Minneapolis local · Calls within the hour
Need to sell your house fast in Minneapolis? We buy houses as is. The steps are clear, and you can check our offer line by line.
Fill out the short form or call Ryan. No long questionnaire, no pressure.
Takes 2 minutesOn weekdays, Ryan calls back within the hour. He walks the house the next day, and Jordan prices the repairs so the number is real.
Walkthrough: 30 to 60 minutesWithin 2 to 3 days of the walkthrough you get our cash offer and the math behind it. Ryan sets it next to what listing, a creative deal or a refinance would net. You pick.
Close in 7 to 14 daysCash, listing, creative financing or keeping your home. Ryan goes over all four with you and tells you which one wins.
Best when: speed or a complicated situation matters most.
Best when: you have 30 to 60 days and the house is in decent shape.
Best when: you have a low rate and little equity, or want monthly income instead of a lump sum.
Best when: a workable payment or repair plan would let you stay.
Path 2 usually nets more if you have 30 to 60 days. We'll tell you if that's you.
Get My Fair Cash OfferWhen you should NOT sell to usMinnesota fact: in most foreclosures you can still sell during the six month redemption period after the sheriff's sale (Minn. Stat. 580.23).
Here is one local thing to check before you sell. You do not have to sort it all out alone. Ryan can walk you through your choices.
Minneapolis has a home report called TISH. Ask which rules apply to your home. We can help you sort the repair list and compare selling as is with listing the house.
We own homes in Minneapolis, and we would start with yours: the block, the layout, the work already done and the work still needed. A busy permit map nearby is a reason to look into those projects, not a reason to raise your price or cut it.
Minneapolis requires a Truth in Sale of Housing report before showings for covered properties, including single-family houses, duplexes and townhouses. First-time condo conversions are included; ordinary condo resales are not listed in that group.
Minneapolis: TISH coverage and reports
Sources checked . Ask the linked office about current rules and help programs.
Start with the TISH report and sort the items the city requires from the ones a buyer would simply like. A dated kitchen that still works shouldn’t be priced as a full replacement.
Fix it or sell it as is?If you inherited the house, find the city report and permit history before anyone clears out the paperwork. Receipts and final inspections can answer questions the family can’t.
Help with an inherited houseTell us the address and how to reach you. Ryan will help you compare your choices and explain our offer. If listing or keeping the house makes more sense, we’ll say so.
No pressure. No obligation to sell.
Want to look into it yourself? The tools below are here if you need them.
You can read everything below, or choose a starting point. No email or phone number needed.
You do not have to decide today. Compare what you would keep, the work each path asks of you and whether staying would serve you better.
Compare the four pathsThis is general advice for Minneapolis. Look up your home below to get a checklist for your address.
The checklist is prep advice. It is not a property valuation, a legal deadline or confirmation that a rule applies to your home. Public records can be incomplete, so check them against your own papers and the office that issued them.
Want your address on the plan? Look up your home in the Check your own home section first. Then come back here and tick the box to add it to the download.
Your choices stay in this tab. The download is an HTML document you can open and print or save as PDF. Your address is only included if you look it up and tick the box above.
Find building facts, recorded transfers, tax details and a parcel outline. Minneapolis addresses can show permit and zoning records too. Confirm the address and unit before opening a report.
Start typing and pick your address from the list, and we will fill in the county. You can also type the whole address yourself. Make sure the record the county finds is your property and unit. Covers all seven Twin Cities metro counties.
Records can be incomplete or delayed. If nothing comes up, that does not prove a property, permit or improvement does not exist.
Look through residential building permits issued Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026. These records help you prepare questions about your own project and paperwork. Choosing a neighborhood updates this panel and your printable plan. The housing stock, new development and budget sections elsewhere on this page remain Minneapolis-wide or use your own entries.
Minneapolis has 8,550 matching permits in this period: 2,656 for remodels, 434 for additions and 65 for new construction. We would use the remodel records to find nearby projects worth checking, then compare the actual work with your home. A permit does not tell us whether the kitchen was updated, what the finish quality is or what a buyer will pay. Most records fall under “Other building work,” which is too broad to call a major renovation trend.
Darker areas have more permits. Counts are not adjusted for neighborhood size.

