Iowa Home Sales and Prices Continued to

Increase in September

CLIVE, IOWA (Oct. 17, 2011) – Home sales were up while prices decreased slightly throughout Iowa in September, according to the Iowa Association of Realtors®’a8 (IAR).

The IAR’s 2011 September Housing Trends Report shows the total number of homes sold in September was up 20.9 percent, with 501 more sales than last year at this time. IAR reports that 2,896 homes sold/closed in September 2011, while 2,395 homes sold/closed in September 2010.

According to the IAR, pending sales throughout the state last month were up 8.3 percent from the previous year, while new listings were down by 7.4 percent. IAR also reports there were 24,464 active residential listings across Iowa at the end of September.

The statewide average sale price decreased very slightly, down 1.7 percent from last year. The average sale price in Iowa was $144,026 in September 2011 and $146,525 in September 2010. “‘d2For buyers, the dream of home ownership still exists and now is the time to recognize that dream with historic record low interest rates and home pricing comparable to the early 2000’s,”’d3 says Kurt Schade. “‘d2For sellers, the po ol of buyers is typically lower this time of year. However, due to the uncertain future of our economy, it may ‘cost’ sellers more to wait than to sell now.”’d3 Average days on the market in September increased by 9.4 percent from last year. The average number of days on the market in September 2011 was 105, up 9 days from September 2010.

Thirty-six of the 44 local boards and reporting sites across Iowa reported increases in the number of sales and 23 boards reported increases in average sale price from September 2010. Fourteen boards showed a decrease in the average number of days on the market.

All real estate is local. IAR encourages interested buyers and sellers to contact a local Realtor®’a8 for more information on the market in their community. Realtors®’a8 are the number one voice for real estate and defender of home ownership. To find a local Realtor®’a8 visit SeeIowaHomes.com.

The IAR releases a Housing Trends Report each month. Data is collected from local Realtor®’a8 boards through their multiple listing service (MLS), which tracks sales activities in the board area. The IAR compiles all of the local bo ard data into the statewide report each month. The information used to create the August 2011 Housing Trends report was current as of October 10 at 10:00 a.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. Reports are available online to IAR members and affiliates with a login and password. Anyone is eligible to become an IAR affiliate.

Q&A

?Q.

Ask A Professional

Have a home question?

(Send your question to ldarr@messengernews.net) I have a stubborn stain, what is the recommended treatment?

A. The

material your stain is on will determine the mode of treatment.

Laminate tops are unfortunately the least resistant to certain stains. If no amount of counter top cleaner gets it out, it is probably there to stay.

Replacement of the area is your only recourse. If you are fortunate enough to have a solid surface material, then sanding the stain with a scotch bright pad will do the trick. Granite, quarts and other natural stone are virtually immune to stains.

?Q. A.

We have a sewer smell in our home. There are no apparent leaks and the drains are not leaking. The smell starts after a bath or late at night.

Plumbing fixtures have a water “trap” to prevent sewer gases from rising thru the fixture into the building. If a vent pipe is missing or plugged or poorly installed the water can be siphoned out of the trap. Filling the trap with water will stop the smell.

• Vents out the roof can be plugged by bird nests and rodents in the pipe or frost over in the winter.

• Vent pipe risers can be broken in the walls or drains lines split along the top of the pipe allowing the air out without leaking.

• Water in unused fixture traps will dry out.

?Q.What should be the thickness of a concrete sidewalk?

only has to be 4 inches thick, if it’s part of driveway-6 in. Adding rebar will help control the conrete from heaving.

A. A residential sidewalk

W WILLISON ILLISON

576-5115

A. If there is any way to change the slope of the roof

and use shingles or some other steep slope roofing materials that is the best option. If that doesn’t work, a rubber membrane roof is probably the best option.

There are Styrofoam panels that can be used to add slope to the roof prior to the installation of the rubber membrane. Even 3-4” of additional slope will help prevent further leaks.

Q&A

Ask A Professional

October was Fire Prevention Q. Since Month what steps do I need to take to protect my family in case of an emergency?

In the event of an emergency such as a fire in your home here are a few simple steps to talk with your family about: 1. Make sure everyone in the home knows where the fire extinguisher is located in the home and that they know how to use it.

2. Make sure that your family has an evacuation plan in place in the event of a fire, and practice it so you can use it in the event of an emergency.

3. Use your common sense when a fire happens, if the smoke is obstructing view don’t fight it GET OUT!! If the flames or the fire are taller than you don’t fight it GET OUT!!

4. Once you have evacuated the house account for everyone that was in the house and contact the fire department immediately!!

For more information feel free to contact us or check out the following website www.nfpa.org and click on the “Safety Information” tab.
