Welcome! Here You Can Find Great Information on Ames, Nevada and Boone, Iowa Real Estate, Homes and Property for Sale 

 

Homes in Ames IA and the neighboring towns of Boone and Nevada Iowa are popular these days, and for good reason. The area is one that has been experiencing quite a bit of controlled growth recently, thanks to the beautiful surroundings and small town feel. Despite the fact that the area is actually a good size, with over 50,000 residents in Ames alone, it still carries that familiarity so common in smaller communities.

Whether you're moving to Iowa for the first time or are considering a move to this incredible scenic backdrop from a neighboring city, our experienced realtors are poised to help you make a Story County real estate purchase to last a lifetime.

Story County Real Estate Offers Proximity

All three of our focus areas, Boone, Nevada, and Ames, are located near Des Moines. The three small towns are connected to each other and to Des Moines by rail, a common sight around here. There are two different railway lines in the area, plus the Scenic Valley railroad in Ames, which is designed to give tourists a little view of the surrounding area.

Each town has its own fun activities to do, but you'll find that there is no huge stadium or massive shopping mall here. The fun is strictly community-style, with national parks for picnicking, a well-used bowling alley, and a community theater. The area is packed with fun festivals and celebrations that you can only find in a small town. This uniqueness really makes this part of Iowa a great place to purchase a new home, particularly if you want to enjoy the community fun while maintaining ties to nearby Des Moines.

Real Estate Info for IA Buyers

The main advantage for buyers, whether they choose Boone homes or decide to live in one of the other small towns in the area, is the small-town security. The crime rate in these towns is one of the lowest in the nation, and community activities are the center of rural life. Of course, if privacy is more your ideal, there are plenty of homes in Ames IA and the surrounding area with acreage and seclusion.

It is the ideal time to start investing in real estate in the Iowa countryside. Choosing an area like Story County, which is poised for growth and expansion, is a great way to find the home of your dreams while keeping an eye on the future market





Real Estate Tips

First Time Buyers >A Matter of Timing

Buying real estate can sometimes involve tricky timing. For example, you may have found the perfect house and are thinking about making an offer, but are feeling pressured to make a decision just when you want time to consider the matter. The agent tells you that another party is thinking about making an offer, so you shouldn't hesitate if you really want the house. What should you do? Trust your agent!

It is natural to feel some pressure from even the most easy-going real estate agent--and some uncertainty about making an offer. If you really like a house, there is always the possibility that someone else will share your enthusiasm for it. Whether your local market is active or sluggish, it is sensible to assume that another offer is likely to come in. Perhaps you can afford to "sleep on it", but moving as quickly as possible will minimize the possibility that the house will go to another buyer.
