Bloomington · Move-Up Buyers
Moving Up Within Bloomington
Sell the home you have outgrown and buy the one you need, with both moves planned together.
Moving up in Bloomington
Many Bloomington owners want more space without giving up the location. Our office is here, and I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
How do I move up in Bloomington? Plan the sale of your current home first, including the city's Time-of-Sale inspection, and decide whether your next home will be on the east or west side. Because Bloomington is largely built out, you will most likely buy an existing home.
Two things specific to Bloomington
- The Time-of-Sale inspection on the home you sell. Schedule it early, so required repairs do not delay both closings.
- Updating versus moving. With little new construction, some owners add on instead. We can show you what larger homes nearby have sold for, so you can compare the cost of each path.
Coordinating the two closings
We set the order with your lender. See move-up buyers, selling in Bloomington, and our Bloomington page. Nearby, we also work in Edina.

What move-up buyers looks like in Bloomington
Bloomington is a city of about 90,000 on the Minnesota River, 10 miles south of downtown Minneapolis, next to the airport and home to the Mall of America.
Our office is in Bloomington. The city is split by Interstate 35W into a more residential west side and an east side with more business and retail.
- The homes
- A large, fully built city, so most homes are existing homes. The city requires a Time-of-Sale housing inspection when a home is sold.
- Getting around
- Interstate 494 runs across the north side and Interstate 35W runs north to Minneapolis. The Blue Line light rail connects the Mall of America to the airport and downtown Minneapolis.
- Nearby
- The Mall of America, the airport, Hyland Lake Park Reserve, Bush Lake, Normandale Lake, and 97 parks and green spaces.
- The trade-off
- Some homes are near the airport, so visit at different times of day to hear the flight paths.
