WEEKLY MARKET ACTIVITY REPORT
  
During the first quarter of 2017, housing affordability has clearly become an issue for some buyers, as prices continue to rise amidst strong demand. Even so, pending sales figures have generally remained positive across the nation. A better balance between high-price inventory and starter homes being sold would be the most beneficial situation for the marketplace. | MORE
THE HOME PAYMENT REPORT
 
MAAR has a new tool for educating consumers and encouraging potential home buyers to make a move. The "MGIC/MAAR Home Payment Report" is a quarterly overview of typical monthly payments on homes recently sold in the Twin Cities’ 50 most active real estate markets. Download the report and share it with clients and prospects or include it in your own marketing pieces. The report was featured in the Sunday Homes section of the April 2 Star Tribune. | MORE
