Getting in Shape for Summer 2016! Part 2!

Hey guys, Nick Landon of The Lake Minnetonka Home Team!  Almost exactly I month ago I wrote a blog about starting to eat healthier and transitioning our diets into a lifestyle. I have been asked several times by people at my local gym (Anytime Fitness in Mound) about how I eat.  Until a few weeks ago I would have told you I didn’t have a steady meal plan and enjoyed pizza and ice cream daily.  I am now back on the lean diet train for summer and watching what and when I eat my food.  Here are a few examples of my meals throughout the day.

Breakfast:  Option 1: 2 whole eggs – 160 calories, 2 pieces of wheat toast (no butter)- 150 calories, Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein in 2 cups of skim milk -280 calories, multi vitamin. Total of 590 Calories.

Option 2: Thomas Everything Bagel -270 Calories, One serving Whipped Cream Cheese- 70 calories, Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein in 2 cups of skim milk -280 calories, multi vitamin. Total of 620 Calories.

Snack: Piece of fruit (usually a banana)- 100 calories.

Lunch: Chicken breast (6 oz) – 276 calories, 2 pieces of wheat toast (no butter)- 150 calories, 2 cups of skim milk- 160 calories, lettuce- negligible, Cheese (1/8 cup)- 60 calories. Total: 644 Calories.

Option 2:  97% Lean Ground Beef (6 oz)-204 calories, Pasta (2 servings) – 400 calories, Tomato Sauce 1 cup- 140 calories. Total: 744 calories

Pre-workout: 6 oz steak (eye of round-trimmed)- 211 calories , 1 cup of rice- 340 calories, broccoli, water. Total: 601 Calories.

Post workout/ Dinner: Chicken breast (6 oz) – 276 calories,  Pasta (2 servings) – 400 calories, Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein in 2 cups of skim milk -280 calories. Total: 956 Calories.

Before Bed Snack: 2 whole eggs – 160 calories, 2 pieces of wheat toast (no butter)- 150 calories, 1/2 cup rice- 170 calories. Total:480 Calories.

Total Calories Per Day: 2800-2900 Calories.

This is a fairly bland but lean meal plan with minimal fat intake. The amount and type of calories can always be adjusted by changing the portion size or switching some foods for healthier alternatives (Ex. whole eggs for egg whites, ground beef for turkey.) My meal plan consists of this many calories because it is meant to gain lean weight. If  you want to lose weight slowly and retain muscle you can follow a similar diet plan.

Once again this is my personal eating plan and everybody’s reacts differently to food. I am not a certified nutritionist or personal trainer but do take my health seriously. Eating healthy is hard but it is possible with the right mental attitude and envisioning your goals. Good luck out there getting ready for summer and the lake!

Getting in Shape for Summer 2016: Start by Counting!

Hey guys, Nick Landon from the Lake Minnetonka Home Team here! Whether you took a vacation south of the border or stayed right at home, I hope everyone in the Lake Minnetonka area had a wonderful Spring Break! If you kept up with your gym membership and workout routine throughout the winter then kudos to you! On the other end, if you found out that your favorite swimsuit was a little tighter on vacation then I have a few tips on how to get back to feeling good and into Lake Minnetonka swimsuit form!

–Start in the kitchen!

In my opinion the hardest but best way to slim down is to  start in the kitchen. Before changing your diet, write down what you eat for a week and at what time. At the end of every day add those calories up and if you don’t know the amount calories in the food you eat there are plenty of websites that will help you out. You may find you aren’t eating as healthy as you thought and see its time for a change!

After a full week (or two) of counting your daily intake of calories, the next step is to change the diet.  Start with little changes like swapping a hamburger for a chicken sandwich, fries for veggies, pop for water, or ranch dressing for vinaigrette. Once you have conquered the realization of how you eat and what you eat its time to watch this video to really get counting and shape up!

