  Welcome to Woodbury, named the best place to live among cities with less than 100,000 residents from Money Magazine in December of 2003. Woodbury was given these high marks based on home prices and property taxes being below the national average, a low crime rate, easy access to golf courses and our plentiful parks and recreational trails. Woodbury has an extensive history that dates back to 1844 when the first settlers arrived. Originally Woodbury was named Red Rock, after a sacred stone reportedly painted by the famous Dakota Chief Little Crow. In 1859 the town was renamed to Woodbury after Judge Levi Woodbury, a close friend of Woodbury’s first town board chairman. Today, Woodbury’s population exceeds 47,000 and is expected to reach 80,000 by 2010. Even though Woodbury is growing at a rapid rate, this vibrant city has 2,000 acres of dedicated park land and approximately 75 miles of trails. There are currently 38 neighborhood parks which form the cornerstone of the city’s park system and features amenities such as playground equipment, athletic fields, picnic areas, trails and skating rinks. Also available for families is the Tamarack Nature Preserve, Carver Lake and Ojibway Parks, Bielenberg Sports Center, Eagle Valley Golf Course, and Prestwick Golf Course in Wedgewood.

Accepting An Offer >Offers and Counter Offers
Many of the offers real agents submit for prospective buyers aren't exactly what the sellers want. The price may be lower than they are asking or there might be terms included in the offer that will require negotiation. What happens after the offer is submitted?
The seller's real estate agent will present the offer to the sellers, along with the buyer's qualifications. If the sellers accept the offer, then a purchase agreement is written and signed by both parties. If the sellers counter the offer, the next action is initiated by the buyers when they make a response, either accepting the counter offer or countering it with yet another figure. If you want to buy a particular house, your chances of succeeding are greater if your initial offer is as close to the asking price as possible. You could save money by engaging in lengthy negotiations, but you run the risk of losing the home if a more attractive offer comes in from another buyer.
