The Million Dollar question is always get is " Hows the Market"? Depending on who you ask, you can get multiple answers. Licensed realtors like myself use local data from The Des Moines Area Association of Realtors.
July - “Real estate activity has been steady so far this summer. We reached 4,000 properties on the market which is the highest number we have seen in years. Over 57% of the sold properties in July were sold for less than $240,000. We are seeing a fair amount of price reductions right now. Sellers are motivated. This is an excellent time for a first-time home buyer to buy a home with low interest rates and more homes for sale.” stated DMAAR President.
In summary, YES its a great time to sell with many home buyers looking to lock in low interest rates and a good time to buy if you are looking for a low interest rate.
If you are interested in learning more or I can help you in any way, Let me know. I would love to help you get into a new home by the end of the summer .
