Colin's experience includes first-time home buyers and sellers, relocation transactions, investment property analysis and acquisition, and move-ups as well as downsizing.

Colin's Market Overview
"2024 was a good year for me and my clients. I’m very grateful for their trust. I worked with sellers a bit more than buyers. With higher-than-expected interest rates settling in compared to the last several years, many buyers found themselves on the sidelines waiting for rates to calm down. This slowed the pace of the market but didn’t stop it. Homes that were priced correctly, very clean, presented well, and in good locations still found buyers in a short amount of market time. Minnesota brokers and agents reacted quickly to the new rules regarding commission disclosure, finding the correct way to work with the regulations.
Looking forward into 2025, the number of homes for sale in the Minneapolis/St. Paul marketplace will continue to be low. The pace of the market is still controlled by interest rates. If rates go down, we should see buyers come back and sellers be more apt to list if they can see a way to their new home."
