Commercial in Fargo: what the market looks like

Fargo's renovation market is remarkably active for a city its size. Oil and gas income from western North Dakota flows back to Fargo professionals who invest in their homes. The Island Park and Woodrow Wilson neighborhoods have older stock in active renovation cycles. Brutal winters (temperatures regularly reach -30°F) make energy envelope work, insulation, triple-pane windows, vapor control, the most impactful and common category.
