No matter where you look, historic homes often have a significant presence in most major cites, and St. Paul, MN is certainly no different. And because of when many of these homes were first built, you might often find that most also lie closer to downtown, which is exactly where a lot of today’s home buyers want to be.
For home owners already living in a historic home in St. Paul who might be thinking about a move, the trend of more people wanting to live in more of an urban location couldn’t be more perfect. On the other hand, for home buyers who appreciate older homes with a unique history and distinct charm and character, be prepared to break open wallet and pay a premium.
Even with downtown historic homes being in high demand right now, the current inventory is still presenting potential buyers with some insanely attractive options, especially when it comes to homes over $1 million. Some of St. Paul’s most beautiful mansions are currently being listed and regardless of whether your budget is $200,000 or $2 million, many of these homes are still fun to look at either way.
