Nicole Strom - Realtor

Congratulations to the new Ankeny homeowners! 🎉🏡

We were able to snag this home when it went on the market Saturday night and we were the first ones in to look Sunday morning.

It was a pleasure helping you find your perfect home. Here's to new beginnings and countless happy memories! 🥂

Congratulations to Beau on closing on his first home!✨

After losing out in a multiple offer situation, we were able to secure the perfect home right outside of Ankeny, even beating out an all cash offer.🔑

During the escrow process Iowa unfortunately had some rough weather and a tree fell on top of the roof of his home. But guess what- Beau got a BRAND 30 year roof which was something we were originally worried about during the inspection process.

Wishing you endless memories in your beautiful new home🏠

POV: You are moving to Ankeny from out of state and need an expert to show you around and help you find your DREAM home!🥰

As a local Realtor with over 20 years of living in Ankeny, I will show you every neighborhood, give you pricing statistics on your favorite home, educate you on builders and help with what to avoid. 🔑

Just Imagine:
We spend the day looking at new construction homes in the NE Neighborhood of Harvey Ridge, resale properties in Boulder Brook, Briarwood and Camden Woods then we finish off the day walking around the Prairie Trail Neighborhood!🏠

You leave with a solid grasp on where you want to land and have a list of all the properties and areas!😀

This is my normal practice and I got to spend the day doing that.

Give me a call if you are considering moving to Ankeny, I would love to help!📲

Great Event!

We are extremely thankful for all women, especially our very own AREG girl gang! Happy International Women's Day! ✨❤️

We Moved! - Ankeny Real Estate Group: LPT Realty We recently made the move to LPT Realty to work alongside motivated, hard-working and great people in our real estate market. The support we have had so far ...

Today was the YPN Market Update for the 2023 year in real estate.

Here are a couple facts that surprised me:

-24% of homes went back on the market, that's almost a quarter of homes! When your agent tells you that a home might come back around, it's true!

-Your home appreciated 4.2% in 2023, compared to 5.9% in 2022 and 13% in 2021

-99% of homes in Iowa were sold in Polk County and the nearest surrounding 17 counties

-Mortgage rates reached an all time low in 2021, rates are now sitting at 6.5% which is more similar to the early 2000's. Imagine being in the 1980's with a 12.8%

-It was almost equal in terms of homes sold that were vacant vs. occupied (Iowa has a lot of new construction, so that is factored in)
