SOLD! Congrats to our buyers, Vang & Suzy! 🎉 We met these great clients through the Dave Ramsey program as RamseyTrusted Pros, and we've truly enjoyed working with these two. Thank you for choosing Mindy Vang & our team to help you on this buying journey! Even though we faced a challenge due to a bad inspection report on the first house, we believe cancelling that offer was meant to be so that you'd find this home instead! Thrilled to help you save $9,900 between a lower price & seller concessions, too! ✨ Kudos to Mindy for always putting her client's best interest first & being their fierce advocate. 💪 #sold #closed #homebuyer #northsaintpaul #twincitiesrealestate #sandyericksonrealestateteam

Still Waiting for Rates To Come Down? When affordability is this tight, waiting for lower mortgage rates can feel like your only way in. But 41% of buyers who waited actually wish they'd bought sooner. And right now, inflation, the economy, and global events are all having an impact on rates – and could even nudge them up. So, waiting might not pay off the way you hope. You don’t have to buy now. Move only when the numbers work for you. But talk to a trusted lender first, so you know all your options. #HomebuyingTips #MortgageRates Contact us today for more info at 651-998-2098!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful review from our recent past client, Scott H: "Recently, my wife and I decided to sell our "forever" home we purchased 13 years ago to transition to a more realistic, "forever" home. We selected Sandy and her team because of the excellent experience we had with them buying our home back then. The team handled both the sale of our home and purchase of our new one. Both experiences have been completed with excellent results. Sandy handled the sale helping us navigate through the bumps that always occur in the process with excellent results. Her professionalism and experience are obvious and definitely were a big factor on the excellent results that were beyond our expectations. To purchase a home, we worked with Mindy Vang who we had never met. She was a breath of fresh air. Mindy is professional, knowledgeable and patient. Most importantly, though, she listened to the key factors and pricing that we desired and became a very helpful partner in making sure that we achieved that. We highly recommend Mindy!" Thank you again, Scott and Denise, for entrusting your move with the Sandy Erickson Real Estate Team! 🥰 #testimonial #clientreview #sellerbuyer #sandyericksonrealestateteam

Selling this fall? Starting strong matters even more this time of year. In the fall, buyer activity typically starts to slow while the number of homes for sale climbs. That means fewer buyers may be looking at more options – so you want your house to stand out from day one. Here’s the cheat sheet for how to make that happen. Price it for today’s buyers. Not what your neighbor sold for a few years back. Make your house hard to pass up. Tackle essential repairs and spend time on your curb appeal. Stay flexible when offers come in. This is not the season to play hardball. And be ready to adjust when needed. If you keep getting the same feedback from buyers, take it to heart. If you want to sell before the end of the year, let’s make sure you have the right strategy from the start. Because with the right plan, selling in the fall is a no brainer. #HomeSellingTips #SellYourHouse Contact us today for more info at 651-998-2098!

The best time to buy a home this year is here. Realtor.com says September 27–October 3 is expected to bring the best combination of buyer-friendly conditions in 2026. We’re talking about more homes to choose from, better pricing, less competition, and more time to decide. And maybe that’s enough to offset some of the pressure today’s higher rates are putting on your budget. Want to find out? Let’s have a quick conversation about what’s expected in our market and what’s available in your price point. Just DM me to get started. And just so you know, the window doesn’t close after that one week. It’s open all October long. #BestWeekToBuyaHome #HomebuyingTips Contact us today for more info at 651-998-2098!

Waiting for mortgage rates to come down may feel like the only way to make buying a home possible. But 41% of buyers who waited wish they'd bought sooner – before rates and prices rose again. Right now, factors like inflation, the economy, and global events are all having an impact on rates – and it’s not in the direction you’d hope. So, for a lot of buyers, waiting might not pay off. Sometimes it just means putting your life on hold for what feels like too long. Before you decide to hit pause on your move, talk to a trusted lender. They’ll go over options that can help make buying work at today’s rates, and how to get the best rate you can. You certainly don’t have to buy now. You should buy when the numbers work for you. But you should at least know your options before making a decision. #MortgageRates #HomebuyingTips Contact us today for more info at 651-998-2098!
