The largest single share, 24%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it a newer stock than St. Croix County as a whole (33% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in New Richmond are of similar age: median build years 1988 and 1990.1

Within St. Croix County the median is $377,700, so New Richmond sits below it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
