Why Des Moines
What makes selling in Des Moines different
Des Moines is defined by growing suburbs on the edges while the older core neighborhoods turn over slowly. We know the neighborhoods here and buy older homes with original finishes through brand-new builds directly, as-is. Iowa's housing is largely older farmhouses, bungalows, and post-war homes, and winters are hard on roofs, basements, and foundations. Selling traditionally in a small Iowa market can mean months on the market. SilverCrest buys Iowa homes directly for cash — including flood-affected and long-vacant properties.
The typical Des Moines home is valued around $183,700, with a median build year of 1960 — so half the homes here are older than 1980 and often carry deferred maintenance a retail buyer's lender will flag. Owner-occupancy runs about 60.4%, across a city of roughly 212,464 residents, with median property taxes near $3,445 a year. Those figures come from the U.S. Census Bureau's ACS 2023 5-Year Estimates, and they are part of how we benchmark a direct cash offer on your Des Moines property.
- Basement, roof, and foundation issues are no problem
- No repairs and no commissions
- Close in about a week if you need to
