New housing construction in the Twin Cities metro region is lagging slightly behind last year. The number of new apartments being built has seen a drastic decline, while the construction of single-family homes seems to be holding its ground.

In the month of April there were a total of 350 permits issued, to build a total of 451 units across the metro region according to data released by the Builders-Association of the Twin Cities (BATC). Compared to this time last year the number of new apartment permits issued was down 20 percent.

"We’re pleased to see stable numbers, but with early-year forecasts across the board predicting a year of more substantial gains, being flat is disappointing,” commented BATC President Chris Contreras.

We have had the unique opportunity to utilize Ryan in two relocations, both moving to Minnesota and out of Minnesota. Ryan’s enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail made the sometimes stressful selling and buying experience much less daunting than it would have been without his help. In buying a new property, he was very observant to our wants and needs, previewed properties and didn’t waste our relocation weekends showing us homes we wouldn’t be interested in. He has the great ability to understand quickly what we liked or disliked, and offered a professional opinion instead of not really having much to say, as many brokers do. He has up-to-date and in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market. As far as selling our home, Ryan’s sales strategies have been very helpful to us and has given us confidence in the decisions we are making to sell our home.

I really appreciated Brace's marketing ability and his command of the Internet. Brace really did his homework and they did a very thorough job. It took a little time to sell the house, but we had far more showings and we generated more interest than the previous year. Ultimately we were able to sell the house and we actually bought a smaller house through Brace as well.

In what is obviously a tough current housing market, the Brace Helgeson Group successfully sold our Eden Prairie home in only 33 days. Brace himself accurately predicted the top single thing we needed to do to sell our porperty in his first three minutes visiting the house. Ryan Platzke found us our new Eden Prairie home in less than ten showings. Their personal attention to our needs and their staff's service was top notch throughout the buy/sell process. Well done!
