When it comes to calculating the days on market 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 5 months of inventory on the market, that’s 151 days on market.

What does this mean for you as a buyer?
We still have a price driven market so there are still great opportunities for buyers, plus the interest rates are at all time lows which means it’s really still a win-win situation for you.

The fact that we have a price driven market means that sellers probably won’t make as much as they would like on the sale of a home.
On the up side, the turnover rate for homes is better in North Liberty and it is likely that your home will spend less time on the market than in Iowa City or Coralville. (Depending on the location of course, location is always king). Bear in mind too that buyers are looking for deals. Pricing it right is one part of the equation. Equally important is that it’s in pristine condition. Pricing your home right + seeing to it that it’s the shiny penny on the block will put you well on the way to selling your home quickly.

North Liberty real estate market report 2nd Qtr 2010

236 homes sold in North Liberty in the 2nd Qtr 2010 compared to 175 homes sold in the 2nd Qtr 2009. That’s an increase of almost 35%. This is my sixth real estate market report this week and the thing that jumps out in all of them is that condo sales are on the rise. If you look at the numbers for Iowa City and Coralville you will see that condo sales are on the rise there too. Fantastic news considering we have lots of condos in our market!

Average Price Homes Sold 2nd Qtr 2010 $172,506
Highest Price Home Sold:$535,000
Lowest Price Home Sold:$69,000
Average Price Homes Sold 2nd Qtr 2009 $171,846
Highest Price Home Sold:$530,000
Lowest Price Home Sold:$75,000


When it comes to calculating the days on market I prefer not to use the numbers 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 4.3 months of inventory on the market, that’s 130 days on market. Much better than Iowa City and Coralville, although I would still hesitate to call it a sellers market, even though technically based on the absorption rate it is. The fact is that we have a price driven market. You probably have the opportunity to sell your home quicker in North Liberty, but only if you price it right. Market conditions in the last few years have lead to us seeing a rise in “value shoppers” and they’re not going away any time soon.

An average of 132 days on market = 4.3 Months Absorption Rate (Number of months it takes for the market to “absorb” homes). North Liberty has the strongest numbers in the area and continues to do better than Coralville or Iowa City when it comes to how long inventory stays on the market. 4.3 months is definitely trending towards a sellers market. In a price driven market North Liberty is certainly attracting the “value shopper.” It will be interesting to see how this develops in the coming months now that the homebuyer tax credit has expired.

An average of 138 days on market = 4.6 Months Absorption Rate (Number of months it takes for the market to “absorb” homes). North Liberty continues to do better than Coralville or Iowa City when it comes to how long inventory stays on the market. The Jury’s still out on whether or not this is a lasting trend. We’ll know more in the coming weeks and months when we get past the deadline for the home buyer tax credit.
