[Note to Readers: The views expressed here are solely those of Ross Kaplan, and do not represent Edina Realty, Berkshire Hathaway (“Berkshire”), or any other entity referenced. Edina Realty is a subsidiary of Berkshire.]

According to Feedspot’s latest “Top 40” list, the best Twin Cites real estate blog is Nick Leyendecker’s “Twin Cities Real Estate Blog,” coming in at #24.

Umm . . . Ok.

So, how does Leyendecker’s blog compare to this one?

Post Frequency:

Twin Cities Real Estate: 2 posts/month.
City Lakes: 30-40 posts/month.

Annual Posts:

Twin Cities Real Estate: 24.
City Lakes: about 400 average.

Posts – Subject Matter:

Twin Cities Real Estate: mostly profiles of Leyendecker Realty listings, that appear to be “cut and paste” verbatim from MLS.
City Lakes: original content ranging from Twin Cities housing trends to economics to insights about real estate marketing, negotiating, and Buyer/Seller psychology.

Of course, I’d never ask readers to simply take my word for it.

Rather, read both blogs, and decide for yourself.

Or, just search Google for “Twin Cities Blogs” . . .

Of course, not all busy streets are created equal: depending on how far the home is set back; elevation differences; the individual home’s layout; and even landscaping and other topography, and the noise level/loss of privacy can vary significantly. Two Strategies Faced with so many variables, Realtors and Appraisers can always simply choose an average discount — say , 10% off. Strategy #2? Choose as Comp’s (Comparable Sold Properties) only homes that are also located on busy streets. Even better: the same busy street. Then, there’s no need to make any adjustment, because all the home...

“What’s the Highest Point in Hennepin County?”

There sure seems to be some confusion on that, umm . . . point. I’ve now encountered at least three different properties — none close to one another — that all claimed that status in just the last month. For the record, according to Hennepin County’s website, it’s on Williston Road near High Point Road in Minnetonka — 1,131 feet above sea level.

Image

Like today, in Linden Hills, where a builder who has an upcoming listing saw my car and asked if I was a Realtor. I know what to do from there . . .  from RSSMix.com Mix ID 8230700 http://ift.tt/2glixp5 via IFTTT
