Eagan Home Sales Up 50 Percent
Despite the uptick in sales, a new report by the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors shows new listings are down by more than 40 percent.
I am so excited to be part of the Eagan community. I'm a Minnesota native, and I lived in the Twin Cities when I studied English and journalism at the University of Minnesota. It's great to be back in the area.
I've been working as a community journalist for almost a decade. During college I worked at The Minnesota Daily in roles ranging from reporter to Editor in Chief. I also worked as an intern at the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Downtown and Southwest Journals in Minneapolis.
Then I moved to Winona, where I had also worked as a legislative correspondent during college. I covered education for the Winona Daily News. After a little more than a year there, I moved back to my hometown to work as the Business Editor for the St. Cloud Times. There I covered all things business, and wrote a three-day series about the problem of empty housing developments with my colleague. For the series we won a Frank Premack Public Affairs Journalism Award and a Sigma Delta Chi prize from the Society of Professional Journalists.
In my free time, I practice and teach yoga. I can't wait to get to some classes here in Eagan!
