Where Do Minnesotans Retire?

Most Stay Right Here in Minnesota

(It’s kind of a trick question.)

According to census data reviewed by Minnesota Public Radio earlier in 2019, more than 25,000 Minnesotans over the age of 50 have moved to Arizona in the past decade. 15,000 have moved to Florida. But, considering Minnesota’s fast-growing population of seniors, the vast majority of Minnesota retirees seem to stay right here in Minnesota – with Duluth being a favorite spot.

Considering a move to warmer climes, but not quite sure where to start? We’d be happy to sit down to talk through your potential move, how and when you should put your house on the market, and provide some guidance about the housing markets in other areas. We know many other realtors we trust in other parts of the country that we’d be happy to refer you to. SEND US AN EMAIL and we’ll be in touch.

The Best Cities to Retire to in each State


As the leaves fall and colder weather moves in, many experienced homeowners ask themselves that annual question “Is this Minnesota winter really for me?” We’ve had many recent conversations with people going through this decision-making process. If we move, do we sell first or buy? Should we downsize to a condo or smaller home? Should we get the heck out of here and head to warmer climate? When’s the best time to put our home on the market?

The Kim Pease Team can help ask the right questions that will assist you in navigating your next move, whether that be, to a smaller home, a condo, or a move to another state.

Contact us if you or someone you know might need some guidance.
