Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).

Year-over-year, Rice County’s housing market shows mixed price signals, with typical home value down slightly even as the median list price has risen. Compared with Minnesota overall, local prices sit below the state’s median sale price, suggesting buyers may find relatively more affordability here than statewide.

Looking at the latest month, June 2026 brought more activity, with homes sold up strongly from the prior month while active listings also increased. Even with that added inventory, months of supply held at about 2 months, reinforcing Rice County’s position as a seller’s market where desirable homes can still draw solid interest.

Conditions on the ground reflect brisk movement, as half of listings went off the market within two weeks even though the median days on market sits in the mid-20s. With roughly one in four homes selling above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent, sellers who price correctly are still seeing strong offers while buyers face limited room for negotiation. In this kind of fast-moving but nuanced environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands current trends in Rice County.

“Working with John mad my first time buying a house super easy and comfortable. I trusted John's word and felt confident that he would NOT lead us wrong when looking at houses. He wasn't afraid to tell us the truth if it meant finding out perfect home. I don't think working with another realtor that this would've gone so smoothly. John's working with us will forever be part of my first homeowner experience. And if I were to be selling/buying again I would 100% be working with him again.”

“Michele has been amazing to work with. She responds to questions very quickly, even late at night. Many times, she would watch my child for short periods of time so I could fully focus on the houses. She was also very punctual with any appointments and showings. Being a first time home buyer, it was really good to have someone that could "hold my hand" and help ease any anxieties. She helped us get our home which I hope we will love for many years. When we do decide to upgrade, we will be reaching out to Michele again. She's a wonderful person to work with.”

“I was in immediate need of housing. Stephanie was recommended by a friend who had just worked with her on a home purchase. Stephanie met with me to detail my housing requirements. She found a home that exceeded my needs and met a couple of my dreams in just a couple of days. From our initial meeting to closing was less than three weeks. There is only one word to describe Stephanie; PHENOMATASTIC!”

“Caitlin was great both times we worked with her; she was always on top of her game no matter what! She always replied fast to questions or comments, not that there were many of those, given how hands-on she was in explaining everything. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process and had an answer for every question I sent her way. Not to mention how smooth she made the closing process, I thought that was going to be the biggest stressor, but she made it simpler than I thought possible for closing a house! I already absolutely recommend her to everyone I know and have no plans on changing that anytime soon!”

She was super responsive by promptly answering all of our calls and emails. We always felt like we were top priority on her list. From our first meeting to the closing process, Rochelle was by our side. This level of dedication and sincerity is rare in the real estate industry. Rochelle's genuine care and dedication made our journey so much easier and enjoyable. In the end, we found the perfect buyers for our beautiful home. Thanks Rochelle!!”

“Susan helped me sell my dad's house after he unexpectedly passed away in 2025. She was so kind and empathetic about my situation, and very patient as it took us months to empty the house before it was listed. But from the start she worked hard to get us the right resources and information. She was incredibly helpful during the selling process and gave great suggestions on price. She made the process pretty easy!”

“I purchased my first home with the help of Heather Warner. From a quick google search of realators specializing in first time homebuyers I found the Barker Hedges team which led me to Heather. Leaning heavily on her experience I had unwavering faith in her to provide valuable consultation in all aspects of the house buying process. Strongly reccomend Heather to any homebuyers. She simplified the process for me tremedously and will was extremely honest in the house touring process. She will be a strong voice for you communicating at a very high level.”

“I had an exceptional experience working with my real estate agent in selling my house in Plymouth, Minnesota. He provided invaluable advice on repairs, staging, and pricing, ensuring that every aspect of the sale was optimized. He even took the time to show me comparable properties, helping me determine the best listing price. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I’m taking the time to leave reviews on multiple websites. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.”
