Selling a House in Iowa
Iowa has about 3,210,507 residents across 99 counties, and we buy houses in all of them. The median home value is about $208,000, below the U.S. median of $303,400, which makes the cost of repairs and a 5-6% commission a bigger share of what a seller walks away with. The largest communities we serve include Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport and Sioux City.
The typical Iowa home was built around 1972, so roughly half the housing stock is 54+ years old and often needs roof, plumbing or electrical work before it can sell on the open market. About 72% of households own their home and 28% rent (median rent $972/mo), so we buy owner-occupied houses, inherited properties and tenant-occupied rentals alike. Median household income is $75,059.
