Woodbury, MN Housing Market Report — 2025 Annual Review
A plain-English look at Woodbury's home prices, sales volume, and market conditions for the full 2025 calendar year, sourced from official Twin Cities MLS data.
Woodbury's housing market cooled slightly in 2025: the median sale price dipped about 3% to $456,000 after four straight years of gains, even as the number of homes sold ticked up 1.5% from 2024. Sellers are still receiving close to full asking price on average, and new construction and townhouse/condo sales continue to make up a meaningful share of the market. Unlike a typical quarterly market update, every number below is built entirely from official, MLS-sourced figures — not an estimate.
Key Takeaways
- Woodbury's median sale price dipped to $456,000 in 2025, down about 3% from 2024's $470,000 — the first annual pullback after several years of steady gains, though still well above 2021's $410,000.
- Sales volume held up despite the price dip: 1,187 homes closed in Woodbury in 2025, up about 1.5% from 2024.
- Sellers are still getting close to full price — homes sold for 100.1% of original list price on average, meaning many sellers received at or slightly above their asking price.
- New construction made up about 15% of all 2025 closings, and townhouse/condo sales made up roughly 41% — Woodbury's housing stock is genuinely mixed, not just single-family homes.
- This reflects full-year 2025 data from the official regional MLS-sourced annual report; quarter-by-quarter 2026 figures require a live MLS pull that only a licensed agent can run.

How to Read This Report
This is different from a typical quarterly market snapshot. Instead of an estimate or a citywide aggregator's automated valuation, it's built entirely from the 2025 Annual Housing Market Report published by Minneapolis Area REALTORS® — sourced directly from actual closed transactions in NorthstarMLS, the Twin Cities' official multiple listing service.
Real data, published once a year
This is the most reliable public source available for Woodbury-specific numbers outside of a live MLS pull — but it only updates annually, in early January, covering the full prior calendar year. For a current, in-progress read on today's market, a licensed agent's live MLS access is still the most accurate source.
What the 2025 Numbers Actually Show
After four consecutive years of gains, Woodbury's median sale price pulled back in 2025 — from $470,000 in 2024 to $456,000, a decline of about 3%. It's a real shift worth understanding, not a rounding error, but it's also not a collapse: 2025's median is still well above 2021's $410,000, and sales activity actually picked up. Woodbury closed 1,187 home sales in 2025, up roughly 1.5% from the year before.
Dave's Local Insight
A lower median price doesn't automatically mean homes are worth less — it can also mean the mix of what sold has shifted. Woodbury had a meaningful share of townhouse and condo sales in 2025 (about 41% of closings) and new construction (about 15%), and those categories typically sell at different price points than resale single-family homes. A citywide median blends all of that together.
The clearest sign the market hasn't actually softened for sellers: homes sold for 100.1% of their original list price on average in 2025. That means, on the whole, sellers are still getting at or slightly above their asking price — a strong signal for anyone pricing a home accurately from the start.
What This Means for Sellers
A dip in the citywide median is not a reason to underprice your home, and it's not a reason to overprice it either. The 100.1% average list-price-received figure tells you buyers are still willing to pay full price for homes that are priced right for their condition and location. See our full pricing strategy guide for how to think through your specific number using true comparable sales, not a citywide average.
What This Means for Buyers
Rising sales volume alongside a softer median price is generally good news for buyers — it suggests more options across a wider range of price points, including the new construction and townhouse/condo inventory that made up a larger share of 2025's sales. Well-priced homes in good condition are still attracting serious offers, so being pre-approved and ready to move remains important.
Common Questions About This Report
Did Woodbury home prices actually go down in 2025? Yes — the median sale price dropped from $470,000 in 2024 to $456,000 in 2025, about a 3% year-over-year decline, according to official NorthstarMLS-sourced data. It's the first annual pullback after several years of steady increases, though prices remain well above 2021's $410,000 median.
Does a lower median price mean it's a bad time to sell? Not necessarily. Sellers in 2025 still received 100.1% of their original list price on average, meaning well-priced homes are still selling at or above asking. A lower citywide median often reflects a shift in what's selling — more moderately priced homes, more townhouse/condo sales — rather than every individual home losing value.
Why isn't there a quarterly breakdown for 2026 yet? The only publicly published, citywide data available for Woodbury is this annual report. Quarter-by-quarter figures for the current year require a live pull from NorthstarMLS's member-only tools, which only a licensed agent can access — reach out to Dave directly for the most current read on today's market.
Dave's Local Insight
Because this reflects official, publicly available MLS data, it only updates once a year, in early January, for the full prior calendar year — there's no quarterly or monthly breakdown available publicly for Woodbury. If you need an up-to-the-minute read on today's market for a specific home or neighborhood, reach out directly rather than relying on any citywide annual average.
