📰 News we're reading
• Richfield, Minn.: Symbol of Post-WWII Homeownership (nar.realtor) — Richfield's postwar housing boom and long farming history still shape the city's character, from compact starter homes to strong neighborhood parks and amenities. A local family's VA-backed 1985 home purchase shows how Richfield houses have supported education, stability, and generational wealth, while current prices and inventory highlight what today's buyers can expect in this inner-ring suburb.
