008, which is a 10.8% decrease in average slaes price from 2007.  Sellers are still receiving about 93.5% of their asking price when they sell their home, by far the best percentage in St. Paul.

The average days on market for a home to sell in Como Park is roughly about 4 months, depending on the agent.  Our team has sold many Como Park homes in less than a week with multiple offers.  There has  been a 18.4% increase in days on market from 2007 to 2008 in Como Park.  In January, there was an average of 75 homes listed for sale in Como Park.  This is pre-spring market inventory so I expect that number to jump up drastically in the next few months.

In July of 2008, President Bush signed a major housing bill (H.R. 3221) into law.  As part of the housing bill, Congress has created a new, temporary tax credit to provide an incentive for first time homebuyers.  The $7,500 credit will be available for the purchase of a principal residence on or after April 9, 2008 and before July 1, 2009.

This information has been based on the 7-30-08 Tax Bill and as with any law maybe subject to change.

Any Tax Credit is typically used to offset any taxes the new homeowner may be set to pay in.  For example, after you complete your taxes you are supposed to pay in $6,000.  If you were/are a first time homebuyer and have or will purchase a home within the above mentioned time frame, you would qualify for the credit.  You then would be eligible for the difference of the pay in and the credit meaning in this case a refund of $1,500.

Restrictions with the tax credit are as follows:

Single 1040 filing status > $75,000
Joint 1040 filing status > $150,000
10% of the purchase price of the home (example $40,000 purchase = $4,000 credit)

This is the majority of the information for the tax credit but is always subject to changes.  If you have any questions or would like more info - please feel free to email or call anytime (651-468-9099).