One home can have several permits. An issued permit does not prove the work is finished, and permit activity does not establish a home's condition or resale value. Only residential building permits for single family, two family and townhouse occupancies with an Issued or Closed status are included. Plumbing and mechanical permits are excluded here; the property lookup checks all available permit types.

Browse Minneapolis housing development records from 2021 to 2025. Use the locations to check what is nearby, then compare the kind of home you own. The map shows houses, townhomes and 2 to 4 unit buildings; permits do not confirm that a home is completed or for sale.
Coverage for Minneapolis: A separate recent building permit view is available below. This map misses most everyday repairs. It also leaves out larger buildings, because the source does not say which of their units are condos.
83 of 83 new housing records have map coordinates. Points can overlap; open a record to see how many homes it represents. These are permit locations, not active listings or completed homes.
The full table further down shows 467 new homes in 2025. The other 350 are apartment units in buildings with 5 or more homes and accessory units. We leave those off the map because buyers shopping for a house don’t usually weigh them against yours.
57 detached houses. Homes in this view: 18% above 2024 (99).
This view includes townhomes and 2 to 4 unit homes along with detached houses. Choose your property type in the explorer, then ask for recent sales with a similar size, location and condition. That gives us a better place to start the conversation about your price. Permits show what is being built. They do not measure how many buyers are out there or predict your sale price.
Search Minneapolis records by year, housing type and work. The default view covers houses, townhomes and 2 to 4 unit buildings.

18,353 records have usable map coordinates in the two year extract. Missing coordinates do not remove records from counts. An issued permit does not show that the work was finished, what it cost or what it added to the price. Reissued permits can appear in more than one month. Compare the same months from year to year, since weather and reporting changes affect the counts.

A separate recent building permit view is available below. Met Council surveys communities annually and can revise older records. The latest year present in the service is 2025. Its catalog description still says 2024; treat the newer records as numbers that could still change, not a final release.
New homes use source code NU; removals use RM. Major remodels use RE, defined by the source as over $1 million, so ordinary remodeling is excluded. Conversions and moved homes are still in the explorer and CSV; this table is not a net count of homes added and removed. A record can stand for more than one home. City totals match the source's city name. County totals use its county code, so only the part of a city inside the seven county metro is counted.

If your idea of what the house is worth is based on a sale from a few years ago, ask for recent sales of similar homes. A county average can't tell you how your home's condition, street or improvements changed its value. If the rise slowed down, prices still went up. A slower rise does not mean prices fell.
FHFA source updated Mar 31, 2026; retrieved Oct 4, 2026. This is FHFA's developmental all-transactions series. It is not adjusted for season or inflation. It uses repeat transactions, including sales and refinance appraisals for qualifying Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac mortgages; it leaves out some property types and some kinds of loans. Values can be revised. We do not fill missing years with nearby data, and we do not multiply this index by your home's value to guess a price.

Before you put money into the house, or take money off the price, here is how we would use the local records. You do not need to study every chart to get something useful out of them.
The local fact: 86% of 101,449 residential records with a construction year were built before 1980. The median construction year is 1926.
A dated kitchen and a failing roof are two different conversations. Before you accept a big repair deduction, ask what actually needs fixing, what is just cosmetic, and what each item costs. Jordan prices our repairs line by line; ask us to show you.
Sort repairs from sale preparationThe local fact: 117 houses, townhomes and units in 2 to 4 unit buildings permitted in 2025; 99 in 2024. These are homes in permit records, not confirmed completions or homes for sale.
Of these, 57 were detached houses. If that is what you own, we would start there and ask for recent sales of similar houses. Townhomes and duplexes belong in their own comparisons. Ask us, or any buyer, to show how the comparable homes match yours.
See the locations and housing typesYou do not need to know the interest portion of your mortgage. Start with the payment you make, your utilities and any bills you pay separately.
The budget below shows the cash you would need for a longer sale. Some of your mortgage payment pays down the loan; it is not all money lost. We would compare the eventual loan payoff and selling costs before saying a faster offer leaves you better off.
Plan with the bills you already knowOwn a condo? We would start with comparable units, HOA costs and assessments. This permit data does not show which homes are condos. These are our interpretations, not an appraisal or an inspection of your home. Check the source dates and limits. If the best answer is to keep your home, we want that on the table too.

