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.

I met Ryan after my house was on the market with a previous realtor for several months. I was discouraged, confused and strapped with a high mortgage after my divorce. Ryan stepped in and saved the day! He was very patient, knowledgeable about the industry and had all the right networking mechanisms in place. He worked extremely hard to sell my house which was poorly marketed initially and on top of that the market had just spiraled downward. This was a very emotional time in my life as I had already built another home but could not move in until the current home sold. One month prior to my house selling I lost my newly built home to a non-contingent buyer. The kids and I were devastated! Ryan pulled through again. He found us a beautiful home in the same development with even more up-grades than the house we built. This would not have been possible had it not been for Ryan’s excellent negotiating skills! Ryan is an exceptional realtor and with his wonderful staff behind him there is no team more qualified to handle your real estate transactions! Hire the best first. Hire Ryan!

I've done real estate all my life, and finding the right price is critical in selling a house. It was helpful to have Brace there to go through that with me and give me his counsel along the way. I didn't necessarily want to hear about the price of my house going down, but he delivered it as objectively as he could. Once I started getting offers, I was glad I had Brace representing me. His expertise in going through the process, talking it through with me, and handling the negotiations, was a huge support.

My wife and I were in a major time crunch to get our home sold because our new home was built ahead of schedule. We needed someone with area expertise and the ability to move quickly. Our mortgage broker recommended that we contact Ryan. After a brief discussion, he was ready to get the home listed. It was photographed, staged and ready for sale within a few short days. AND he had it sold within a few weeks! We were able to make it into our new home on time without having to move twice because of Ryan. We couldn't be happier

By the way, the house looks awesome with all your suggestions completed. The paint both up and downstairs is amazing. You are a Pro. . .

We sold our home with Brace in 60 days, when we received the first offer from our Buyer. Brace and his team were a true asset in pricing our home right, in making the key advantages of our home be noticed by buyers throughout the marketing materials,and in the ensuing negotiation after we received the offer. Brace knows Eden Prairie inside and out, and better than any other Realtor. He understood that this one was the offer, and prepared us to position the negotiation to maximize our revenue. We will say it again.. if your property is in the southwest metro, look no further! We do unconditionally recommend Brace and his team to anyone selling a home here. Thanks Brace!

Brace, thanks for taking the time to talk to us after the closing. We appreciated the chance to discuss the sales process face to face. I would not hesitate to recommend your team to anyone.
