Bloomington housing stock
Bloomington's older neighborhoods east of I-35W are full of original 1950s–1960s ramblers and splits — single-pane windows, cast-iron drain lines, original 60–100A electrical service, and boiler heat are all still common. Newer Bloomington housing is concentrated south and west.

Climate, soil & water-table notes for Bloomington
Bloomington sits above the Minnesota River bluff on stable upland soils, but mid-century cast-iron waste lines across the housing core are at or past service life regardless of soil conditions. Expect winter ice-dam patterns on original 1950s–1960s rooflines with under-ventilated attics.
Local real estate context
With a median year built around Built 1965 median and a median home value near $360,000, Bloomington sits in a price band where hidden defects — a failing sewer lateral, a compressed attic insulation package, a furnace quietly nearing end-of-life — can move the number on a negotiation significantly. That's why we spend the full 2–3 hours on-site in Bloomington and document everything with photo and FLIR evidence you can take back to the table.
