    Summer has officially arrived in Stillwater—and it’s not being shy about it! With scorching temperatures, golden hazy skies, and the unmistakable call of poolside relaxation, river adventures, and laid-back evenings on the porch, we are truly in the heart of what we yearn for all winter long: hot summer days and steamy, lazy summer nights.

     

    But while the season invites us to slow down, the real estate market is anything but idle.

    🔥 Market Pulse: Seller’s Market Still Strong

     

    This week, the Market Index dipped again slightly to 48, continuing a recent downward trend. While that movement has caught my eye, I’m not concerned. This remains a strong seller’s market, and homes that are priced and presented well continue to move quickly—especially in desirable pockets like the one I’m about to share with you.

    🏡 Featured Listing: Arcola Bluffs Beauty

    I’m thrilled to share one of the most exceptional listings I’ve had the pleasure to represent—a stunning home located just north of downtown Stillwater in the prestigious Arcola Bluffs neighborhood. This area is one of my absolute favorites. With its elevated views, mature trees, and quick access to the heart of Stillwater, Arcola Bluffs blends tranquility with convenience.

    📸 Take a look at this phenomenal property 10923 Quinlan Avenue. Trust me, it’s not one to miss.

    With three decades of experience in the St. Croix Valley, I bring hyper-local insights and deep-rooted relationships to every listing and every client. From pricing strategy to staging to negotiation, my goal is always the same: maximize your home’s value and make your move seamless.

    If you’re wondering whether it’s a good time to list—let’s talk. Timing, preparation, and strategy make all the difference in this nuanced summer market.
