So when is the best time to sell a home in Minnesota anyway? Most people would automatically think summer when asked this question, the reason is because it’s darn cold here in the winter. Or, is this really true? Lets take a look.

In January 2020 homes in the Minneapolis area sold in 49 days on average for 98.8% of the asking price which averaged $331,000.
