Workable 83/100

Minneapolis is a mid-tier wholesale market right now — disciplined operators can build a book; tourists will get squeezed.

TL;DR — data signals
  • 41.6% of sales below list — sellers still firm
  • Median DOM 19 days — speed market, off-market only
  • Sale-to-list 0.999 — balanced
  • Buyer mix: mixed flippers + landlords

Wholesaling in Minneapolis starts with one question: how often are sellers leaving money on the table? In this market, it's a mixed bag. 41.6% of closings land below list — enough room to negotiate on the right deal, but no broad discount across the board. Selective sourcing wins.

The lists that should produce here, based on the current data:

- Pre-foreclosure — when the on-market signals are thin, NOD/lis-pendens lists become the dominant wholesaling channel

Disposition matters as much as sourcing. Minneapolis buyers right now lean mixed — neither rents nor appreciation dominate. Maintain a buyers list with both flippers and landlords; segment your dispositions accordingly.

Net: spread is narrow here. The arithmetic that needs to clear is the same everywhere — purchase + assignment fee + buyer's rehab + buyer's profit ≤ 70-75% of ARV — but the room to find that spread depends on whether sellers will negotiate. The data above says they sometimes will in Minneapolis.
