St. Cloud market data reflects closed sales reported through spring 2026 across the city. Figures are a point-in-time snapshot and change month to month. For current MLS numbers on a specific street or price range, reach out to Bill.

St. Cloud is central Minnesota's largest city and the region's cultural and economic hub. Set along the Mississippi River about an hour northwest of the Twin Cities, it blends the amenities of a metro with the pace and price point of a smaller Minnesota community.

St. Cloud spans several elementary attendance areas, so two homes on the same street can feed different schools. School attendance boundaries can change and are not guaranteed. Always confirm the assigned school for a specific address with the district before writing an offer. Bill is happy to pull the boundary map for any home you are considering.
