Minnesota MLS Down

The NorthstarMLS Matrix system and MLS Co-op are temporarily unavailable due to a major power outage in Vancouver where the servers are located. The city originally expected to have the power restored by July 14, 5:00 p.m. central time, however it now looks like it will take longer because of underground electrical fires that need to be cleared before the damage can be repaired. The Matrix system will be restored as soon as possible after power is returned. In the meantime, click the MLXchange icon to the left to access Northstar MLXchange. We are very sorry for this inconvenience.

Thanks for sharing this information Scott. It is amazing to me how all of us as real estate agents are so dependent on the MLS here in Minnesota. We need it in order to search for properties, find comparable sales, set up showings…you name it! So you can imagine having the Minnesota MLS go down was not fun at all!

Thanks again for your comments. I really enjoy reading your entries!

	Low Ball Offers on Foreclosures-Revisited(0) I wrote a post about how to write a low ball offer on bank owned foreclosure properties in September 2010. You can review that low ball REO post here. I think that all of my original thoughts remain. Surprisingly though, I get many questions about this process. One example is that there are 74 comments [...]

	A Terrible Bedfellow(0) I have had two different customers call me in the last 6 months saying that their tenants have found bedbugs in their units. Unfortunately, both of these calls were from customers that owned 4-plexes. It turns out that bedbugs have become an increasing problem in the last couple years. More international travel and the bedbugs [...]

	Great Posts by Other Agents(0) I was reading posts on several of the other agents blogs over the weekend. I found some excellent posts that I wanted to share with anyone that reads this blog. Steve Howe posted a little insider information on his Minnesota First Time Home Buyers blog about how the typical Minnesota MLS search that you find on [...]

	Coming to a REO Near You(3) As we all know, in certain areas, vandalism of vacant houses is almost expected. When I am touring some neighborhoods, I am almost surprised when the copper water lines have NOT been stolen. I saw a house in North Minneapolis a couple years ago that had something that looked like steel plates over the windows. [...]