This video teaches us how to break down our calories even further into three groups: carbs, proteins, and fats and applying that to the foods we eat. Steve used a 40% carb/40% protein/20% fat split in his video which for most of us is a little too much. I would recommend using a 25% protein 50% carbs, and 25% fats for your daily calorie split and adjust from there as needed.  Using this calculator  will help us find out how many calories we should be eating a day and how much we should be eating to lose or gain 1 lb a week.  Once we have our daily caloric intake number we will be looking to cut (or add) 3500 calories or 1 lb per week, which breaks down to 500 calories a day. For example  if the calculator says you need 2300 calories in one day to maintain your current weight, drop that number to 1800 calories. From there we will do our split of 25%  proteins/50% proteins/25% proteins on the 1800 calories.

Math example: 2300 (calories to maintain current weight)- 500 (calories a day to lose 1 lb. in a week) = 1800 calories per day.

For Calorie Splits: 1800 x .25 = 450 calories of protein, 1800 x .50 = 900 calories of carbs, and 1800 x .25 = 450 calories from fats.

This should get everyone off to a good start and get the motivation flowing for a workout!  I have personally used this method for my own eating regiment and I can attest first hand it works if you stick to the plan and keep counting! I am not a certified personal trainer or nutritionist and this article is based on my opinions but I love being healthy and going to my local fitness center. This is not going to be easy but its a change for a healthier lifestyle and once you get it to be routine you will love the way you feel and live.  Feel free to send me emails with questions and be on the lookout for more of my own personal fitness blogs! See you at the gym!

Lake Minnetonka Area Homes: How Does Your Existing Home Compete with New Construction?

Aerial View of Lake Minnetonka!

Many people look for Lake Minnetonka area homes for different reasons. Young families come here for the great schools in Mound, Orono, and Wayzata. Empty nesters want a Lake Minnetonka home to retire in and call their own. Others enjoy  recreational sports on the lake and what the surrounding business’ have to offer. There is something for everyone in the Lake Minnetonka community to enjoy and builders are capitalizing on this opportunity.

Over the past few years builders have  purchased surrounding golf courses and large acreage lots to build new homes in the Lake Minnetonka community. This is great news for the area as it creates an expanded tax base, feeds local business’ and shows overall healthy suburban growth.  From a real estate perspective these new homes have affected some existing home owners values. Buyers have the option of purchasing new vs used for close to the same price, the former will usually win out.  Many buyers want prefer the turn key new home and its energy efficient qualities. So what can you do as an existing-home seller to make your home appealing to today’s buyer? The Lake Minnetonka Home Team has a few ways of combating these new homes to net you the most money possible in our current market.

 Advertising

You don’t have to take a marketing class to know that the more people who see your home the better your odds will be to find the right buyer. Call us old fashion, but we still do paper advertising in the Lake Minnetonka Magazine  (which mails to 15,000 homes), Star Tribune Homes Magazine, and the local Laker paper. Although, we definitely don’t stop there, as our private website ranks high on google and we actively market on Facebook, Zillow, Trulia, LinkedIn, and Twitter. From the newspaper reader to the person who never sets down their phone, we advertise to them all! Our job is to have your home seen by as many people as possible and stay one step ahead of big construction advertising.

Promote Your Strengths

To net  top dollar on your home you need to stand out from the competition and the best way to do that is capitalize on your greatest assets. New construction homes in developments are nice but are often times the same build throughout, leaving little room for unique features. In many cases the lot and landscaping can cost tens of thousands of dollars in new construction.  On an existing home the mature lot and landscaping is already in place.  Does your existing home have a four season porch, a sauna, built in home theater, front porch, or custom patio? These are all big ticket items on a new construction. Whether its a great neighborhood or a unique home feature, you most likely have an asset that the new construction is lacking. These are some of the features that we focus on when a buyer comes into your home and starts to make comparisons to new construction.

Sell Your Surroundings

Buyers who choose new construction will have the newest kitchen, energy efficient mechanicals, new paint, and carpeting but will be lacking in features you cannot build overnight. Existing homes have matured, quiet neighborhoods while in a new development you may be living in a construction zone for years to come. Also new construction can be further from community buildings, grocery stores,  and schools.  Again, don’t forget about landscaping costs which can get into the tens of thousands on a new home!

You may not have the newest home but beautiful landscaping goes a long way!

