Rose Green is an experienced Des Moines metro agent, having purchased or sold over $50 million in homes or rental properties for hundreds of individuals, families and investors. She gained valuable insight as a Realtor in Chicago during the housing boom and Great Recession - all of which informs her perspective on the current Des Moines market. Some of her key thoughts:
- Unlike the coastal real estate markets, the Des Moines metro market is far less volatile. And the overall conditions differ from 2006. I don’t see the same catalysts that drove the problem. We currently have better lending practices, and checks and balances in place. National headlines don’t wholly reflect our local conditions.
- I am finding the 2023 Des Moines real estate market to be influenced by national economic forces like inflation and interest rates, but ultimately driven by local factors, such as inventory of homes and expectations of sellers. Each home will weather this market differently based on price, condition and location/neighborhood.
- This market can provide great opportunities; you just need to know how to navigate it properly.
Rose is optimistic about the 2023 real estate market stabilization and confidently provides recommendations using the most current local and national information. She has worked to build a knowledgeable service team to ensure her clients success in this market, and she recommends several local mortgage lenders that have financing strategies and lending options to help both buyers and sellers achieve their goals in this relatively higher interest rate environment.
Finally, Rose is more than your buying or selling agent; she’s built a reputation as a local concierge on all things related to owning a home and living in the Des Moines metro. You can count on her to support you for just about anything, much beyond your transaction.
