2015 Des Moines Real Estate Market In Review
So Long 2015 and Welcome 2016!!
This months report reflects back on home sale activity from last year and where we are headed in 2016 now that we have 31 days under our belt.
2015 was a year to remember but it may also be a year to repeat. A shortage of homes for sale and buyers that were out in full force caused supply to drop as demand surged. Economics 101 teaches us that low supply and high demand drives prices upward. View the entire 2015 year end report by clicking the graphic above for a web magazine view.
