Apple Valley, MN Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Apple Valley, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Apple Valley sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 359
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $377,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $183
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $275,000 and $460,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 359 closed sales in Apple Valley over the last six months, with a median closing price of $377,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $275,000 and $460,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 358 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $165 and $212 per square foot.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 17 days, across 291 Apple Valley closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 26 days, across 305 Apple Valley closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 359 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Apple Valley angle

Nothing about the spread in Apple Valley, Minnesota is unusual: the distance from $275,000 to $460,000 sits about where the markets we track generally sit. The informative detail is the shape inside the band, where the lower half runs wider than the upper half. That means recorded sales are packed more densely above $377,000 than below it. A comp set built without a floor will therefore draw disproportionately from the denser upper region, and the estimate it produces for a modest property will read high. The failure is quiet, because the comps look numerous and reasonable. 359 closings give a solid sample, enough to fix that by restricting the search. Match type and living area first, then bound the comp region to the part of the band your subject actually occupies, and read the median of that subset. $377,000 remains useful as a reference for how far your subject's tier sits from the city's middle, which is a different job from being the estimate.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 11,465+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
