Why it's Great to be Here in Iowa

As one of mid-Iowa's oldest real estate and property management companies, we love to see Iowa getting the attention it deserves.  In recent years more and more people have started realizing why buying and selling property in central Iowa is such a great choice.

• CNN Money (2010) ranked Ames as the 9th best place to live in the nation.  

• US Money listed Ames on their 'best places to retire' list.  

• In addition, Ames has been listed among some of 'the best emerging metro areas' and high on the list of 'the best green cities' in America, ranking #12 and #39, respectively.

• Iowa even has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation! (6th lowest)

• The graph on the left shows average house listing price vs. per capita income for each of the fifty states.  Iowa is the red dot along the bottom.  In this case, being at the bottom is where you want to be!  Iowa's position means that we have the best value for those looking to buy a home, because our per capita income is right in the middle of the nation, but our home prices tend to be lower (2nd lowest in the nation).  If you're looking to buy or sell a home in Iowa, this means the odds and the money are both stacked in your favor!

All this and more contribute to why Iowa is the place to be.  Whether you're buying or selling a home, Triplett makes it easy to join in the fun and experience why everyone agrees central Iowa is great!
