There are quite a few homes under $50k in Minnesota, believe it or not.

Yes, most of the list are fixer uppers, but I made sure to go through and pick out the ones that had the most potential or at least the ones that weren't listed as a "tear down" or "enter at your own risk."

Unfortunately, most of these are nowhere near Rochester, so I went through and found the most affordable houses in Rochester as well.

There's A Big Reason An 887-Square-Foot Duluth Home Listed For $814,600

Recently, a Duluth home went on the market for $814,600. What was interesting was that the 2 bedroom, 1 bath home was 887 square feet. That translates to $918 per square foot.

Realtor.com says the median listing home price in Minneapolis, Minnesota was $325K in October 2023. The median listing home price per square foot was $235.

According to the National Association of Realtors, in March 2022, the average price per square foot of a home was $244, while the median price per square foot was $202.

Based on those figures, it would be fair to wonder why this property was listed significantly higher. It turns out, there is one big reason why, which you'll see as you take a look through the property.
