Home Prices

Up

Sales Dipped Slightly in February CLIVE, IOWA (Mar. 16, 2013) – According to the Iowa Association of Realtors® (IAR) home prices were up substantially in February, while sales dipped slightly.

In its February 2013 Housing Trends Report, IAR reports the median sale price jumped 12.9 percent and the average sale Average and median price rose significantly in February 2013.

The sold price/list price ratio was also up, indicating that sellers are receiving offers that are close to the asking price of a property.

price was up 11.0 percent. The median sale price was $118,000 in February 2013 and $104,500 in February 2012. The average sale price was $141,326 in February 2013 and $127,264 in February 2012. Twenty-six of the 44 local Realtor® boards in the state reported increases in the median sale price, and 28 had increases in average sale price last month. In addition, the sold/ list price ratio rose to 94.6, up 1.3 percent from last year.

Sales across the state dropped 2.9 percent from last year at this time with just 55 more homes sold in February 2012 than last month. The report shows that 1,851 homes sold/closed in

Amy Smith, PR Coordinator Iowa Association of Realtors® amy@iowarealtors.com

“Both median and average sale prices rose significantly in February, likely due to reduced inventory levels,” says Don Marple, president of the Iowa Association of Realtors®. He added that the increased sold price/list price ratio indicates that sellers are receiving offers that are close to asking price.

“Although sales were down slightly in February, overall, year-to-date sales in 2013 are still up 6.7 percent compared to the number of sales for the first two months of 2012.” The numerous winter storms this year and the low inventory may be factors in the decline, says Marple. “When it’s snowy and the roads are slick, people often stay home and wait for warmer weather to go house hunting,” he explained. “Also, inventory is very low right now across the state. We need more homes on the market to meet the buyers’ demand,” adds Marple. He encourages sellers who may be on the fence to contact a local Realtor® to consider listing their home this spring.

The information used to create the IAR February 2013 Housing Trends Report was current as of March 14 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 number of sold listings in February 2013 declined compared to the number sold in February 2012. Weather and low inventory may be contributing factors. Overall, 2013 year-to-date sales are up 6.7 percent compared to 2012 year-to-date sales.

February 2013 and 1,906 homes sold/closed in February 2012.

Twenty-one boards had increases in sales last month.

The statewide inventory of homes on the market at the end of the month was 17,434, which includes 3,989 new active residential listings. The month’s supply of inventory (MSI) in February 2013 was 5.9 months, down 18.5 percent from February 2012 when the supply was 7.3 months.

The average days on the market was 104 days, down nine days or 9.6 percent from last February. Thirty local boards had decreases in average days on the market.

What are the

t s Be

Ways to Add Value to Your Home Which home remodeling projects are the best ones for those looking for a solid return on their investment — and higher profits come selling day?

Americans spent over $114 billion on home remodeling in 2009, according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).

Remodeling is expected to outpace new home building in about 10 years.

But all home remodeling projects are not equal.

Here are some top ways to add value to your home: A Home Office Remodel Home offices are becoming less of a luxury and more of a necessity, with more people telecommuting.

The number of Americans that work from home is in the millions, and that number has continued to grow every year. With many companies cutting costs and becoming more aware of their carbon footprints, telecommuting has become a viable solution for many in the working world. Making sure that your home has a state-of-the-art space for potential teleworkers is a surefire way to increase your home’s value.

20

Renovate or Add a Family Room.

With open floor plans becoming more in demand, a family room is an excellent way to make existing homes more like new construction.

Remember, it’s a good idea to keep in mind what homes in your area are like.

People like to purchase homes that blend with other homes around them. Chances are you’ll find many of your neighbors are investing in family rooms as well.

Replace the Roof.

The roof is one of the first impressions people have of a home.

Make sure yours passes the test by replacing an old roof. You can also change the character of your home by looking into architecturally styled roofing tiles.

Landscape Your Yard.

Along the same lines of thinking as the roof, landscaping can give a great – or not so great – first impression.