Ultimately most people will know what they are looking for when it comes to buying their next home. Do they want a bigger kitchen in the new build or the custom woodwork in an existing home? Explaining the facts, informing buyers, and giving buyer the proper information can make or break getting a deal done and that is what The Lake Minnetonka Home Team Strives to do for existing home owners. 

Do you live in the Lake Minnetonka area and thinking of putting your home on the market? Give Tim Landon a call at 612-978-5471 or Nick Landon at 612-280-2758 and we would love to meet with you!

Lake Minnetonka Area: Home Sale Numbers for 2015

Hey guys! Its Nick Landon of The Lake Minnetonka Home Team and I wanted to take some time to talk about housing sales from 2015 for our area and the direction of our market. I’m going to go over the three cities on Lake Minnetonka where The Lake Minnetonka Home Team does most of their business. These three cities include Mound, Orono, and Minnetrista.

City of Mound: Real Estate in 2015

Mound saw an upward surge in its housing market during the 2015 year and I plan to see it gaining momentum into 2016. New listings in Mound increased by 13% and closed homes increased by a whopping 23%! Average sale price of homes went from $261,132 to $284,620 which is a nice jump of  9% in home value. Days on market are still hovering just above 100, which is a  below average number for the Lake Minnetonka  area and homes are fetching 95.1% of original asking price which is phenomenal!

*Sample size from 372 listings in 2015

City of Orono Real: Estate in 2015

Just like Mound, Orono saw an uplift in its housing market in 2015.  New listings in Orono shot up 10% and closed sales were 33% higher than the previous year! Average price per home was up 7% at $783,000 but homes only fetched 93% of their original asking price, which was down 1% from 2014. Days on market was 172 days on average which was 20% higher than 2014, this explains why we dropped 1% on the original asking price. The longer a home is on, the more likely it is to be reduced in price.

*Sample size from 326 listings in 2015

City of Minnetrista Real: Estate in 2015

Minnetrista also benefited from the year 2015. Listings were up by 18% and closings were up by 26% at 153 closed homes! Average home price in Minnetrista  rose 13% to $558,800 from its 2014 levels and remained stable at 95% of asking price. Days on market went unchanged also with an average time of 131 days.

*Sample size from 375 listings in 2015

Looking Ahead

Our Lake Minnetonka area saw great numbers in 2015 and look to continue that into 2016. In 2015 Residential real estate had its best year since 2005 and housing demand has followed suit reaching ten year highs as well. With this demand we have seen home prices jump up 5-10% but we still lag behind our peak in 2008-09  by 10-15%, with the higher percents being on the more expensive homes. Even though inventory was up in 2015, we still need to keep that momentum into 2016. Buyers are out there and with the interest rate height projected to be 4.5% by the end of 2016, people will want to get into a home and lock in a low rate. It may sound scary but 4.5% is still a great rate when compared to the past.

Sellers will be happy to hear that over the past 45 months we have seen a continuous year over year rise in home prices. If you are thinking of selling it might be a great time this spring as there are plenty of buyers out there and your home value will  be the highest it has been in the past four years. We are sitting in an almost balanced market between buyer and seller, some leeway still to the buyer but it is not much. Being this stabilized in the housing market is great for the economy and consumer. With so much positive data going forward The Lake Minnetonka Home Team will be looking forward to helping plenty of people this coming spring and summer!

My Top 5 Tasks Before Putting Your Home On The Market This Spring

Hey guys, its Nick Landon of The Lake Minnetonka Home Team! The holidays are done, work schedules are getting back to normal, and we finally have ice on Lake Minnetonka for the fisherman! As we all dream of warmer weather outside, some sellers are busy indoors getting ready to put their home on the market for this coming spring. These are the top 5 things I am looking for whenever I come into a home that is getting ready for sale.

#5: Make that Bathroom Shine!

Bathrooms can be a very happy or scary place for a buyer. I think we would all like to be able to say we have a pristine private area but that is just not the case. Keep the sink area de-cluttered except for maybe a few decorative soaps or candles. Buyers want to see how much space they will have to get ready on a busy morning! Trash bins, toilet cleaning supplies, and reading material can be hidden during showings or opens. We want people open the shower door or slide back the curtain and say “Wow! Look how clean it is!” Consider doing a new silicone bead job  for old caulking that is cracked or stained and bleach has always worked wonders for an old shower floor. Don’t forget to shine off the water spots and if the vanity is looking tired try adding a new coat of paint to it for a fresh look! A clean bathroom gives a great feeling to a potential buyer!

