Weekly Real Estate Market Update Coralville March 1, 2010

207 Active Listings
37 Under Contract
5 Home Sold Feb 22 – Feb 27
8.2 Months of inventory on the market

An absorption rate of 8.2 months means Coralville remains a buyers market. Coralville does well with move-up buyers and there is a lot of buyer activity right now, so those repeat buyers looking to take advantage of the homebuyer tax credit may soon have a positive impact on the Coralville real estate market.

If you’re not familiar with the absorption rate, more than 6 months of inventory of homes on the market is a buyers market. 6 months of inventory of homes is considered neutral and less than 6 months a sellers market. For more info here’s a link to the first post I wrote including the absorption rate and an explanation of how it’s calculated.
