Iowa – State Spotlight
Inlanta Mortgage is privileged to have mortgage branches in a number of states – including the great state of Iowa. Iowa was recently spotlighted in the February 2012 issue of the Scotsman Guide, and for good reason. We would like to reiterate some of the facts discussed in that issue…and perhaps add a little more.
According to the Scotsman Guide, Iowa is currently ranked seventh in the nation for personal income and is regarded as one of the five best-run states in the U.S. According to the Iowa Association of Realtors, the housing market in Iowa is picking up, average home sales prices are showing signs of recovery and
year-over-year closed home sales have increased. Furthermore, mortgage delinquencies in Iowa have declined and are well below the national delinquency rate of 7.99 percent. In addition, unemployment in Iowa is the 8th lowest in the country.
Other fantastic facts about the Hawkeye State include:
- Iowa is ranked the nation’s 2nd-most livable state based on 43 factors ranging from median household income to crime rate and from sunny days to infant mortality rate
