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

Year over year, Rice County home values have edged up, with the typical home value nearly flat but median list prices jumping by double digits. Compared with Minnesota overall, local prices sit slightly below the state median, hinting at a relatively accessible entry point for buyers.

August’s snapshot shows a median sale price around $359,000 and a median list price near $379,000, with sellers receiving about 99 percent of asking on average. Inventory stands at 257 active listings and just 2.2 months of supply, reinforcing its current status as a seller’s market.

Momentum has shifted somewhat beneath the surface, as homes sold climbed more than 20 percent from last year while new listings and pending sales both trended down. With a median of 29 days on market and about one in four homes selling above list, buyers and sellers in Rice County can use Agent Pronto to find an agent who understands these dynamics and can guide them effectively.

“Ryan provided such a wonderful real estate experience for us which all started at the early stages of planning prior to listing our White Bear Lake, MN home. During the early planning stages Ryan provided recommendations and offered guidance to market our home in this unique real estate market. After a few months of planning we listed our home with Ryan and it SOLD in just a couple days. During this time we still had not found our next home to purchase. Within a short period of time and with Ryan's large network we were notified of a new listing coming up. In a matter of a couple days we had signed and had a closing date on our NEW home that we plan to raise our family in. Ryan's truly responsible for making our experience so positive and stress free. Since closing we have recommended Ryan to friends and family. If you are looking for a top-notch real estate professional I would recommended looking no further and start your own experience with him.”

“Michele was incredible to work with again! This was our third time working with Michele in regards to buying/selling a home. As always, Michele was very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and punctual. She has helped us both with homes in the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo area and in MN lakes area. Michele has excellent communication skills, was proactive in sharing listings when buying home and in reaching out to potential buyers when selling a home. Michele also proactively communicated with us in all stages of the negiotiation process, offered helpful advice and advocated for us to get us a great deal. We would highly recommend asking Michele to be your realtor and have already recommended her to friends and family!”

“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.”

“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!”

“We highly recommend Rochelle Roesler to anyone looking for an experienced, trustworthy and very knowledgeable real estate agent. Her communication was amazing! 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.”
