How Property Scan builds a CMA in Iowa

  1. You send the address. By email to comps@propertyscan.ai, on the website, or in Claude or ChatGPT, for a home in any of Iowa's 99 counties.

  2. It pulls the recorded sales nearby. In Iowa, each sale goes on file with the county recorder.

  3. It picks the comps and adjusts each one. For market time it uses the FHFA House Price Index for Iowa, which rose 2.2% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).

  4. You get a client-ready PDF. Your name, photo and brokerage go on it as “Prepared by”, every adjustment is shown, and you can swap any comp.

Is Iowa a non-disclosure state?

No. Iowa sale prices are public record. When a deed is recorded, a buyer or seller files a declaration of value with the county recorder, and it 'shall state the full consideration paid.' The recorder passes it to the city or county assessor for the state's sales study, and the transfer tax on the deed is figured from the price.

Iowa real estate transfer tax

Real estate transfer tax: 'eighty cents for each five hundred dollars or fractional part of five hundred dollars in excess of five hundred dollars' (when there is consideration and the value is over $500). Iowa Code § 428A.1
