However, a large supply of homes for sale is helping keep home -price appreciation in the single digits, and sales activity is steady but not as frenzied as in recent springs, according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. "This makes for a healthy market," association President Joanne Smaby said Monday. She said the market is more balanced than in the past several years, when a large number of buyers competed for a smaller inventory, rapidly bidding up prices. The 7,406 new listings processed last month were barely more than in the previous May. At month's end, 18,726 homes were listed on the market, 2,608 more than in May 2001 and 5,289 more than May 2000, a spring when agents sometimes could not get buyers to new listings before they were sold. "Buyers are having more homes to see," said Smaby, an Edina Realty agent. "We're still finding multiple offers on good properties — that's not unusual — but we're finding homes that are dated and don't show well are accumulating market time." She said some multiple offers are for houses reduced in price. She said she thinks that more price reductions are occurring than in previous years, perhaps because of unrealistic "aggressive pricing." Although the number of new listings processed barely budged from May 2001, it was ahead of the five-year May average of 6,548. Similarly, the number of closed sales was up just 0.53 percent, but still ahead of the five-year average of 4,406. Closed sales usually reflect purchase agreements signed 45 to 60 days earlier. "Sales pending," those for which purchase agreements have been signed but which have not yet closed, reflect more -recent market activity; they totaled 5,357, down 7.72 percent from 5,805 in May 2001 but ahead of the five-year average of 5,206. Prices are rising even though sales pending are falling and inventory is not shrinking. In addition to a higher median price, the total value of sales closed last month was $985 million, up 11.61 percent from $882 million a year earlier. "At least were not accumulating inventory and not selling it," Smaby said, but she and association CEO Mark Allen found the mix of numbers a bit puzzling. At the end of January, about 15,000 homes were listed for sale. By contrast, that number was 12,656 for January 2001, 11,369 for January 2000 and 12,420 for January 1999. "We have not found a way to explain that increase from 2000 and from 2001," Allen said. "The puzzling part of it is that sales have maintained a very similar pace over that time period for the past three years ... so where an easy assumption would be that fewer homes are selling, that is not the case to any substantive degree. "The number of sales pending through May is off only about 1,000 from last year, he said. "The inventory increase is far more dramatic." In the low -inventory years, "the consumers were out there to buy real estate; that is measurable," he said. But for a two-year period, "fewer homeowners were willing to sell; what we don't know is why." — Neal Gendler is at nrendleaaslartri'bune.com. ® Copyright 2002 Star Tribune. All rights reserved. Metropolitan Council �� l Building communities that work June 21, 2002 Dwight Johnson City Manager City Of Plymouth 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447-1482 Dear Mr Johnson: The Metropolitan Council's preliminary estimates of population and numbers of households, as of April 1, 2001, for your community are attached. These estimates are based on complete -count Census 2000 data and the housing construction information you provide us for your community. The Census 2000 housing unit counts, by type of unit, vacancy information, and other important data for completing estimates were not released in time to be used in our estimate process this year. We plan to begin a careful review of the detailed Census housing data when it becomes available later this summer. We hope to rely on your local expertise to help us build a solid housing database on which estimates for the remainder of the decade will depend. We are very interested in your findings as you review your community's Census counts for accuracy. No reply to this letter is necessary. If, however, you have comments regarding the estimates, please submit them to me in writing by July 5, 2002. 1 would like to deliver finalized estimates to the Department of Revenue by mid-July. The estimates are used in the Department of Revenue's local aid formulas and by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MNDOT) for calculating local street aids.

In our last fiscal year, IOCP served 930 households in our eight -community area, more than 60% of them from Plymouth. Many of the people who come to our door are facing immediate crisis. IOCP reaches out to people to move them past CRISIS to CHOICES to long-term CHANGE. We face challenging days ahead. From the onset of the recession in 2001, we have been responding in record numbers to dramatically increased need.

The City of Plymouth has been a valued partner in working to build stronger families and a stronger community. There is simply no substitute for your faithful support as we face this challenge together. In the end it's about families and hope and children.
