As the largest city in Minnesota, this urban center
adjoins Saint Paul, Minnesota’s state capital to form
the Twin Cities metro area. As the seventeenth largest city
in the nation, Minneapolis has a population of approximately
370,000 people.
New Construction Condominium
Residences
Minnesota is home to the Wild of the NHL, Twins of the MLB,
and Timberwolves of the NBA. With a growing population base
that is looking for more high-end yet affordable real estate
opportunities, Minneapolis presales and pre-construction condo
residences are in hot demand. Like any industry, real estate
follows positive and negative growth cycle called the real estate
property cycle and right now, as with many major cities in the
US, the lull and slow down has crept into the market. However,
this is no cause for alarm as there are still many affordable
and Minneapolis luxurious apartment condo suites that are greatly
priced and will only go up in value with time. Those who think
that Minneapolis real estate investing (either your primary
residence or investment property) is a short-term strategy should
think again as if you keep your condominium home or residence
apartment for at least ten years, you will have bucked the cycle
and will see another growth spurt. It has been proven in the
pre-construction Minneapolis real estate market that this will
always happen regardless of things that you cannot control including
in-flow migration and interest rates as examples. However, if
you are purchasing for the sole reason of investing, Minneapolis
condominiums and apartment townhomes and property located in
good areas (close to downtown business, transportation, safe,
secure, parkland, amenities, conveniences etc.) will provide
the most growth in your portfolio over time.
Why you should invest in Minneapolis Real Estate
Presales
The Minneapolis development real estate trends have been towards
more luxurious and high-end high-rise towers with penthouse
suites providing amazing views, estate homes and residences
as well as terrace apartments with large outdoor living spaces.
In addition, these high-rise towers will provide the utmost
in convenience including amenities within the master-planned
condo communities that include swimming pools, fitness centers,
concierge, business services, party areas and open decks for
viewing the city. Much of this stems from the hotel resort kind
of style of residence, and the Minneapolis property market has
focused on lifestyle and providing these services to the growing
demand of lifestyle oriented homebuyers in the marketplace.
In addition, many new first time home buyers in Minneapolis
are already looking at purchasing new presales real estate properties
(in comparison to before, when everyone rented and then bought
a very old property and fixed it up until they could afford
something nicer and larger in ways of a townhouse or home).
But times are a changing, and the Minnesota and Minneapolis
property market is following suit to better fit the needs of
the changing population. Urban density has increased quite significantly
within the past decade as well, as many home purchasers are
looking for condo units or apartment suites close to the downtown
Minneapolis core so that they are closer to work, entertainment
and shopping. This is all to do with the lifestyle choices that
people have nowadays and demand in new pre-construction real
estate developments. Also, most condo towers have to be pet
friendly and should allow for affordable pricing in terms of
HOA fees and other condominium fees. Most new construction properties
will also come with extended warranties for the building envelope,
interiors and communal area maintenance, which bodes well for
upkeep and future property value increases. Whatever you are
looking for in terms of style and type of property, Minneapolis
will deliver the best of luxurious yet very well priced residences
in pre-sales phases. Just look around.
About Minneapolis, Minnesota
The city of Minneapolis is located in the southeastern portion
of Minnesota along the Mississippi River. There are approximately
twenty four lakes within the city as well. The name ‘Minneapolis’
actually came from an Ojibwe word meaning ‘at the falls’
as it is located near the only waterfall along the Mississippi
called Anthony Falls.
Segregration between the whites and blacks has always been a
troubling fact in Minneapolis. Fortunately, the recent revitalization
of many city districts have given way to more affordable and
modern housing for all Minneapolis residents. Minneapolis is
considered to be one of the safest and urban downtown cities
in the nation today and is leading the charge in new real estate
pre-construction condominium projects.
The Minneapolis Properties Market
Durig the 1950s, the real estate property developments slowed
and the downtown Minneapolis population saw a major decline. However,
during the past decade, the Minneapolis downtown population has
increased significantly with the recent arrival of many pre-construction
condominium towers. Many of the older buildings have now been
converted into loft-style residence homes and other Minneapolis
pre-construction condo real estate properties. In 2000, there
were approximately 20,200 residents living in the downtown core.
By 2005, this number had grew to 29,350 and by 2010, this number
is expected to rise to some 40,000 people. With this increase
in population density, the number of real estate projects, condominium
towers and exclusive homes and residences in downtown Minneapolis
has increased, leading to higher prices, smaller condo residences
and a larger competition to own real estate. |
