Selling a Woodbury Home During a Divorce
A calm, neutral sale when two owners need to agree, with the same information shared with both of you.
A fair sale in Woodbury
When two people must agree on one sale, clear information helps. I'm Lesley, a REALTOR® with Bridge Realty.
What is different about a divorce sale in Woodbury? The process is the same as any sale, with two additions: both owners approve each decision, and the timeline follows your agreement or court order. In Woodbury, association documents are often part of the preparation.

Details to settle early
- Who orders and pays for the association documents, if the home is in one.
- Who stays in the home during the sale, and how showings are scheduled.
- Who approves repairs, and up to what amount.
- How proceeds are paid at closing, as your attorneys direct.
Pricing from the neighborhood
Woodbury's neighborhoods differ in age and price, so we use sales from your own neighborhood first. Both of you see the same list of sales and the same recommendation.
How we stay neutral and work with your attorneys is explained on our selling a home during divorce page. You can also request a value report for your Woodbury home, read about selling in Woodbury, or visit our Woodbury page.
How property is divided is a legal question for your attorney or mediator. When you are ready, send us a message or call (651) 661-4770. Either owner can contact us.

Who pays for repairs before a divorce sale?

How long does it take to sell a Woodbury home?
It varies with price, condition, and season. We show you both recent selling times for your neighborhood.
Woodbury
What divorce sale looks like in Woodbury
Woodbury is Minnesota's seventh-largest city, 8 miles east of St. Paul on Interstate 94, with public trails around its lakes and more than 160 miles of trails in all.
Woodbury is one of the communities we work in most. It borders Cottage Grove, where I live, and I know how its neighborhoods differ.
- The homes
- Two-story homes, townhomes, and association-maintained communities. Many neighborhoods have a homeowners association.
- Schools people ask about
- Three school districts serve different parts of the city, and South Washington County Schools covers most of it. Confirm the district for any address.
- Getting around
- Interstate 94 runs along the north edge toward St. Paul, and Interstate 494 runs along the west side toward the airport and Bloomington.
- Nearby
- More than 3,300 acres of parks and open space and more than 160 miles of trails, including Carver Lake Park.
- The trade-off
- About 90 percent of the lakeshore is public trail and parkland, so homes directly on a lake are rare.
