Why should home buyers use the MLS?
To help you find a new home in Minnesota, we’ll tap into the local Multiple Listing Service or MLS, which is a database created and maintained by real estate professionals. It’s essentially a central hub for listing homes and properties for sale in the area. As only licensed agents can access and update MLS listings, you’ll need our expertise to navigate this valuable resource and find your perfect match.
The MLS can benefit home buyers like you in the following ways:
Find your dream home in Minnesota
Minnesota MLS listings allow real estate agents to share information about homes and properties for sale in the state. The MLS helps us search for listings from other agents across the state, making it easier for us to help you find your ideal home.
Learn more about the property
Additionally, the local MLS can provide detailed information about properties for sale, such as the square footage and lot size, features and amenities, when the home was built, estimated property taxes, school district, HOA fees (if applicable), number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the up-to-date listing price. All this information can help home buyers like you make an informed buying decision.
Minnesota MLS listings can help you gain insights into potential homes before you schedule in-person viewings, but they’re primarily accessible only to licensed real estate brokers and agents. We can help you access these listings, guide you through every step, and take the guesswork out of finding your dream home.
How to use the Minnesota MLS
The Minnesota MLS is a digital database that contains listings of homes for sale from affiliated real estate agents. These professionals regularly update their listings to ensure accuracy. As mentioned previously, Minnesota MLS listings are accessible only to licensed agents, so you will need our help to see them. Our agents here at Real Estate Corners can assist you in navigating the MLS and narrowing down options based on your specific preferences.
Navigating the details
It’s important to be diligent when exploring local MLS listings. Aside from paying close attention to the price, structure, location, and features, you also need to consider these additional factors:
- Days on the market: How long has the property been listed? This can indicate demand for housing in the area. A property that’s been sitting on the market for a longer period than usual might be overpriced, though this is not always the case.
- Sale type: Properties sold as short sales or foreclosures are often priced below market value, offering you a potential bargain. However, it’s important to note that these properties may require additional repairs or renovations.
Other factors to look at
Beyond the usual details, be sure to look at these factors when exploring Minnesota MLS listings:
- Property taxes
- Basement
- Year built
- Number of rooms and stories
- Flooring
- Heating and cooling
- Siding
- County
- Lot Size
- Style
- School district
