The Fizbit

Fizbo Market Record — March 27, 2026 Among the 3 active listings in La Crescent, MN, 114 Fireside Court prices at $259,900, placing it at the 33rd price percentile for the city. The La Crescent city median runs $259,900, positioning this listing at the local midpoint in a three-property comp set. Statewide against the Minnesota median of $399,900, this sits at the 42nd percentile — approaching the state's midpoint, a position that reflects La Crescent's accessibility relative to the broader Minnesota market. At 2,496 square feet in a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom contemporary built in 1975, the price per square foot calculates to $104.12. The 5-bedroom count registers at 1.5 times the La Crescent city average for active listings, and the 2-bathroom count likewise registers at 1.5 times the city average — a combined room profile that places this listing at the top of the city's active inventory for household capacity. At 2,496 square feet, this property is at the 67th percentile for lot-adjusted square footage in La Crescent's current comp set, delivering above-median space at the city's median price point. The 1975 contemporary is supported by a documented schedule of system replacements that address the primary concerns a buyer considers when evaluating a 50-year-old structure: a new roof in 2014, a furnace replacement in 2020, and a water heater replacement in 2023. Roof, heating, and hot water are the three mechanical categories that buyers and lenders most commonly flag for older homes. Their systematic replacement across an 11-year window through 2023 means the next owner carries no immediate replacement liability for any of the three. The cul-de-sac position eliminates through traffic, and the large deck extends the usable living footprint into the warm months. The contemporary architectural designation in a 1975 La Crescent home typically indicates vaulted ceilings and an interior volume that exceeds what the exterior footprint suggests. The vaulted ceilings noted in the listing confirm this configuration, which expands visual space without expanding the tax footprint. A two-car detached garage provides covered storage and parking independent of the main structure, a practical asset in a Minnesota climate. For the listing agent, 114 Fireside Court is positioned as a capacity-per-dollar proposition: five bedrooms, two bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, a documented capital improvement history, and 2,496 square feet at La Crescent's city median price. A buyer evaluating the three active La Crescent listings will find no other property in the city that matches the combination of bedroom count, square footage, and recent system investment at this price point. La Crescent's Mississippi River setting and proximity to La Crosse round out the case for buyers weighing small-city river community living against metro-area costs.
