Coming This Week To Downtown Des Moines Blog
I want to give you a heads up to what we have been working on for you this week. If you haven’t been here much in the last week you’re probably alone. We had a huge surge in traffic last week. We had as many hits last week as it took 3/4 of September to achieve! Big, big jump–so thanks for sticking around!
For October here are our three most popular articles thus far. And they are the most popular this month by far.
So what’s in store this week? We’ve been working hard all week to have another overload of information for you. This week we will take a look at:
- Why downtown Des Moines is a buyers market (or why it should be)….
- Which was the ONLY property downtown to close on units in September…
- Which property sold 3 units in August (compared to 2 from Jan-July) after dropping over $80,000 from the price….
- More from the hottest property downtown….
- Continuing our interviews with 418 Liberty and Gateway Lofts….
- We will take a look at the property coming up for lease with a property manager that we’ve heard is impossible to reach….
- More pictures from a huge week downtown….
- Plus a few surprises so juicy we can’t possibly give you a heads up!
So keep your eyes peeled, and have some fun commenting on this stories. I’m sure you’ll find some that you agree with, and others that you can’t believe what you’re reading! Plus, who doesn’t love a good flame war?
Most of all we want you to know that we’re here to help you. We’re taking a more in-depth look at the downtown market over the next few weeks, and we’re going to shine a little light on things that many folks only interested in a commission won’t tell you. Purchasing a new home is a huge decision, and we want to help you by giving you the most powerful weapon of all, information.
It’s gonna be a great week, I can’t wait!
All the best!

Glad to hear of the upcoming posts, but I have to notice that this site leaning pretty heavily toward real estate. Don’t forget to keep including posts about the downtown lifestyle, too. Are there any upcoming events I should add to my calendar? New restaurants? Also, which downtown employers are hiring? Interested readers want to know!

Kim-
Right now we are a little real estate heavy, but don’t think that I’m only going to cover that. Lots of other things upcoming as well.
Thanks for reading!

Am I the only guy that thinks #1 Hater is pretty funny?
Thanks for all your hard work and making this site worth reading #1 Hater! Maybe it’d be even better if you wrote entire articles……

Thought it may be of interest to know that beginning next week, Splash on Locust will have a new Lobster tank and will begin serving fresh whole lobster grilled or boiled. This restaurant is phenomenal!!! Besides the lobster or the alaskin crab……I would highly recommend their vegetarian platter with jasmine rice…..$14.95…it’s absolutely incredible!!!

I wish # 1 Hater would write about how much he hates (which means loves to him) me! You haven’t been “hating” on my much lately and I am starting to feel a little jealous! You see, # 1 Hater and I have something in common - negative attention is better then NO attention! Right lamb chop? ;–)

Marcia if you haven’t noticed, I am the number 1 commenter and #1 hater. So I don’t have time to return all my fan mail. Being “the man” I get lots of attention from the ladies. Sometimes its unwanted (in your case). (look I’m not into grandmas)

Thank you - thank you - everyone! Thank you for your support and encouragement. I knew that one day the man of my dreams would come into my life - that today is that day! Special thanks goes out to you Josh, for providing us with this adorable site that has allowed # 1 Hate and myself to meet. If it hadn’t been for you, we might have never met - two ships passing each other by in the night. I just couldn’t be happier and I know # 1 Hater is too. (he is just a little shy about expressing himself) (isn’t that so adorable!)
