How much does it cost to sell a house in Minneapolis?

Answered byChris DeutschLicensed MN Realtor (MN #20382264)
Direct Summary (TL;DR)

At a 5% commission, plan on about 5.7% of the sale price all-in. On a 425,000 dollar home — the current Twin Cities median — that is roughly 24,300 dollars: 21,250 commission, 1,445 in Minnesota deed tax (0.34% in Hennepin County), and about 1,600 in title, settlement, and recording fees. Change the commission and the total moves with it.
