Buyer traffic is lower than one year ago at this time.....could it be that gas prices and the uncertainty of the Middle East is slowing down the market just a bit? Average market time for most Central Iowa cities is 30+ days.

“Once upon a time, Angie listed an acreage.” 🌳🏡
Sounds peaceful, right?

Until Angie checked on the vacant property and discovered:
✔️ A squatter with his RV parked in the front yard 🚐
✔️ And the largest satellite dish known to mankind attached to the house 📡😂

The Sheriff’s Department advised Angie to stay away until the squatter moved on… which took about a week.

Bonus detail: the squatter was a frequent flier at the story county jail. 😬

✨ Rates at 5.99% with "points." We can ask the Seller to pay for those.
✨ Only a $250 origination fee

Many lenders charge thousands in upfront fees — which can increase your monthly payment and overall loan costs.

I’m happy to connect you with some of my favorite loan officers here.

Sellers, you should “burp” your house on purpose 🤯
Don't just light a candle and hope buyers don’t notice anything 🕯️
House burping is inspired by the German practice Lüften — opening your windows to kick out stale air, humidity, and any… questionable smells.
In short, good smells SELL.

More buyers are saying: “Yeah… we’re gonna check that sewer.” 👀
Because sewer repairs aren’t just expensive—they’re a full-on stinky surprise.
Better to scope it now than smell it later.
Nothing kills the vibe like a surprise underground issue. 💩

🚨 Did you know?
7 out of 10 homes in Iowa test above EPA-recommended radon levels.

Radon is invisible, odorless—and dangerous.
Breathing it daily can be comparable to smoking 8–10 ci******es a day.
It’s also the #2 leading cause of lung cancer.

The good news? You can take action today.
✔️ Start by testing your home
✔️ Know your levels
✔️ Protect your family

🤔 Is Your Home Value Really What You Think It Is?

Is your home’s value the same as your property tax assessment?
Is that online estimate actually accurate?

Here’s the truth 👇
📌 Assessed value = used for taxes (and often outdated)
📌 Online estimates = automated guesses based on limited data

💡 Your home’s true market value depends on what a buyer is willing to pay right now — and that takes real, local insight. Call or email me anytime to chat about your unique home!
