Homes For Sale In Rochester MN

I personally live in Rochester MN and have worked here since 2014. Rochester MN is home of the renowned health care organization the Mayo Clinic. Both my mother and sister currently work for the Mayo Clinic as well. In fact, if you are to ask someone in town if they work at mayo it can sometimes seem that about 50% of the time the answer will be yes.

Rochester now has a wonderful app for experiencing Rochester that is inclusive of events, restaurants, entertainment, and out door activities. This is a must for anyone looking to get familiar with the city. Many of us locals use it to stay current as well.

We have many elementary, middle, and high schools to choose from for families looking to move or grow in the Rochester MN area. We also have many trails and paths available to walk, run, and bike. You won’t be surprised to see me out on the trails with Ayla taking me for a walk or run many mornings.

Rochester MN is the third largest city in Minnesota located a little over an hours drive South of the state capitol St. Paul. As of 2018, the Rochester metropolitan area had a population estimated at 219,802.

Whether it is enjoying the outdoors at Quarry Hill Nature Center or participating in an event or show at the Mayo Clinic Civic Center it’s no surprise that in 2017 Livability.com rated Rochester No. 1 on its Top 100 Best Places to live.

For people moving to the Rochester MN area from other larger cities across the country my favorite thing to share is that it feels like everything in town is only 15 minutes away. You’ll be happy to hear that the average commute time is around 16 minutes which is much lower than the national average of 26 minutes according to bestplaces.net.

The median home sale price is $239,900. For the last several years we’ve had less than a months’ inventory for sale under the price point of $200,000 which has been an extremely competitive budget for many of our first-time home buyers. With the booming local economy and a promising future ahead it has been and continues to be a competitive city for new homeowners to buy.

Not all it lost though, as I’ve worked with hundreds of local home shoppers over the years I have developed a way to keep my clients informed on market trends, methods on getting into new listings quickly, and ways to make their offers stand out from the competition. If you are looking to move to Rochester MN then I’m the guy who will work to make this as easy a transition as possible for your lifestyle.
