THIS WEEK’S EPISODE

We spend a lot of time talking about Minneapolis and St. Paul. This week, we’re looking at everything outside those two cities.

Adam and Tim dig into the past 15 years of small multifamily sales across the seven-county Twin Cities metro, excluding Minneapolis and St. Paul. For this analysis, we’re calling everything else the suburbs.

We compare how different suburban markets have performed over time, look at where the market stands today, and talk through some of the unexpected findings in the data.

We cover:

How small multifamily properties have performed across different suburban markets.

What current market conditions tell us about buying and selling today.

Which findings surprised us and challenged our assumptions.

How we’re using this information to shape our own investing decisions and help clients evaluate their next purchase.

If you’re looking at a suburban investment property—or wondering whether you should expand your search beyond Minneapolis and St. Paul—this episode gives you more context for deciding where to look and how to evaluate what you find.