Directory checked Oct 4, 2026. HUD does not say when each listing was last updated. Verify services or search all HUD-listed agencies · Minnesota Homeownership Center.
See Minnesota Housing repair programs · Check official property tax refund information. Program rules and funding decide who qualifies; a nearby office or an older home alone does not qualify you.
We check these public sources monthly and publish updates automatically when they pass our coverage and consistency checks. Yearly charts only add a new year when the agency releases it. The date we pulled the data does not make an older source any newer. If a source fails our checks, the last verified snapshot stays up. Housing and tax figures are calculated from MetroGIS's county parcel exports dated Jul 13, 2026, retrieved Oct 4, 2026. These are property record snapshots, not a live listing feed, appraisal, cash offer, or complete sales history. The tax field is reported as supplied; tax year is not supplied by this source.
We count each county parcel ID once, exclude vacant land and selected non-residential classifications, and calculate each measure only from valid values. Median tax uses 101,357 positive recorded amounts. Year built figures use 101,449 valid years from 1800 through 2026. We do not show medians or percentages when there are fewer than 10 records. County classification and reporting practices differ, so compare across counties with care.
For your decision: confirm your own tax bill, compare similar homes, review improvement records, and ask the city which inspections or approvals apply. A permit record or zoning label alone does not prove legal use, finished work or development rights.

A lot of "we buy houses" postcards come from wholesalers. They put your house under contract, then sell that contract to someone else for a fee, and they don't always tell you. They can't show you the math without showing you their fee.
On a cash sale we either buy the house ourselves or assign the purchase contract to another buyer. Our plans may change before closing. Any assignment follows your agreement and does not, by itself, change your agreed purchase price. Our offer is the After Repair Value (ARV) minus Jordan's repair estimate, holding costs and our margin. Jordan's number is real. He knows what the work costs.
Yes, the offer is below market value. Read the full worked example or run the free estimator.
Each one comes with a Minnesota law, a county rule or a winter problem to work around, whether the house is in South Minneapolis or Maple Grove. Every path has a downside. We'll tell you plainly.
Behind on payments or facing a sheriff's sale? There's more than one way out, and one might let you keep the house.
Downside: Depends on the path you pick
See how it works
Heirs and executors, often out of state. We work with Hennepin and Ramsey probate, and you can close remotely.
Downside: Depends on the path you pick
See how it works
Medicaid liens, judgment liens, tax liens or probate title problems. The liens get paid out of the sale money at closing. We sort out the title work.
Downside: Depends on the path you pick
See how it works
Foundation, roof, water or fire damage, houses packed with belongings, code violations, mold, failed septic. We buy houses like these, and you fix nothing.
Downside: Below market value on a cash sale
See how it works
Tenants who stopped paying, squatters, empty units, repairs that piled up, owners who live out of state. We buy with tenants in place; no eviction needed.
Downside: Below market value on a cash sale
See how it worksMost cash home buyers only want clean, easy deals. When title issues, liens or probate come up, they disappear. We buy the bungalows in South Minneapolis, ramblers in Richfield and split levels in Bloomington that they won't touch.