#4: Upgrade Complete!

One of the largest misconceptions I run into when sellers start thinking of putting their home on the market is “What I put in, I’ll get out”. For example replacing all your 90’s appliances and counter tops with granite and stainless steel which may cost $6000 dollars or more. Do not remodel just to sell, but do it for your enjoyment and appreciate it for a few years because it will still be “new” when it comes time to sell. Returns will vary but if you are lucky you may get 80% return on the  new kitchen you put in two weeks before your home goes on the market. It was your hard earned money in that kitchen, enjoy it for awhile! If you are looking for a quick spruce up in the kitchen the cheapest route is always a neutral paint or cabinet hardware.

#3: Lighten Up on the Paint!

A segway from #4, the cheapest, best, and quickest upgrades you can make to your home are paint and lighting. If your daughter had to have the hot pink room back in the 4th grade but is now off at college, it may be time to neutralize. Buyers come into a home looking to make it theirs and certain paint jobs can threaten them. If you have some “lovely” colors throughout your home consider switching to tans, off whites, or lighter browns. It will allow for a buyer to envision their belongings much easier in the home and a fresh coat of paint will give that newer home smell! Lighting isn’t as big of a task as paint but make sure the light bulbs are all in working fashion and are of the same consistency.

#2: Making Your Home into a House!

Although grandma’s photo on the beach in her bikini is a great memory from a family vacation, it may give the buyer some unwanted nightmares. De-cluttering of the personals is another way of increasing your chances of finding a buyer for your home. Trinkets, knick knacks, and family photos must be reduced to a minimal number. It will give the house a feeling of having more space and once again make it easier for the buyer to envision it as their own. If the closets are full, clear out at least 50% of the materials. Its hard for people to see potential space in a closet that is about to burst open. Also, if there are furry companions in the family there may be a certain odor to your home. A few air fresheners work wonders and routine grooming keeps hair to a minimum.

#1: The Outside Comes First!

Before I even step into your home I have made a partial judgment. Curb appeal plays a major role in every price range. Now I’m not looking for your shrubs to have a perfect sphere cut but if you do have a garden lining the front of your home make sure there are more planted flowers and shrubs than weeds. If the driveway is looking a little banged up from the seasons a new sealant coat is cheap and efficient for immediate appeal to a potential buyer. For Lake Minnetonka home owners, clearing weeds close to shore makes you stand out from the rest. Other outside factors include cleaned gutters, clear out the “old treasures” on the sides of the home, roofing, dead grass (animal spots), and removal of spider webs/dead insects from the outdoor lights! It may seem like a lot, but if all of this is taken care of a buyer may be sold before they even come in! I have found that curb appeal is almost always a 90%+ return on investment.

Of course, there are  a few more topics I could touch on but if you can check these 5 subjects off your list you are ahead of the game for putting your home up for sale and netting top dollar! If you are thinking its almost time to make a move my father and I would love to meet and take a walk through your home! As always you can reach me via email at Nickjlandon@gmail.com or 612-280-2758.

Another home sold by The Lake Minnetonka Home Team on Bass Lake! 11550 54th Ave N.!

Beautiful Bass Lake Home!

The Lake Minnetonka Home Team has recently sold another home on Bass Lake in Plymouth! Stepping slightly further east, The Lake Minnetonka Home Team had the opportunity to list 11550 on beautiful Bass Lake in Plymouth. The serene lot offers nature at its best while still being close to the city for a quick jump to work or shopping. Companies have even shot commercials at the lot because it is just that beautiful!

Granite counter tops, wood floors, and paneled cabinetry!

When pulling up to 11550 you immediately notice the positives the home has to offer. Newer Timberline Architectural shingles make the roof look pristine and the color looked beautiful during the changes from fall to winter. The Mediterranean style brick garage and entry way gives guests a fun and warm welcome while providing the home with a custom look. Don’t forget about the  spacious three car garage and over-sized driveway for all the relatives to come over and have a parking spot!

