🏡 Grateful to Call Minnesota Home:

There’s a quiet kind of strength that defines Minnesota—and this month’s housing numbers only reinforce it. As the seasons shift and many of us pause to gather (or just breathe), there’s real value in taking stock of what’s steady, what’s growing, and what still feels like home.

In the October 2025 reports, both nationally and locally, we saw modest gains in sales and price—an encouraging sign in a market that’s been anything but predictable. Here in Minnesota, the median sales price rose to $389,900, with closed sales holding steady at just over 4,100. Inventory dipped slightly, but buyer activity remains meaningful, with serious home seekers still stepping up for the right properties.

What sets Minnesota apart isn’t just the numbers—it’s how the market and the people move in tandem. In a time when other regions may be stalling or retreating, we continue to show up. Whether it’s a neighbor helping a neighbor, or a community standing in quiet defiance of fear and uncertainty, resilience is part of what makes this market work.

And that resilience extends beyond real estate. Amid rising concerns around local ICE activity and moments that challenge our sense of peace, one thing remains clear: we take care of each other here. That’s not a headline—it’s a habit.

So if you're thinking about making a move, investing in a second space, or simply finding your place in all of this, know that you're not just buying into a market. You're joining a network of streets, schools, stories, and strength.

Because in Minnesota, home isn’t just a place—it’s a community that keeps showing up.

FAQ: Minnesota vs. the National Market

Thinking about moving here? Here's what you should know.

Q: Are home prices in Minnesota more affordable than the national average?

A: Yes. As of October 2025, the median home price in Minnesota is $389,900, compared to the national median of $415,200. That means you get more value here—without compromising on lifestyle, location, or long-term growth.

Q: How competitive is the Minnesota market?

A: It’s active but not aggressive. With homes averaging 48 days on market, buyers have space to breathe, but well-priced listings still move. It’s a strong, stable market—ideal for both first-time buyers and those relocating with intention.

Q: Is Minnesota a good long-term investment?

A: Absolutely. Home values here are steadily appreciating—up 2.1% year-over-year—and unlike markets driven purely by speculation, Minnesota’s growth is grounded in livability, strong schools, and real community roots.

Q: How’s the inventory compared to other areas?

A: Like much of the country, inventory is tight. Minnesota’s available homes dipped slightly last month, but we still outperform many high-demand markets in terms of options, price points, and quality. Strategic buyers (and sellers) are well-positioned here.

Q: What makes Minnesota’s real estate market unique?

A: Beyond the numbers? It’s the people. This is a place where community matters, neighborhoods are invested in each other, and real estate is treated like what it is: home. You’re not just buying a property—you’re joining something built to last.
