Sell Your Oakdale Home for What It Is Worth
Sell your Minnesota home with a clear plan for pricing, preparation, marketing, and the offer that nets you the most.
Selling your Oakdale home
Most Oakdale homes were built in the same few decades, so buyers often compare homes of a similar age side by side. What sets yours apart is its condition and its updates. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
How do I get a strong price for my home in Oakdale? Price it against recent sales of similar homes nearby, not the city average, and show buyers clearly what has been updated. A new roof, windows, or furnace can make the difference between two homes on the same street.

What Oakdale buyers ask about
- Updates and their dates. We list what you replaced and when, so buyers see it before they tour.
- The commute. Interstate 694, Interstate 94, and Highway 36 are close by, and the METRO Gold Line has a park-and-ride lot in Oakdale. We show your home's access in the marketing.
- Parks nearby. If you are close to the Oakdale Nature Preserve, Tanners Park, or another of the city's 29 parks, we point that out.
- The school district. North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale (District 622) serves the city. We state it accurately in the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to sell a home in Oakdale?
It depends on price, condition, and season. A well-priced, well-prepared home gets the most attention in its first few weeks.
Should I update my Oakdale home before I sell?
Sometimes. Buyers compare homes of similar age, so a repair that fixes a clear problem often pays off. We help you decide which projects are worth it and which are not.
Where can buyers check my home's property taxes?
Washington County's property tax lookup shows the current tax and assessed value for any Oakdale address. We include the figure in your listing.

Oakdale
What selling your home looks like in Oakdale
Oakdale is a Washington County suburb on the Interstate 694, Interstate 94, and Highway 36 corridors, with 29 city parks and a METRO Gold Line park-and-ride.
Oakdale is close to Woodbury and Lake Elmo, two communities we work in often, and most of its homes were built from the 1960s to the early 2000s.
- The homes
- Single-family homes make up about half of Oakdale's housing, mostly built between 1960 and 2000, and townhomes about a fifth, mostly built between 1980 and 2000.
- Schools people ask about
- North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale (District 622) serves Oakdale. Confirm the district and schools for any address.
- Getting around
- Interstate 694, Interstate 94, and Highway 36 run through the area, and the METRO Gold Line has a park-and-ride lot in Oakdale.
- Nearby
- 29 city parks, including the Oakdale Nature Preserve and its Discovery Center, plus a boat launch and beach at Tanners Park.
- The trade-off
- Most of Oakdale was built out from the 1980s to the early 2000s, and new home construction has been limited since, so most choices are resale homes.
