It has to due to power grid issues. It's all over the US not just Iowa. The new regulations on the transformers have caused projects to be on hold because they can't use the ones, they had stockpiled. So there is a huge shortage of transformers and the ones that were slated for the projects are paper weights.

It's so bad. There's a house in my area going for $500k. It's a nice house but nowhere near that price tag. 2,000 sq/ft and the back side faces a couple of apartment buildings. Townhomes in this area are going for $350k.Add to that, more affordable housing. Everything they seem to be slinging up around the DSM metro and suburbs is starting around 350k, minimum.

Isn’t that wealthy people buying vacation homes?This shit can get out of hand quickly. Look at the housing prices in Montana metros
Having traveled to both Montana and Idaho in the past few years and only going by the "talk" of the locals that I met...it is more related to people moving there permanently, primarily from the west coast/California. Someone say selling their home in LA and then needing to spend that $$ on their next home finds that their dollars go a LONG WAYS in other states...driving up prices in the destination states.Isn’t that wealthy people buying vacation homes?
I only made it a few episodes into Yellowstone…
my coworkers rent is a couple hundred dollars than my mortgage and she has 1/3 the space.Costs are going way up due to a shortage. I really worry about the next generation being able to purchase homes. Renting is no way to go through life.

Housing has been growing faster than your population statewide.
People just don't want to live in the sticks as much.

We locked in our house in '21 under 3%. Free money. Taxes have gone up a lot in those 3 years, but still nothing compared to the skyrocketing rent in the Omaha metro.That just sucks for them. How can you get a head in life if you can't own? I know someone will point out NYC. Fine. This is Iowa. Not NYC or DC or SF or LA.
Why would you or anyone else think it's the States job to provide housing?I know a lot of states are utilizing measures like rezoning to make it easier to build new housing. What's Reynolds doing? Especially in cities, we have a big need for more housing.

This is by far not just an Iowa thing.I know a lot of states are utilizing measures like rezoning to make it easier to build new housing. What's Reynolds doing? Especially in cities, we have a big need for more housing.
This article is 5 years old, but it shows how cities have zoning laws that require builders to build these big houses. The cities want that big property tax bill. They don’t build the small 1500 square foot ranch houses anymore. There’s no money in that.Add to that, more affordable housing. Everything they seem to be slinging up around the DSM metro and suburbs is starting around 350k, minimum.
They need people there that can fill up the private schools.Add to that, more affordable housing. Everything they seem to be slinging up around the DSM metro and suburbs is starting around 350k, minimum.
The KC market is fooked. Our 50's mid-century modern bought seven years ago for $275k could be sold for about $475-$500k tomorrow. That is for just over 1,500 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms. Thank the lord I got wifey (no pic) to cool off on the idea of a larger house.
Blaming farmers again.Problem we are running into is farmers buying up land next to town and then not being willing to sell for a reasonable price which could buy 2-3 times more acres of land. Price out planned growth in town and then complaining about urban unplanned growth in the countryside.
Blaming farmers again.
We sold our house today. No inspection and no appraisal worries be cause the buyer has a huge down payment.We locked in our house in '21 under 3%. Free money. Taxes have gone up a lot in those 3 years, but still nothing compared to the skyrocketing rent in the Omaha metro.
Agreed that KC is fooked. I’ve been helping my SIL after my sister passed away. They’ve been in the same place for about 12 years. Low interest rate. SIL wants to upgrade and move with her influx of insurance money. I am adamantly telling her over and over that she will never get another house as nice for that price or the interest rate. Housing prices are crazy.The KC market is fooked. Our 50's mid-century modern bought seven years ago for $275k could be sold for about $475-$500k tomorrow.

But I really worry for my kids because I don’t know how they will ever get into the market like this. And that’s just in Omaha.
True statementin a lot of states, the governor (and the state government in general) has little to no control over zoning
It’s greed. Pigs get fed hogs slaughtered.Blaming farmers again.
Yeah, sadly the days of the smaller ranch style homes are a thing of the past. They'll keep saying, "well, people are buying these more expensive homes so we'll keep building them."This article is 5 years old, but it shows how cities have zoning laws that require builders to build these big houses. The cities want that big property tax bill. They don’t build the small 1500 square foot ranch houses anymore. There’s no money in that.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

1950s: The average new home sold for $82,098. It had 983 square feet of floor space and a household size of 3.37 people, or 292 square feet per person.It blows my mind to think about how so many large families, in the 50s and 60s, often lived in large homes on one income.
Are you sure the farmers are buying up all the land? Post Covid, corporations started buying up homes to get into the rental business.It’s greed. Pigs get fed hogs slaughtered.
