“When we had the opportunity

to build our own house and

customize it the way we

wanted it, my wife and I knew

we wanted to build with Peter

Parks because of his extreme

attention to detail. We knew

of Peter as a meticulous trim

thought of someone so detail-

of the entire house was a big

selling point.”

Home Prices Continued to Rise and Sales Remained Steady in March

CLIVE, IOWA (April 2013) – Homes prices continued to rise and sales remained steady last month, according to the Iowa Association of Realtors® (IAR).

The IAR’s March 2013 Housing Trends Report shows the median price across Iowa increased by 5.9 percent, climbing from $118,000 in March 2012 to $125,000 in March 2013. Similarly, the average sale price increased 4.4 percent. The average sale price was $138,265 last March and $144,372 this March.

Sales across the state increased by 0.7 percent with just 18 more homes selling last month than last March. The total number of homes that sold/closed was 2,672 in March 2013 and 2,654 in March 2012. Average days on the market dropped by a substantial 13 days from 120 days last March to just 107 days this March.

In addition, the statewide sold/list price ratio rose to 95.3, up 0.7 percent from last year, indicating that sellers are selling their homes close to asking price.

“We’ve been saying for months that the market is doing quite well here in Iowa,” says Don Marple, president of the Iowa Association of Realtors®. “Fortunately we didn’t see the extreme highs or lows in prices or sales that other areas of the nation experienced in the past few challenging years. We held pretty steady and continue to do so, often even better than steady. I think it’s reassuring for consumers to know that there is stability in our market, and the data indicates that buyers and sellers are feeling more and more confident about the situation across the state.”

Iowa’s statewide inventory of homes on the market was down 12.6 percent from last year and new active listings decreased by 16.2 percent. The months supply of inventory (MSI) was 6 months, down 20.4 percent from

last year, setting us at an approximately even buyer/seller market, says Marple. “The biggest challenge in the market currently is that we need more homes available for interested and qualified buyers. We encourage anyone interested in selling their home to meet with a local Realtor® to discuss the benefits of listing at this time.”

March closed out the first quarter (Q1) of 2013, which illustrated more good news for Iowa, says Marple. According to the IAR, the average sale price, median sale price, number of homes sold/closed, number of new pending sales, and the average sold price/list price ratio were all up in Q1 2013 when compared to the first quarter of the past two years. Also, days on the market were down in Q1 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Marple adds that more than 60 Iowa Realtors® will join thousands of Realtors® from across the nation in Washington D.C. in May. The leaders will visit with national legislators about important homeownership issues and legislation in our continual efforts to protect private property rights.

The information used to create the IAR March 2012 Housing Trends Report was current as of April 11 at 4:00 p.m. The information is subject to change

due to the dynamic nature of the IAR’s housing statistics system, which is updated hourly based on information present in local participating MLS (multiple listing service) systems.

The Iowa Association of Realtors® is the state’s largest real estate professional organization representing nearly 6,200 members and affiliates. The IAR releases a Housing Trends Report each month. Data is collected from local Realtor® boards through their multiple listing service (MLS), which tracks sales activities in the board area. The IAR compiles all of the local board data into the statewide report each month. Reports are available online to IAR members and affiliates with a login and password. Anyone is eligible to become an IAR affiliate. For membership information, visit www.iowarealtors.com.

Shrinking inventory has resulted in higher sales prices. The percent of original price received at sale(SP/LP comparison) shows that sellers are receiving offers that are closer to the asking price.

More closed and pending sales coupled with fewer new listings continues the trend of shrinking inventories. Statewide inventory is now equal to six months of supply, with some local areas even lower.

iowa Home Sales and Prices CLIVE, IOWA (May 2013) – The latest report from the Iowa Association of Realtors® indicates that home sales and prices rose in April.

The IAR’s April 2013 Housing Trends Report shows that sales climbed 6.1 percent from April 2012. A total of 2,851 homes sold/closed last month, while 2,688 homes sold/closed last April.

The median sale price across Iowa rose by 3.2 percent from $124,000 in April 2012 to $128,000 in April 2013. The average sale price also increased by 1.4 percent. The average sale price was $144,813 in April 2012 and $146,885 in April 2013.

Days on the market continued to decrease, dropping 12 days or 10.8 percent from last year. The average number of days on the market in April 2012 was 111 days, while the average in April 2013 was 99 days.

