Small Town Living At Its Best!!!

Swain Realty is located in the small town of Woodbine, IA. Woodbine is 50 miles Northeast of Omaha NE, which is just perfect for a daily commute to work. Woodbine is located in the heart of the Loess(Luss) Hills which are unique and only found in Iowa and China. Highway 30 runs through the heart of Woodbine bringing much commerce to the area. The Union Pacific and Illinois Central Railroad lines run through through this great town. Some of its greatest attractions include part of the original, historic Lincoln Highway, and the annual Apple Festival which is held every fall. The Old brick buildings of downtown Woodbine bring a sort of Norman Rockwell feeling to this old town.

Now that you know a little about this great town why not see what it has to offer...

2008 Year in Review

What an exciting year for us here at Swain Realty selling over 4000 acres of farmland at an ever increasing record-setting prices per acre. We were fortunate to finish our land auctions in September before the freefall in commodities. I attend land acutions on a weekly basis and it appears to me that the decline in values has been about 10- 20%. Some examples are a 45 CSR farm bringing $3200 after land about 2 miles away brought $3800 in September. There also was a comparable tract selling on auction at $3410, but it had an irrigation system. Another comp. brought $3000 per acre. The fact is though, land is still selling very high with a lot of 1031 investors and neighbors still in the market after a great year on the farm. Most everyone was surprised about the price drop in corn........It is still near $4 today. Not long ago I thought that was an excellent price. Fertilizer and fuel prices are the next items to freefall or we are going to be in trouble with profits on the land.

2009 Remarks

As I have always said in the past, "The time to buy land is when you can handle it. I don't see the price falling very fast when you still have record profits on the land and many investors who do not have faith in the stock market, or the low CD rates. We are currently looking at several parcels of land for auction in the spring. If you have land to sell, give us a call for a no obligation market analysis. Just remember to sell your land by auction to bring the buyers to the table and get a fair market value for your property. You will be happy with our services....

Thank you.
