North Liberty real estate market report july 2010

51 homes sold in North Liberty in July 2010 compared to 130 homes sold in July 2009. Not exactly encouraging numbers of course. Not that surprising though either considering the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit at the end of June. If you’ve been following my market reports you will know that North Liberty home sales have been the best in the area. Hopefully we see some kind of return to normal in August. Not sure what “normal” is? You’re in good company… Economists are talking about the “new normal” – I think it’s going to take us a few months to figure out exactly what that is.

Average Price Homes Sold July 2010 $187,754
Highest Price Home Sold:$530,000
Lowest Price Home Sold:$65,500
Average Price Homes Sold July 2009 $159,797
Highest Price Home Sold:$413,771
Lowest Price Home Sold:$68,000


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 5.0 months of inventory on the market, that’s 151 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.

3 condos soldAvg Price: $140,100

It looks like July will be a soft month for sales. Not really surprising considering the expiration of the tax credit on June 30. It was clear that the housing market would need time to correct after that. A couple more days until the end of the month and we will know more about that correction.


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 so you can move onto the next phase of your life.
