Minneapolis Condos That Went Pending For The Week Starting September 21
September 28, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Here is a breakdown of the Minneapolis condos that went pending during the last week:
- 17 condos/lofts in Minneapolis went pending (same as last week)
- Average pending sales price $277,105 (last wee ~$339k)
- Median sales price $159,900
- Days on market 82 (down a little bit from last week)
- Average price per square foot $262.82 (down from last week)
Takeaways
- Only two condos went pending for over $245,000. Those condos each had list prices of over $1.3 million and are located in Zenith Condominiums, so the pending sales price should be much lower if you removed these two units. Meaning only the small stuff continues to sell.
- There was $15,000 condo that sold, yes those are out there
Remember that numbers are pending, so they haven’t closed yet and stats were pulled from the MLS.

Stella’s Fish Cafe
September 23, 2009 By 1 Comment
Always a fun place to hang out whether it’s day or night is Stella’s Fish Cafe located in the heart of Uptown in Minneapolis. I have to say the best part about the entire place is the rooftop patio and to be honest, that’s the only place I have ever been been when I visit.
I have no idea why I didn’t grab a different picture of the skyline, never came to mind. The downtown skyline and views of Calhoun Lake is what makes Stella’s such a great place to kick back for a few hours along with the food. If you go at dusk or night, be fore warned that it gets crowded.
They have a good happy hour with 2 for 1′s and $5 apps.
I always keep it easy with the coconut shrimp, it’s one of my fav’s when I go. The jalapeno cornbread is not half bad either.
If you go:
1402 W Lake St
Minneapolis, MN 55408-2640
