Des Moines - High National Ratings


Des Moines has received national notice as a great place to livem, work and to buy a home. MSN Real Estate ranked Des Moines as the number one "Most Liveable Bargain Market" in 2009. This magazine calles our fair city one of the best and most overlooked places to jump-start your career. It states that our "economy is solid, with a large number of well-paying jobs in the insurance, bioscience and agribusiness fields. Yet the median house price is just $150.000. That's a great endoresment!

Forbes magazine identified the top 100 "Best Bang-For-The-Buck" Cities in the U.S. They recognized Des Moines as No. 4 on this list (Omaha was No. 1). This magazine says "low unemployment, few vacancies and a promising home price forecast, the real estate market shows signs of robustness. That make it possible for budget-conscious buyer to get in the door." It also gives credit to a stable housing market, reasonable property taxes and easy commute to work. Robust - don't you love that adjective for our city?
