Quick answers

Buying a historic home

How many historic homes are for sale in the Twin Cities?

1,580 homes built before 1940 are for sale in our Minnesota communities as of November 10, 2026, from $60,000 to $16,595,000, with a median list price of $329,900. 257 of them were built before 1900.

Does a home in a historic district have extra rules?

Often, yes. In a locally designated historic district or for a designated landmark, the city’s heritage preservation commission usually has to approve exterior changes such as windows, siding, porches and additions. Minneapolis and Saint Paul both have heritage preservation commissions. Ask the city about the specific address before you buy if you plan exterior work.

What should I check when buying an older home?

The foundation and drainage, the roof, the electrical system (knob-and-tube wiring can affect insurance), plumbing and the sewer line (a sewer scope is worth it), the heating system, and lead paint and asbestos in original materials. Some Twin Cities cities also require a point-of-sale inspection before a home is sold; we can tell you what applies.

Can I get a loan on a historic home?

Yes, the same loans as any home. A home that needs major work can be harder to finance as-is; a renovation loan can roll repair costs into the mortgage. Talk with a lender early if the home needs more than cosmetic work.
