Minneapolis home prices, measured as the typical value per square meter (data: Redfin). This is the value of the property itself — bricks and mortar — not an investor's total return.
It excludes rent received and all costs (closing, property taxes, maintenance, vacancy). Compare it against U.S. inflation (CPI) and the S&P 500 below to see whether Minneapolis real estate kept up.
Minneapolis anchors the Twin Cities and generally sits in the mid tier, supported by a diversified economy of corporate headquarters, healthcare, finance and manufacturing. Its per-square-meter value tends to run above much of the surrounding Midwest but below the expensive coasts. The metro saw prices fall during the 2008 housing crash and then recover steadily through the 2010s, with the relatively stable, broad-based demand that characterizes a region not driven by a single boom industry.
