5 Signs It's Time to Sell Your Home

October 15th, 2020 by Anonymous

Have you been browsing listings, keeping an eye on mortgage rates, and imagining life in a new neighborhood, but you can't quite bring yourself to list your home? We understand.

Creative Home Solutions in the Wake of COVID

October 9th, 2020 by Anonymous

The Land Trends and Value Survey, presented by the Iowa Farm and Land Chapter #2 REALTORS Land Institute, reported no increase or decrease in cropland values on a statewide average for the March 2020 to September 2020 period. Combining this stable period with the 0.1% increase reported in March 2020 indicates a statewide average increase of 0.1% from September 1, 2019 to September 1, 2020.

In our East Central district, high quality cropland is selling at $10,355 per acre, or at the second highest rate in the state. This is up slightly from the value reported in March, 2020. Timber is selling at an average of $2,627 per acre. "Low interest rates and the resurgence of investor buyers have helped maintain land values. A good harvest and some strength in the commodit...
