The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Greater Mankato Area, Minnesota for the week ending November 1, 2026, came to a combined $3.36 million. Each sale was in a different community, from Mankato and North Mankato to Janesville, Montgomery and Eagle Lake, and the homes reach across Blue Earth, Nicollet and Le Sueur counties.
The group runs from a home built in 1920 to one with a 2026 build date, and from a lot of about a quarter acre to one of more than 32 acres. Three of the homes are two stories and two are one story.
