So, I went to Arkansas…
A weekend getaway anwhere was on the table. Adam invited me for a 4 day quick trip and said the magic words, “You pick.” I wanted a temperate climate with outdoor activities, charm and to feel rejuvenated. So, I chose....Arkansas. Nearly everyone I have shared this with expresses concern, befuddlement or something short of disdain but far from approval. Arkansas? Apparently it is not on people’s destination list. But it should be. Arkansas is AMAZING. Do not sleep on a quick trip there, it is truly a choose your own adventure.
FOUNTAIN IN HOT SPRIN G S, AR
I fell in love with Hot Springs. Architecture, art, Hot Springs National Park, water, fish, incredible dining, charm, bath houses, hot springs and a WILD history. And I mean wild. This place was Vegas before Vegas and the best part is it remains unchanged in the best ways.
Before I left for my trip, I did a quick search of the housing market for my investor and second home/retirement clients and was shocked at the values there. Trust me, take a peek. After you finish reading this, of course.
The peek for clients turned into a market deep dive and a Arkansas research project, and I sold myself on buying property there.
I didn’t even get to explore the rest of the state and all its offerings on my first trip, but I will return. So stay tuned, I will let you know if I have found a hidden gem and become a part time Razorback.

And don’t forget, if you or someone you care about are considering a second home or investment property, I can research markets for you and analyze the investment. Even more important, I can find you an agent I trust in any location so you have the right team in your corner.

Market Update - Insurance
New for 2024-Iowa has lost all but two property insurance companies leading a number of people to be dropped from insurance and many people to face increasing premiums. This is an after effect of the catastrophic weather like the floods and derecho increasing the risk facing these companies. If you need to talk insurance or a recommendation, give me a call, this is a good time to take stock of your policy.
Thank you for your trust, friendship and referrals.
With Breath and Gratitude,
