Current Mortgage Rate Context

Market-level mortgage rate comparison for this area:

Current market rates for 30-year fixed mortgages in Saint Paul, MN 55101 are averaging 6.35%, reflecting a stable lending environment compared to the 6.66% average observed earlier in 2026.

Key Findings

  1. The primary market signal is the median sold price of $190,000, which represents the most reliable indicator of recent transaction value and sits slightly above the median listing price of $187,000, suggesting sellers are generally achieving prices near asking; representative recent sale values.

  2. Liquidity appears muted: elevated inventory relative to sales in the analyzed sample combined with a long median days on market of 244 suggests slower sales velocity and potential pricing friction that may prolong time-to-contract.

  3. Pricing and rent context: the median price per square foot is 211 while the median market rent is $1,695; with the price year-over-year trend reported as up and the rent year-over-year trend also up, this points to modest appreciation pressure alongside rising rental demand — rent and price momentum.

  4. Financing and rate environment: interest rate pressure is characterized as moderate, with current market mortgage rates averaging 6.35% compared to an earlier 6.66%, which may slightly ease buyer cost sensitivity but still exerts moderate pressure on affordability.

Current market rates for 30-year fixed mortgages in Saint Paul, MN 55101 are averaging 6.35%, reflecting a stable lending environment compared to the 6.66% average observed earlier in 2026.

Key Findings

  1. The primary market signal is the median sold price of 190,000, which represents the most reliable indicator of realized value and recent transaction activity in the neighborhood; given the market temperature is reported as neutral, this suggests a balanced market where the median sold price may reflect modest, realized appreciation rather than speculative asking-price inflation. neutral market temperature

  2. There is a meaningful gap in time-to-sale: the median days on market is 244, which signals slower sales velocity and pricing friction that may require extended marketing or price adjustments to reach buyers.

  3. Supply dynamics show elevated inventory relative to sales in the sampled dataset, while the median listing price is 187,000—this combination appears to create balanced to slightly favorable conditions for sellers where pricing realism will determine pace of transactions rather than acute seller leverage.

  4. Rents and pricing trends point to modest strength: the median market rent is 1,845 and the price year-over-year trend is reported as up, while rent year-over-year trend is also up; concurrent interest rate pressure is described as moderate and prevailing 30-year fixed rates are noted around 6.35% (versus a recent 6.66% reference), suggesting financing conditions are relatively stable even as upward pressure on rents and prices continues. up