Backyard landscaping can transform ordinary spaces into incredible entertaining areas by including elegant water features and lush plants. Consider your area’s climate. If you live in an area that receives temperate weather year-round, you’ll find that your new landscaped yard adds value to your home and increases your living space.

Replace Old Windows.

Thirty percent of a home’s energy is lost through its windows.

Replacing old windows with energy-efficient ones signals to home buyers that you really care about the house and it reflects on the quality of the house as a whole. Plus, who doesn’t like to save money on energy bills?

Remodel Your Basement.

Look at space you already have. Do you have unused space that serves as a black hole for all things without a home? Try remodeling your basement. Remodeled basements can make excellent game rooms or guest suites, adding value to your home without adding space.

Paint, Paint, Paint.

Enough said. But remember to hire a professional if you need help and keep the colors neutral if

you’re looking to sell. Nothing looks worse than a poorly done paint job in bright fuchsia.

Remodel Your Kitchen.

Small changes can result in big value. Upgrading appliances, door handles and painting tired walls can add new life to your kitchen, and add value to your home.

The general rule when doing a remodel is not to overdo it…unless it’s the kitchen. Kitchens sell a home, and in this case, size does matter. But a kitchen remodel is a longterm investment; you’ll see payback 10 years down the road. And if you are a DIYer, know your limits. Sometimes doing it yourself can save money, but always bring in a professional for the big jobs.

Remodel or Add a Bathroom.

A bathroom remodel can often mean simply making the most of your current space, by upgrading fixtures, flooring and lighting. Have a little more money in the budget? Adding a bathroom is a great way to increase the value of your home. Is your only bathroom upstairs and not convenient for dinner guests? Often the area under a set of stairs is the perfect place for a powder room.

Gene was the first realtor to open a "branch" office in the city, and we were the first to market available real estate through color tabloids.

Stanbrough Realty, with its distinctive gold signs and black lettering was a family-operated enterprise through the 1960s and early 1970s playing a part in Des Moines' great comeback era of the late 1970s and 1980s. And through the family name has been in the real estate market ever since the start on New Years Day 1960, the name itself is undergoing a renaissance as a business icon.

Stanbrough Realty changed its name to First Realty in 1983, with Dan as president, grew to 700 sales associates in 60 offices; the family company was later merged into a regional financial institution.

Top Five HOME MAINTENANCE PROJECTS During National Remodeling Month this May, review some tips from professional remodelers on maintaining your greatest investment, your home. Regular home inspection and repair will help maintain the condition of your home and save on costly emergencies in the future.

An informal poll of professional remodelers revealed five tips for maintaining your home to keep it in top condition and support home value. Proper home maintenance should start with a regular inspection of the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior and the heating and cooling system to ensure the home is running smoothly.

1. Inspect the roof.

An examination of the roof will reveal spots that need repair, preventing leaks that ruin home interiors and valuables. Regular roof maintenance prevents roof problems leading to structural damages and other expensive emergencies.

2. Add insulation.

Most houses can benefit from installing or repairing the insulation barrier in the home. Adequate attic insulation, in particular, keeps the home from losing energy with wasted heating and cooling.

A better insulated home means less work for the heating and cooling system and lower energy bills.

3. Repaint surfaces.

A fresh coat of paint does wonders for a home by updating the color palette and giving the home a shiny new start. Quality paint jobs also protect surfaces and prevent problems like rotting wood.

Consider using no- or low-VOC paints for reducing fumes while drying and keeping the home air quality more comfortable.

4. Monitor flashing and caulking.

Worn window flashing and caulking allows water to penetrate the walls, causing damage to drywall and framing. Asking a professional to inspect windows can prevent water intrusion, saving thousands in major repairs down the road. Additionally, examine caulking and sealing in bathrooms to ensure water isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leaking into walls or floors.

5. Check the water heater and heating and cooling system.

Waiting until the water heater, furnace, or airconditioning fails will cost more in emergency repairs. Bring in experts to assess these units to ensure they are functioning and receive needed repairs. Newer water heaters and HVAC systems can increase home efficiency, bringing down water and energy bills.
