The time to buy hasn't faded. Most properties in the Des Moines have seen price reductions now that the first time buyer tax credit has gone away.

The real estate market has not slowed down just yet. We have one more day before contracts need to be written. Gitty up!

Watch the pending home sales go through the roof on the next report. We have seen a wave rush through the market.

In Ankeny we have 233 homes for sale under $200k & 112 pending. Looking good Ankeny. If you don't understand, comment.

In Altoona we have 58 single fam homes active for sale under $200,000 & 28 homes pending. Great numbers for Altoona!!!

More and more homes are selling. Homes sales up 34% from last March. Good news for all!!! Your Des Moines REALTOR Tim Scheib!

Real estate is a great business. When a buyer finds that right home you can see their eyes light up!
