What Richfield homeowners should know
Richfield is a compact, fully built-out first-ring suburb sandwiched between Minneapolis, MSP International Airport, Bloomington and Edina. Farmland here sold to developers building homes for returning veterans after World War II, and most of the city’s roughly 10,000 single-family homes date from that 1950s boom, with about 5,000 more apartment units added in the 1960s and early 1970s. That means Richfield’s housing stock is almost entirely 70-plus years old, mostly small ramblers and story-and-a-halfs on modest lots, and the city runs a Richfield Rediscovered program encouraging remodeling and additions to bring these homes up to modern standards. Best Buy’s headquarters relocated here in 2003, and redevelopment has continued near the I-494 corridor and Cedar Avenue, but the residential core has changed little. Owners of these older homes often face aging roofs, furnaces and wiring, and Minnesota’s winters add ice dam and freeze-thaw wear on top of that.

Why Richfield owners sell as-is
Nearly all housing is 70-plus years old
The great majority of Richfield’s roughly 10,000 single-family homes were built during the postwar boom of the 1950s, when farmland converted quickly into subdivisions for returning veterans. Roofs, furnaces, water heaters and electrical panels installed decades ago are commonly at or past the end of their useful life.
Small lots and dated layouts
Richfield’s ramblers and story-and-a-halfs were built on modest lots for a different era of family life, and many haven’t been substantially updated. The city’s own Richfield Rediscovered program exists specifically to encourage remodeling and additions, which tells you how common outdated kitchens, baths and mechanical systems still are here.
Ice dams and winter wear
Older, less-insulated roofs in Richfield are prone to ice dams during Minnesota winters, which can push water back under shingles and into attics. Combined with age, this is one of the more common repair issues that comes up on a traditional inspection here.

Selling a house for cash in Richfield
Why is almost every house in Richfield the same age?
Richfield grew almost entirely in one wave. Farmland sold to developers after World War II, and most of the city’s roughly 10,000 single-family homes were built during the 1950s to house returning veterans and their families. That’s why the housing stock is unusually consistent in age compared to suburbs that grew over several decades.
Do I have to fix up my Richfield home before selling since so many are outdated?
No. An as-is cash sale doesn’t require repairs, updated kitchens or baths, or a passing inspection. Richfield’s Rediscovered program encourages owners to remodel, but that’s optional, and selling as-is is a straightforward alternative to financing a renovation yourself.
How long do I have after a sheriff’s sale on my Richfield home?
Most Minnesota foreclosures are by advertisement and end in a sheriff’s sale, typically followed by a six-month redemption period during which you can still reclaim the property by paying what’s owed. Selling before the sale date, or during that window, lets you control the outcome instead of losing your equity at auction.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Richfield?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
