Iowa

Iowa joined the nation as the 29th state in 1846, and since then has grown to become the home of almost 3 million residents, which in the past have included John Wayne, Ann Landers, and Buffalo Bill Cody.

Today, Iowa retains its appeal as a place to live and work. The crime risk is low (84 on an index where 100 represents the national average), and the state offers many charming old dwellings (average age of a home in Iowa is 41 years). 2004 was an unprecedented year in real estate for Iowa, and 2005 promises to be nearly as good. The average Iowa home during 2004 sold for between $100,000 and $200,000. Homes continue to appreciate steadily, providing residents and prospective residents with a good investment opportunity.
