392 homes sold in Iowa City in the 2nd quarter 2010 compared to 313 homes sold in the 2nd Qtr 2009 – That’s a 25% increase. The most interesting trend is that condos are making a comeback with a 62% increase over last year. That is excellent news, as we have a lot of those in the Iowa City area!

I don’t use the days on market calculated by the MLS. I use a simple method to calculate the absorption rate/days on market that doesn’t manipulate the data. According to that calculation we have  7.7 months of inventory on the market, that’s 232 days on market. I should add that this calculation does not take into account the different types of homes, location or different price ranges, so it’s not a huge help to you if you’re selling your home. If you’re selling a home both of those factors would need to be looked at as they play into how many days on market you can expect when you list your home for sale.
