		1 Year	5 Year

Information courtesy of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for third quarter 2013. FHFA stats always run one quarter behind. Their full report is available at www.fhfa.gov. *Rankings based on annual percentage change in house prices. In the past year our prices did not appreciate as much as prices in many other markets. This is because our home prices didn't fall as drastically as other areas of the county, so the increase in home price appreciation has been modest but steady. A continued shortage of listings and low, but rising interest rates may impact home prices locally. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, of the 287 MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) ranked by home price appreciation, all of our markets in eastern Iowa ranked in the top 68% in the nation – Cedar Rapids at 194^th, Quad Cities at 170^th, Dubuque at 123^rd and our highest Iowa City at 108^th. Our local markets continue to provide a much more stable environment for purchasing homes and investing in real estate than most other markets nationally.

		1 Year	5 Year
Cedar Rapids, IA	173	+ 0.67%	+ 0.74%

Iowa City, IA	106	+ 1.96%	+ 1.95%
USA		+ 6.72%	- 9.15%

Information courtesy of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) for first quarter 2013. FHFA stats always run one quarter behind. Their full report is available at www.fhfa.gov. *Rankings based on annual percentage change in house prices. Our markets didn't fall as drastically as other areas of the country, so the increase in home price appreciation has modest but steady. The shortage of listings and pent up buyer demand may further improve home prices locally. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, of the 300 MSAs (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) ranked by home price appreciation, all of our markets in eastern Iowa ranked in the top 58% in the nation – Dubuque at 98th; Iowa City at 106th; the Quad Cities at 140th; and Cedar Rapids at 173rd. Nationally, this is the seventh consecutive quarterly price rise and overall it's believed the housing market has stabilized in many areas, but a still-elevated foreclosure pipeline remains a hindrance to a bigger recovery, said FHFA Principal Economist Andrew Leventis. Our local markets continue to provide a much more stable environment for purchasing homes and investing in real estate. The Home Price Index is calculated using home sales price information from mortgages sold to or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A family-owned company since 1862, Ruhl&Ruhl Realtors has grown to nearly 301 sales associates, 58 employees and twelve offices, selling more than 5,000 homes in eastern Iowa, western Illinois and southwest Wisconsin. The company has residential sales offices in Bettendorf, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Davenport, DeWitt, Dubuque, Iowa City, Maquoketa, Muscatine, and Washington, Iowa; and in Moline, Illinois. In addition to residential sales, the company offers services in relocation, property management, real estate investments, new home sales, land development, farm and land sales, senior services, home vendor services, insurance services through the Nelson Brothers Agency and mortgage services through Shelter Mortgage.