Four questions to ask before you sign any purchase agreement.
"Can you show proof of funds in your company's name before I sign?"
Our answer: yes, when we're buying the house ourselves. We show you proof before you sign.
"Could you assign my contract to another buyer?"
Our answer: yes. We may buy your house ourselves or assign the contract to another buyer. Our plans may change before closing, and any assignment must follow your agreement. Assignment alone does not change your agreed purchase price.
"Are you licensed, and will you put that in writing?"
Our answer: Ryan Quade holds Minnesota real estate license #40924708 with Coldwell Banker Realty. When we buy your home directly, we buy for ourselves to earn a profit. Ryan is not your agent and does not represent you in that sale. We put his license status and role as a buyer in writing.
"Will someone local meet me at the house?"
Our answer: yes. Ryan comes to the house himself, anywhere in Minneapolis and surrounding areas. Not a call center, not a franchise.
Ask Ryan. He'll tell you if listing, a creative deal or a refinance puts more in your pocket than our cash offer.
All three of us have bought and sold houses, and we all own rentals. We started on our own; now we do it together. You get straight answers on every option, even when the best one isn't selling to us.
Selling a house in Minneapolis, St. Paul or anywhere in Hennepin County comes with rules a buyer from out of state won't know. That matters most when there's a deadline, an estate or a lien involved. Then there's winter: January and February are the slowest months for Minnesota home sales, but our cash offers don't change with the season. Here are four rules we deal with all the time.
After the sheriff's sale, most Minnesota foreclosures give you a redemption period, usually six months under Minn. Stat. 580.23. You can still sell the house during that window.
Most estates use informal probate. Once the court appoints the personal representative, you can usually sell the house before the estate closes.
Minneapolis and St. Paul make most sellers get a city inspection report first. The buyer can often take on any repairs it calls for.
Minnesota deed tax is about 0.33% of the price (2026 rates). Leave property taxes unpaid in Hennepin County and you can lose the house to forfeiture in roughly four years.
Most cash buyers hand you a price for your Powderhorn duplex, North Minneapolis fourplex or Eden Prairie rambler and stop there. We also walk you through what listing on NorthstarMLS, a creative deal or a refinance could do for you.
Ryan Quade is a licensed Minnesota salesperson (#40924708) with Coldwell Banker Realty. He and his brothers have each bought and sold houses and own rentals, first on their own and now together. Between them they can buy your house, list it, take over your payments, set up a contract for deed or point you to a refinance.
Ryan walks you through all four paths, with numbers, before any offer is signed. When we buy directly, he tells you in writing that he's licensed and buying for us to earn a profit, not representing you as your agent. We may buy directly or assign the contract to another buyer, as allowed by your agreement. Our plans may change before closing.
We even publish the cases where you shouldn't sell to us. Want to check us out? The Wholesaler Test works on any cash home buyer, us included. Read our guide on when not to sell to us.
We buy in Minneapolis and surrounding areas, across Hennepin, Carver, Ramsey, Anoka, Dakota, Washington and Scott counties. Ryan comes to the house.
We can close a cash sale in 7 to 14 days, or on the date you choose. You get the cash offer within 2 to 3 days of the walkthrough.
No. On a cash sale you pay no commissions and no closing costs. If you list with Ryan instead, you pay a commission, and he puts that number in writing first.
No. We buy houses as is. Jordan prices the repairs and they come out of the offer, so you don't fix or clean anything.
We take what the house would sell for fixed up, then subtract Jordan's repair estimate, holding costs and our margin. We show you every line, and the guide on how we calculate your offer has a worked example.
Sometimes. On a cash sale we either buy the house ourselves or assign the purchase contract to another buyer. Our plans may change before closing, and any assignment must follow your agreement. Assignment alone does not change your agreed purchase price. Ryan's license is public, and you can run the Wholesaler Test on us.
Often, yes, if you have 30 to 60 days and the house is in decent shape. Listing with Ryan usually nets more; he'll show you both numbers side by side.
Ask Ryan directly. He's the licensed agent who'll walk the house and write the offer.