Greet guests through glass pane double doors into the large front entryway. Meander to the kitchen where you will find hardwood floors, paneled cabinetry, granite counter tops and a beautiful bay window that lets in plenty of natural light while you enjoy a peaceful breakfast. The granite bar makes the perfect spot to set up appetizers as guests roam between the kitchen and living room or serves as a quick spot to grab a morning meal before work. Just a few steps from the kitchen into the living room you will find a wood burning fireplace and sliding glass door to the deck where breathtaking sunsets over Bass Lake will say goodnight as the stars come out.

Entertain on the deck and by the fire!

The over-sized master bedroom down the hall looks out to Bass Lake so you get a beautiful view every time you get in and out of bed. Also has a large walk in closet and master bath!

The lower level family room with gas fireplace and bar makes for the perfect spot to have friends over for the big game or run in and out to Bass Lake during the summer. Go from the couch to the lake in a matter of seconds through the Andersen sliding glass door and 1900’s cobblestone patio made with cobblestone from the old Minneapolis streets!  The lake is only a few steps away!

There is also ample living space in the lower level with two extra bedrooms for guests coming in from out of town or the older children in the family. Feel free to turn one into a home office that faces out to beautiful Bass Lake! An over-sized bath provides enough room for several people to get ready in the morning!

What a view of Bass Lake!

The new owners of this home will surely enjoy watching eagles, trumpeter swans, and sunsets from 11550! The Lake Minnetonka Home Team was proud to list this home and I’m sure the owners will enjoy it for years to come!

Winter 2016 and First Time Home Buyers In The Lake Minnetonka Area

Attention first time home buyers around Lake Minnetonka! With the holidays approaching many of us will gather at a loved ones home and enjoy eating, drinking, and each others company.  We all have our favorite places around Lake Minnetonka to go to for the holidays but have you ever thought what it would be like to host everyone at your own home? Sounds like a  fun idea but some of you might be saying to yourself “Well, I would need my own home first but rent is holding me back from ever getting to that point.” This is where I would like to shed some light on the renting situation coming into 2016.

Most first time buyers I chat with think that renting is cheaper than owning a home, on the contrary, recent studies have shown that renters spend around 30% of their monthly income on housing while people paying their mortgage spend around 15% of their monthly income, a 50% cut from renting! At current interest rates (around 4%) its $475 a month per $100,000 on a mortgage. That means a nice starter home around $200,000 would cost about $950 plus taxes a month to own where as renting the same place costs $1,400 to $1,650 a month! Now I know what you are thinking, “That’s nice Nick but what about down payments?”

Don’t think you need 20% down to own a home, in fact most people don’t put down 20%. A lot of first time home buyers can only afford 3.5% to 10% down and that is just fine. To put it into perspective, 5% down on a home at a higher interest rate of 6% will break even after only four years when compared to renting. Additionally, homes in the Lake Minnetonka area are projected to increase in price at about 3% a year in our current market. With interest rates still hovering around 4% it is still a great time to get into that first home!

In less than 4 years, at 5% down and 6% interest, your home will be making you money when compared to renting!

I know its a big commitment  to get the ball rolling on purchasing a home but in the end I think you will find it is one of the best and most thrilling decisions to make! Happy holidays and feel free to call us with questions!

Back to School around Lake Minnetonka! How does my child’s school rank?

Hey guys, Nick here! Its that time of year again where we all leave the State Fair with a few more pounds and take one last boat ride around Lake Minnetonka admiring the beauty that nature has to offer.  As you send your children off to their first day of class at a school in the Lake Minnetonka area you might be asking yourself a plethora of questions. “What will my child learn today? Are the teachers qualified? What kind of testing will be done?” Your child’s education is important so I will shed some light on where the Lake Minnetonka schools rank among the state and even the nation!

Being in the Lake Minnetonka area there are many great schools to choose from including Wayzata, Minnetonka, Orono, and last but not least Westonka. All of these schools have been top 10 in rankings for our state and top 50 nationally for several years now. Whichever one you decide to send your child to will be a great choice! Most of my work involves the western side of Lake Minnetonka so I would like to focus on Westonka.

