If you live in Storm Lake, IA and you don't own your home you probably know the kind of shortage we have in rental properties. Our office Weaver Realtors receives between 20 and 25 calls, emails and texts a day from people in need of a rental property. The demand has pushed up the price on rentals and it is very difficult ot get anything for less that $500 a month, and most are between $550 and $650.

What kind of a home could you pay if you paid $550 a month for rent? Well with interest rates below 4.5% and a 30 year fixed mortgage with good credit you could be buying and building net worth on a $75,000 mortgage, figure taxes at $100 a month ($1,200 a year), and insurance at $66.67 ($800 a year) total payment with principle, interest, taxes and insurance is an estimated $546.68 a month.

Storm Lake IA does have a number of banks with loan products for people without perfect credit, and less than 20 % down payment. There are currently 58 homes on the market that fit the above example. Want to learn more, call me Georgia Weaver 712-291-011

Homes Sold in Iowa City February 2012 Compared to February 2011

Home Sales in Iowa City were up again in February. 22 homes sold in Iowa City February 2012 compared to 21 in February 2011. That's not as impressive as January when home sales were up significantly compared to last year. I don't think this means the Iowa City real estate market is slowing down though since there are currently 81 homes marked as contingent or sale pending right now on the Iowa City MLS, a really good sign that we have a lot of closings coming up!

The absorption rate has increased to 6.5 months, that's an average of 196 days on market. The calculation for the absorption rate factors in the number of homes currently listed as active on the MLS. With spring just around the corner the number of homes on the market has risen quite a bit since last month, which is likely the explanation as to why the absorption rate / number of days on market is going up at the moment and not down. (The link at the start of this paragraph takes you to a post I wrote a while back on how the absorption rate is calculated).

Homes sold in Iowa City February 2012 Compared to February 2011

All the signs show that the real estate market in Iowa City is picking up. 8 straight months of positive data speaks for itself! If you have a house to sell, now would be a really good time to put that plan into action. Spring and early summer is typically the time in Iowa City when the most buyers are out and about. Getting your house on the market when there are the most buyers to see it is a very good idea. Not convinced yet? Want to talk through your options and figure out whether now is a good time for you to list your home in Iowa City? Give me a call at 319-400-0268 or drop me an email. I won't feed you a line - I'll tell you what I think. Give me a call and put me to the test!

Storm Lake IA, homes are selling, homes are listing here and in the other local towns like Newell, Aurelia, Alta and Schaller. It looks to be a busy year, and I for one am ready to hit the ground running hard! Last year was good, but it looks like this year may just be great. We are planning to open a new office in a town about 12 mines east of here. New systems and people, but what a great time to grow a business. I am a firm believer in a solid plan, good but always improving systems, great people, honesty and integrity - it's like being on a lake with wind in your sails, you are going to go places.

Have a blessed and prosperous 2012 everyone!
