“For some living in the warmer parts of the U.S., extreme weather tied to climate change is enough for them to consider cooler, safer climates.
No, Minnesota is not immune from the effects of climate change. But one Minnesota realtor says the state’s northern location is appealing appealing to her clientele from southern U.S.
“When you’re talking to people that are coming from all over the place, they do mention [Minnesota is] a more livable lifestyle that makes them feel safer,” said Mary Schumann, a realtor with Keller Williams Realty.
Schumann talked with MPR meteorologist Paul Huttner about the role climate change is having in people’s decision to move north.”

I am a real estate agent in the Minneapolis / St. Paul area of Minnesota. I love living in Minneapolis! I am NOT a native to the area - I have lived in Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, Illinois and now here - Minneapolis is my favorite so far. :) With all of these moves there have been MANY purchases and sales of homes for us personally - including our own homes, estates, rental property, corporate relocation etc. If there is one thing I KNOW, it's how it feels to be either the excited buyer or the seller having to leave their home for one reason or another.
We moved here when my husband was transferred - we had never been to or even considered visiting Minnesota before. Now I consider it a very lucky break on our part.
I hope to share information about living in Minneapolis, what the neighborhoods are like, as well as information about the home buying and selling process.
