The City of Wyoming, Minnesota on the northeastern edge of the Twin Cities metropolitan area is a hidden gem! According to the city's website the town was named after the first settlers who in 1855 relocated from the Wyoming Valley in Pennsylvania. Wyoming boasts its own police and fire departments, city utilities, library, hospital, elementary school and several community parks. Neighborhood shopping is great with a cute coffee shop, drug store and grocery store in the heart of the town.
Activities are abundant in Wyoming. Not only is the center of the community located smack dab on the walking/biking/snowmobile trail that runs along Hwy 61, there is the new Stars and Strikes bowling, laser tag, restaurant and meeting facility too. Several great fishing lakes are nearby including, Forest Lake, Coon Lake and Comfort Lake. Hunting is a favorite activity of many Wyoming residents as areas of Carlos Avery State Wildlife Management area are within its border. Wyoming Elementary is an integral part of the Forest Lake District 831 school district which provides community sports and activities for individuals of all ages.
Commuting into St. Paul or Minneapolis is a breeze from Wyoming as most residences are a within 3-5 minute drive to I35. The city is just 3 miles north of Forest Lake which is home to the NEW Park and Ride lot for an express commute to downtown Minneapolis.
Real estate in Wyoming, MN in southern Chisago County is still selling but it is selling slower than other areas in the metro. The cummulative Days on Market (DOM) Statistic for single family homes in Wyoming is 214 days or approximately 7 months. That is roughly 2 months longer than areas just to the south and west in Forest Lake, Ham Lake and Lino Lakes.
Inventory levels seem to be in line with surrounding communities for price points under $300,000 with about 16 months of inventory. But at higher price points, the inventory level is quite high which translates to approximately 4 years of inventory for Wyoming homes over $300,000, if sales continue at this slower pace.
The amazing deals on the homes in the Wyoming area reflect the changed market. The prices on many existing homes for sale in the Wyoming community have been cut drastically to entice buyers to drive just a little further north.
