I am a Realtorยฎ, wife, mom, entrepreneur, lifelong learner, and positivity fanatic. I know what a great place the Des Moines metro is to raise a family, which is why I have called it home for the past decade. Prior to real estate, I spent eight years working as a high school business teacher. A real estate transaction can seem complex and confusing. My experience in education, and my own personal

real estate transactions, have equipped me with excellent communication skills to explain real estate transactions in an understandable way to clients and ensure the buying and selling process is fun, easy, and stress-free. Investing in real estate is another area of expertise I have. Alongside my husband, we are actively building a real estate investment portfolio with a focus on serving people and communities. Between owning both my primary residence and a handful of real estate investment properties, I have firsthand experience in multiple real estate transactions whether it is buying and selling your home or analyzing potential investment properties. As a real estate agent, my first priority is to make my clients happy and deliver a top notch experience. My passion has always been to help people and the wide world of real estate allows me to do just that.

Another day, another fun date!! It was great time getting lunch and wandering around Des Moines Art Center with Amina Letic and our adorable little 4-year old girlies! (seriously how CUTE are they!!!)

If youโ€™ve never been, the Art Center Cafe has amazing food, treats, and coffee โ€ฆ with an absolutely stunning ambiance! Chicken salad croissant was BOMB. The architecture is amazing and checking out the art was super fun! 10/10 recommend, and itโ€™s free!

I believe I first met Amina when we were in a โ€œ10Xโ€ your business series of courses. I love her bubbly personality and energy .. we definitely vibe!! She is one who I feel comfortable chatting with, collaborating with, and is a hype girl like me. Letโ€™s face it, we all need to feel encouraged .. and Amina does that โค๏ธโค๏ธ It was great to โ€œtalk shopโ€ and about our businesses and life. Canโ€™t wait to do it again! ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ๐Ÿค—

It's "nerd alert" time! ๐Ÿค“ Time for my market update! We are well into the second half of 2026, and if I had to describe our current real estate market, I would say it is very much a โ€œ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘’๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘  ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ โ„Ž๐‘œ๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’โ€ kind of market. Some homes are moving FAST, while others are taking a little more patience .. and price point, condition, location, and pricing strategy are making a big difference.

Looking at resale homes that have gone pending in the last 30 days:
โ˜€๏ธ ๐ท๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘€๐‘œ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘€๐‘’๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ: Homes averaged 42 days on market, with a median of just 23 days.
โ˜€๏ธ ๐ผ๐‘›๐‘‘๐‘–๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘Ž: Homes averaged 38 days on market, with a median of 26 days.

I think the median numbers are especially telling. While some homes sitting longer pull those averages up, half of the homes going pending are doing so in less than a month. And certain segments are moving even faster. I am seeing a real need for homes under $225,000, and when a good, appropriately priced home hits the market in that range, there are buyers ready and waiting.

Another shift I think is really interesting is the ๐‘š๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘ก๐‘”๐‘Ž๐‘”๐‘’ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐‘™๐‘œ๐‘๐‘˜-๐‘–๐‘› ๐‘’๐‘“๐‘“๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก. Mortgage rates are currently hovering somewhere in the 6% range, depending on the buyer and financing situation. For a long time, homeowners with really low mortgage rates felt a strong pull to stay put rather than trade their rate for a much higher one. But, I think we're slowly starting to see that grip loosen. Time keeps moving, and so does life. People get married, have babies, become empty nesters, change jobs, relocate, divorce, inherit homes, or simply outgrow the house they're in. Eventually, the need or desire to move starts to outweigh the desire to hang onto a low mortgage rate .. case in point, it just did for my family!! And yes, we are give up a rockstar mortgage rate, but our NEED for a bigger house was greater. Furthermore, each year more homeowners enter the market with mortgages at today's rates, slowly changing what โ€œnormalโ€ looks like. That doesn't mean the lock-in effect has disappeared, but I do think it is gradually becoming less of a barrier to inventory and movement in the housing market. And, that could be an important piece of what our market looks like moving forward.

So, what does all of this mean? We have a more balanced market with more choices for buyers, but that certainly doesn't mean every buyer has the upper hand. A great house at the right price can still move quickly, especially in our more affordable price points, while homes that miss the mark on price or condition may sit and require adjustments.

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐˜†๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, more inventory can mean more opportunity and negotiating power, but don't assume you can sleep on a great house. The good ones are still moving!

๐—œ๐—ณ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, buyers have choices, which makes pricing and presentation more important than ever. But, there are absolutely buyers in the market, and the right home prepped well and listed at the right price can still get fantastic results.

As always, real estate is incredibly specific to the ๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป, ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜, ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. If you're wondering what any of this means for your move, I'm always happy to dig into the numbers with you!

Annnnnd, thatโ€™s a wrap on Flights & Local Spotlights! โœจ๐ŸŽˆ

Almost 3,000 ENTRIES throughout the giveaways (including all those bonus entries for tagging extra friends). ๐Ÿคฏ THREE. THOUSAND. You guys seriously showed up!! And, 10 lucky winners walked away with some pretty sweet prizes from some pretty awesome local businesses! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐ŸŽ‰

But truly, my favorite part of doing these giveaways is seeing SO much love being spread around our community. I know a follow, like, comment, tag, or share can seem like such a little thing, but those little things really do make a difference for small businesses. Every single interaction helps more people discover the amazing places we have right here in Indianola.

THANK YOU to every single one of you who played along, tagged your friends, shared the posts, followed the businesses, and hyped them up! And congratulations to the winners!! If you didn't win, you still helped introduce someone new to a local business โ€ฆ and THAT is a win in my book.
