Sold: Recent Home Sales in the Mendota Heights Area

Be prepared to price your home to sell.

While investors seek out fixer-uppers, home buyers looking for traditional homes are cautious about buying in the current market. Many listings do not bring full price, but for homes in the higher end of the market–those above $300,000, the selling price is often not too much lower than the asking price.

The secret is to price your home correctly when selling and be open to lower the price when a home fails to attract serious buyers within a month. Staging a home for sale is also important in any price category except for distressed properties, which are uncommon in the Mendota Heights area housing market.
