Why This Home

Seven Reasons Buyers Choose 934 2nd Street

🏗️

Built in 2017

Nine years old means the roof, HVAC, windows, and systems all still have the majority of their service life ahead of them. You are not buying someone else's deferred maintenance.

🏠

Three Finished Levels

Most homes in this price range stop at two floors. The finished basement suite gives you a fourth bedroom, a third full bathroom, and space that most $399K homes simply do not have.

No HOA

No monthly fees, no rules about what you park in the driveway, no approval board for your landscaping. HOA fees in this region average $200 to $400 per month. That is $0 here.

🍳

Appliances Included

Refrigerator, range, dishwasher, microwave, washer, and dryer all stay with the home. That is $3,000 to $6,000 in appliances already in place on day one.

📐

$179 Per Sq Ft

New construction in Iowa runs $175 to $225 per square foot without land or landscaping. Here you get the land, the finishes, and an established neighborhood for the same number.

🏫

Jesup Schools, Between Two Metro Areas

Jesup Community School District with genuine small-town feel, and Waterloo/Cedar Falls 20 minutes north plus Cedar Rapids 35 minutes south. People who live here work in both directions. Most towns make you pick one metro. Jesup gives you two.

💰

Fairly Priced vs. Assessment

At $179 per square foot, this home is priced competitively for a 2017 build with a finished basement and no HOA. New construction in Iowa runs $175 to $225 per square foot without land or landscaping already included.

🌐

Hardwired Internet in Every Room

CAT5 ethernet is run to every room except the bathrooms. Plug in TVs, gaming systems, and home office setups directly. No dead zones, no buffering, no depending on wireless signal through three floors.

🪵

12x12 Composite Deck

Composite material means no annual staining, no rot, and no splinters. It looks good and stays that way. Off the back of the home with open yard space beyond it.

The Schmit family is actively purchasing a new home and ready to close quickly. Quick-close buyers can negotiate with confidence. There is no agent in the middle slowing things down.

📞

Direct to Owner

Call or text (319) 429-1724 and you reach the owner directly. No agent, no waiting for callbacks through a third party. Questions get real answers from someone who actually knows this home.

Chicago runs about 4 hours 30 minutes east. Kansas City is 4 hours south. St. Louis is 5 hours south. For business travel, family visits, or long weekends, none of those trips require a flight.

We are ready to sell and we know our home well enough to represent it ourselves. Selling without an agent means we can be more flexible on price, close faster, and have direct conversations with buyers without a third party in the middle. If you have a buyer's agent, we are open to that too. Call us at (319) 429-1724 and we will work it out.
We prefer a quick close. For a cash buyer or a buyer with a pre-approval letter already in hand, we can target 21 to 30 days from accepted offer to keys. We are flexible on possession date if you need a little more time. This is negotiable. Call us directly and we can talk through timing.
Yes. The basement is fully finished with a 4th bedroom (egress window per code), a 3rd full bathroom, and open living space. It is not storage with a fresh coat of paint. It is a complete functional floor. Come see it in person and you will understand why it changes the math on this home's value.
We are motivated sellers and we will look at any serious offer. We will not accept an offer that does not reflect the home's real value, but we are open to conversations about terms, seller credits, closing cost contributions, and timing. Call us at (319) 429-1724 and let's talk.
