Excelsior: Summertime Celebrations Not to Be Missed
Minnesota summers are full of fun and entertainment for all ages, and Excelsior homes for sale are right in the midst of the excitement. Here are two popular events offering another reason to make your home in Excelsior.
Lake Minnetonka 4th of July Celebration
Holidays are full of shared traditions that bring communities closer together. For more than 130 years, people have gathered for the day-long Lake Minnetonka 4th of July Celebration. More than 200,000 people are estimated to participate in the waterfront activities centered at Commons Park in downtown Excelsior.
- The day kicks off bright and early at 7:30 a.m. with the Firecracker Run. Choose from 5K and 10K timed races or a one-mile fun run. Routes begin at Excelsior Elementary and end at the Commons. Early registration fees, which include a t-shirt, are $30 for the one mile run and $42 for the longer races.

7 things to Look for During a Final Walk-Through
Your offer has been accepted, your finances are in order, and you're eagerly anticipating signing the final documents to officially own your dream home! Before the contracts are finalized, however, you'll need to perform one final walk-through of the property to ensure everything is in acceptable condition.
Even though the appraiser and inspector have already completed their assessments, it's still important that you give the interior and exterior of your soon-to-be home one last thorough examination. Here are seven things that we believe should be on your final walk-through checklist.
- Inspect the grounds.
Let's face it — with so much to inspect throughout the interior of the house, a detailed inspection of the exterior may fall to the wayside. However, it's important that you confirm that the condition of the yard is the same as you first saw it. Walk the grounds to make sure that exterior lighting, sprinkler equipment, foliage, and other items have not been removed. At the same time, you can also see if recent weather like rain or strong winds has damaged the exterior.
