Local conditions to plan for
The things realtor pros watch for around St. Louis Park.
Historic Housing Stock Issues
Minneapolis and the inner-ring suburbs have thousands of homes built before 1940. Homes that old often hold lead paint, asbestos, knob-and-tube wiring, and some foundation settling.
What to look for:
- Make sure they test for lead paint and asbestos before demo.
- Knob-and-tube wiring should be replaced up to current code.
- Ask which updates need special permits and inspections.
Premium Market Expectations
Home values in Edina, Wayzata, and Minneapolis run high, and owners expect top work. On a property like that, clear proposals and a clean site are part of the job.
What to look for:
- Get a detailed written proposal up front.
- A job site left messy at the end of the day is a bad sign.
- Ask what the warranty covers and for how long.
