Iowa State Fair 2025 Concert Lineup, RAGBRAI Overnight Towns, & How Long It Really Takes to Buy a Home in Iowa
On this week’s episode of The Scoop Around the Loop, Thomas, Dani, and Tyler break down three of Iowa’s favorite summertime obsessions: the 2025 Iowa State Fair concert lineup, the RAGBRAI overnight towns, and the real, start-to-finish timeline to buy a home in Iowa (including how fast you can actually get pre-approved and the most showings we’ve ever done for a single client—spoiler: 75).
We kick things off with who we’re most excited to see on the Grandstand stage—Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Pitbull, T-Pain, Parker McCollum, Forrest Frank, Rascal Flatts, Hairball, Hank Williams Jr., and KIDZ BOP all make an appearance in our convo—then pivot to this year’s RAGBRAI route and its overnight towns, sharing fun facts, local color, humidity warnings, and why this is one of the best weeks of the year to explore small-town Iowa.
Finally, we go deep on “How long does it take to buy a house?” From that first “maybe we should” conversation, to pre-approval (sometimes a day if you’re on top of it), to actively shopping (often a month), and what planning six months ahead can do for your stress level—we map out the whole process and drop practical advice you can use right now.