The number of homes on the market across the state at the end of the month was 18,331, down 13 percent from April 2012 when the statewide inventory was 21,061 homes. The months’ supply of inventory (MSI) was 6.2 months, down 20.9 percent from last April when the MSI was 7.8 months.

Most of the numbers we track continue to show positive movement, says Don Marple, president of the Iowa Association of Realtors®. “We have had 14 continuous months of year-over-year positive price growth in both the median and average sale prices,” Marple states.

“Although inventory levels did increase slightly in April from the prior month, more homes are still needed on the market to keep up with demand right now,” he explains. “For those who may be considering selling their home, now is an ideal time to list with a local Realtor®. Prices have rebounded, plus interest rates are still low, making homeownership affordable for many Iowans.”

“The Iowa Association of Realtors®, the Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Home Ownership Education Project are partnering to offer free educational sessions explaining many of the great programs available to Iowa home buyers,” says Marple. The seminars entitled, Free Home Buyer Education Series: Unique Iowa Programs & Information to Get You Started, will be held in cities across Iowa and are free and open to the public. “We are hoping to reach as many Iowans as possible with this valuable information about programs to help them achieve their home owning dreams.” For more information and to register visit IowaFinanceAuthority.gov/Registration.

The information used to create the IAR April 2013 Housing Trends Report was current as of May 10 at 8:30 a.m. The information is subject to change due to the dynamic nature of the IAR’s housing statistics system, which is updated hourly based on information present in local participating MLS (multiple listing service) systems.

The term Realtor® is a registered trademark, which identifies real estate professionals who follow a strict Code of Ethics as members of the National Association of Realtors®. This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the Code, which was the second of its kind when it was established back in 1913.

Rose in April

The number of closed sales continues to outpace last year, despite lower overall inventory levels. Pending sales are also up, indicating a strong summer selling season.

Prices have rebounded significantly since 2011, allowing sellers today to price their homes more aggressively. However, low interest rates have helped keep homeownership affordable for many Iowans.

by Creighton Cox, Executive OfficerHome Builders Association of Greater Des Moines

When planning your home remodel, choose to hire a professional for getting the job done right. Home owners can save time, aggravation, and money by hiring a professional remodeler.

Consider some of the qualities that make professional remodelers the best choice for your home remodel:

1. Technical training and experience in home remodeling. These remodelers have years of technical training and experience that cannot be equaled by do-it-yourself books or television programs. They understand a home’s structure, electrical wiring, plumbing and other details that must be considered before attempting a home remodel. Inexperience and ignorance can create costly mistakes, but professional remodelers can prevent disasters and solve unexpected problems.

2. Ability to creatively address budget and space constraints. Most remodelers relish the chance to employ new design solutions to reorganize and maximize space ina home. This ability to work with a home owner on their remodeling dreams withina budget is a specialty of many remodelers. They can helppropose alternatives that keep the budget in check,such as providing a variety of product choices orredesigning interior space to minimize theneed for building home additions.

Make the smartest investment in your home by hiring a professionalremodeler. They’ll help you stay on budget, solve remodeling challenges,

and provide a higher-quality service.

For more tips on planning a home remodel or hiring a professional remodeler, visit www.nahb.org/remodel or contact Home Builders Association of Greater Des Moines & Remodelers Council of GreaterDes Moines at www.remodeldesmoines.com.

3. Information on tax credits and other ways to save money. Remodelers can help you cash in on energy efficiency tax credits for saving on remodeling expenses. These credits offer money back on installing energy efficiency improvements such as new windows, doors, insulation, roofing, and more (see www.nahb.org/efficiencytaxcredit for more information). Remodelers may also know of additional local or state credits, rebates, and other methods of saving money on your home remodel.

4. Commitment to excellent customer service. A professional remodeler has solid business skills and understands that remodeling is about providing excellent customer service. These remodelers will take meetings and return phone calls to address customer concerns proactively. They prioritize customer satisfaction and take pride in their remodeling work.

5. Professional references and work samples. Professional remodelers are more likely to belong to trade associations (such as the National Association of Home Builders) where they benefit from education programs, acquiring knowledge and skills to better run abusiness and improve their home remodeling services. A remodeler in good standing can also provide references from past clients. They also can show examples of previous remodeling projects to give you a feel of the quality and style of their work.
