As President of the East Central Iowa Association of REALTORS®, I’m proud to represent more than 300 members and help strengthen the connection between our industry and the communities we serve. The spring housing market always draws attention, and our association remains committed to delivering timely, relevant data so members and their clients can confidently navigate a rapidly evolving environment.

For those interested, here’s a synopsis of the Dubuque residential market:
• We're trending towards a balanced market heading into the spring season.
• Days on Market are increasing across most price points—particularly above $300K.
• The “rate lock-in” effect continues to ease, with local 30-year mortgage rates around 5.75% with continued movement toward 5.5%.
• The 2025 median sale price rose 8% year-over-year outpacing inflation and reflecting a seller-favored market though the broader trend suggests a more balanced environment emerging in 2026.

As much as the housing market appeals to the masses, I look forward to the opportunity to share local CRE market conditions in the near future.

REALTORS from around the state, including Eastern Iowa, were in Des Moines this week advocating on behalf of property owners. Please reach out to your REALTOR friends and family and tell thank them for supporting:
-meaningful long-term property tax relief that improves housing affordability and predictability for property owners
-property insurance reforms that ensure faster, fairer and more transparent claims handling
-stronger protections against growing instances of deed and title fraud &
-industry professionalism and consumer protections to maintain or grow education standards ensuring competent and ethical representation.
We are the one of the few, if not the only, group that advocates on behalf of home and property owners. Our system is built around a representative government where voices matter and our legislators are listening. I'm proud to have been part of the strong team from the Dubuque area who showed up and made a difference on behalf of our clients.
Thank you to my fellow ECIAR agents who showed up in support of your clients and to our local legislators who took time out of their busy in-session schedules to listen:
Rep. Lindsay James
Rep. Shannon Lundgren
Rep. Dr. Steven Bradley
Rep. Jennifer Smith
Sen. Tom Townsend
Sen. Carrie Koelker

AI almost nailed it. I typically carry the tablet that has a floor plan and other property resources ready to go if needed - the clipboard is a bit archaic at this point but perhaps it's capturing my old sole.

Looking forward to spending some time in Des Moines next week advocating for property rights.
