This indicates that there has been a steady increase in home values over the past few years in West Point.

One factor that may contribute to this increase in home values is that West Point has a low unemployment rate and a high level of education attainment. These factors may lead potential buyers to believe that homes in West Point are worth more than they actually are. Additionally, there are relatively few foreclosures or short sales in West Point which may also contribute to higher home values.

Despite these positive trends, it is important to keep in mind that not all areas of Iowa have seen increases in home prices as rapidly as West Point has over the past few years. For example, Sioux City has seen an average increase of only 2% since 2009 while Ames has seen an average increase of only 1%. This suggests that while prices have increased significantly throughout much of Iowa over this period of time, not every area has experienced such a dramatic rise.