For the 13th consecutive year, as a district, the Westonka MCA test scores have ranked among the best in the state (Wayzata, Minnetonka, and Orono were up there too!)  ranking #4 overall in math and #2 overall in reading for 2015. ACT test score were an average of 24.5 in 2014,  3.5 points higher than the national average of 21 and 1.6 points higher than the Minnesota average of 22.9!  As a district Westonka ranked 2nd among Minnesota public schools and 6th overall in Minnesota. From award winning music to state competing sports teams and a 19 to 1 teacher to student ratio your child is guaranteed a wonderful school career at Westonka and will be noticed by top end colleges around the nation!

More details on all of these schools can be found at their respective websites using the above hyperlinks and of course I would be happy to answer any questions about the real estate market in the Lake Minnetonka area!

Why choose a professional to sell your home?

Hey guys, Nick here! Lately I have seen a few FSBO’s,  also known as For Sale By Owners, pop up around the neighborhood. To some it may seem like a great idea and they say “Why pay out a portion of my home to somebody else when I can do it myself?” In reality you can do it yourself but it may be a ride that you wish you never hopped on once you get started. I’m going to shed some light on why it may be a wiser choice to choose a realtor from the start and most likely save you money in the long run!

First you have to market your home. Most realtors have a personal website and an association website for the promotion of homes and drawing in those buyers. For example The Lake Minnetonka Home Team uses, Zillow, Trulia, Northstar MLS, Re/Max, Star Tribune Magazine, The Lake Minnetonka Magazine and our own personal website.  How would you plan to market your home against the homes being shown on these platforms?

As a FSBO you are a one man army against a trove of other people looking at your house as a chance to save money themselves. You are going to have to deal with buyers and their agents who will take advantage of you knowing you don’t have a professional at your side. After you have been beaten up by the buyers an inspector can come through, tear a deal down, and cause future buyers to shy away as they know an inspection fell through on your home.

The greatest challenge with being a FSBO definitely comes with the paperwork. Stacks and stacks of paperwork from title companies, real estate brokerages, lien wavers, inspectors, and mortgage companies. It can all add up quickly and things can go sour fast. I’ve heard of FSBO’s losing tens of thousands of dollars because they forgot to write a price in on the counter offer. You may think you are saving money without paying for an agent but they are looking at you as an opportunity to save money and a lot of times the winner is with the agent.

If people really want to try and sell their home without professional help I would say give it a try and see how it goes. After a few weeks of banging your head against the wall go ahead and call a realtor. We would  love to take your headaches!

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival!

Fun for Everyone!

Hey guys, Nick here from The Lake Minnetonka Home Team! As summer starts to wind down and the kids are getting ready to head back to school some of you might be starting to feel a
little down. Well when fall is near have no tears because the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is here!  If your house is listed and you are tired of taking the kids to a movie every time you have an open or just want to have a ton of fun on a Sunday or Saturday I highly recommend the Minnesota Renaissance Festival.

Some of you might say “I’m not into dressing up like a fairy tale character.” or “Dragons are for nerds.” Well, the Minnesota Renaissance Festival is much, much, more than that and I am here to shed some light on events for people of all ages and personalities!

Knights!

Every weekend there is a different theme for the festival so no visit is ever the same! Take the kids to shamrocks and shenanigans for a good laugh or swoon a lady for a date during the chocolate and wine festival. If neither of those suit you just grab a stein, fill it to the brim with mead, and watch a knight get thrown off their horse during the joust! Don’t forget to chomp on a delicious turkey leg either!

If there is an extra dollar in your pocket then join in on one of the many royal events around the festival.  My personal favorite is the Bawdy Beer Show! The food and beer will add some calories but the jesters will make you laugh so hard you will burn it right off!  If events aren’t your cup of tea feel free to meander through the endless rows of shops, you will lose yourself in all the fun!

Scrumptious Turkey Legs!

Whether you are a first time visitor or coming back for the 20th year in a row there are always jolly times to be had at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival! Dates and times can be found here at their website.
