Frustrating things for homeowners who said SELL


If you haven't noticed...there is a ting of fall in the air. This is the time in Iowa to make sure that your flower beds are mulched, your yard is in good condition and ready for winter. Look at the front door; should you paint or varnish before winter? Does your window door side lights or solid view front or sliding door have pet paws, now is the time to clean before winter. Don't overuse carpet deodorizers and room fresheners. A little bit goes a long ways.


I heard a great figure today. In July, the housing market went up 3%. Home buying and selling are not exact sciences. There is no "better" day to hold an open house.


Selling? So there is no good reason for "why" a home hasn't sold. Investigate, ask questions and be wise.


I had a great open house yesterday. Listed on 17 acres is a home in Cedar County listed at $510,000. The farm land is in CRP which means that the government pays the farmer not to farm and is paying $140.00 per acre per year and the contract was for 10 years.
