This week's pick is a small ranch home that buyers kept coming back to. It picked up 91 saves on Zillow, more than almost any other active listing this week. That is 2.8 times the average save count among this week's finalists. I am already sending alerts about it to buyers who watch Cedar Falls. A simple ranch home is pulling more attention than almost anything else on the market.

Why buyers keep clicking save

It is a ranch home with three bedrooms and one bath, finished with easy-care vinyl plank floors. A fenced backyard gives room to relax or let pets run, and a storage shed holds the tools and lawn gear. It sits in a settled neighborhood that works for a first home, a downsize, or a rental.

From the listing: “This charming ranch-style home is full of potential and offers the perfect opportunity for a first-time homebuyer, someone looking to downsize, or an investor ready to expand their rental portfolio.”
