Story County is home to about 100,466 residents, with Nevada as the county seat. The median owner-occupied home is valued near $258,700, above the Iowa median of $208,000, so equity is often there even when a house needs work.

Most homes in Story County date from around 1984, an age when furnaces, roofs and windows start coming due, and many sellers would rather not fund those updates before moving.

Median household income is near $69,685 (statewide: $75,059).
