Remember the time your dad taught you how to fish? Or when he was teaching you how to drive, and you almost wrecked his car? What about those yearly summer traditions you had like going to the movies on Monday nights or having a big family dinner for Father's Day? Well, we here at Ruhl&Ruhl love celebrating family traditions, and Father's Day is no different. So we asked a few family members to share their Father's Day traditions. Check it out! "I am pretty easy so most days my wife and kids do a grill out for me with a big steak (my favorite) and they usually give me a few gifts (that I insist not be extravagant)." – Sean, Moline Office "My dad moved to Detroit four years ago, but every year before that, we used to participate in Ride the River on the Illinois bike paths.

  1. Install Apps to Quickly Compare Housing Costs

Yes. You can't haul your computer or tons of papers around with you from showing to showing. What happens when you go to dinner and you forget those papers? Mobile apps solve all you problems. Well guess what?

At 7:45am on Thursday, June 9 th, Amanda sat in her car and contemplated the risk of leaving. It was pouring rain outside, so leaving meant getting wet. But leaving also meant saving lives, because Amanda was on her way to the Ruhl&Ruhl Blood Drive. So Amanda, like many other selfless people that morning, left her car, got a little wet, and donated blood.  Rainy Morning at the Blood Drive Less than two hours later, the rain had cleared and the sun was shining bright. It turned out to be a gorgeous day, and many of our family members agreed!  Andy, Kurt, Chris, and Lisa, giving blood and saving lives! Ruhl&Ruhl SURPASSED our goal of 18 pints and donated 22 pints of blood on Thursday! Thank you to everyone who came out to donate, it was a wonderful day of having fun, giving blood, and saving lives! And thank you to the

Every single local metropolitan area experienced a positive gain in five-year home appreciation, or the growth in value of your home over five-years. Averages ranged between 5.24% and 12.49% growth, with the highest five-year appreciation in Iowa City followed by Des Moines and the Quad Cities. Nationally, this is the 19th consecutive quarter where home prices appreciated. Comparing to this time last year, prices rose 5.7% with every state experiencing positive gains. With the current growth in appreciation, low interest rates and a strong seller's market in our region, right now could be an ideal time to consider upgrading to your dream home. Contact a Ruhl&Ruhl Realtor today! See the chart below for a side-by-side comparison of home prices across regions and the nation.
