The Coralville real estate market is continues to be pretty slow. We still have the winning combination of more homes than buyers in the market place + historically low interest rates. In fact they’re lower than ever – 4.25% for a 30 year fixed rate loan! As I’ve said before, beats me why the market isn’t a total frenzy with such lucrative times for buyers. If you’re still on the fence about buying a home in Coralville, I know you’ve heard it before, but this is an astoundingly good time to buy a home. This particular set of conditions won’t last forever. If there was ever a time to get into the game it is now!

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 9.4 months of inventory on the market, that’s 286 days on market.
A few months ago we had 11 months of inventory, at the moment it’s holding steady around 9 months. It’s heading the right way. We just need some time to work through all the homes on the market in Coralville.

So what does all this mean if you’re thinking of buying a home in Coralville?
No change really. We’ve been saying it for a while now. It’s a great market to buy a home. The winning combination of more homes than buyers in the market place + historically low interest rates means opportunities for Buyers.

For sellers it’s a different story.
We have a price driven market and buyers are looking for deals. They’re also looking for shiny pennies. The winning combination for you is to price your home right + make sure it’s the shiny penny buyers are looking for. Pristine homes that are priced correctly for the market will sell. It’s as easy as that.

Coralville Real Estate Market Report July 2010

coralville real estate market report july 2010

26 homes sold in Coralville in July 2010 compared to 60 homes sold in July 2009. Not a huge surprise to see this dip in home sales after the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit at the end of June. Let’s hope it was just a glitch and we see some stronger sales in August.

Average Price Homes Sold July 2010 $215,665
Highest Price Home Sold: $635,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $52,000


Average Price Homes Sold July 2010 $215,519
Highest Price Home Sold: $620,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $61,500




As far as the days on market are concerned. 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 9.4 months of inventory on the market, that’s 283 days on market. 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 you would need to look at the number of homes sold in your specific neighborhood in the same price range to figure out how many days on market you can expect when you list your home for sale.

Homes Sold in Coralville Week Ending July 24, 2010

6 homes sold in Coralville last week. This number is lower than last year when 15 homes sold in the same time period. According to MLS Data days on market also increased from 88 to 138.

5 single family homes sold Avg Price: $279,600
1 condo sold Avg Price: $94,000



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.

156 homes sold in the 2nd quarter 2010 compared to 114 homes sold in the 2nd quarter 2009. That’s an increase of almost 37%. Just like my market report for Iowa City yesterday what jumps out is the number of condos sold. 42 condos sold in Coralville in the 2nd qtr this year compared to 25 in the same time period in 2009. That’s a 92% increase! Even better than Iowa City where condo sales rose 62% compared to last year. I’m going to be really interested to see what happens when I pull the North Liberty numbers later… Watch out for my next blog post for that.


Average Price Homes Sold 2nd Qtr 2010: $214,238
Highest Price Home Sold: $740,000

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 9 months of inventory on the market, that’s 272 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.

82 homes sold in Coralville in June 2010 compared to 69 homes sold in June 2009. That’s an increase of 19%. What jumps out in the graph above is that condo sales have increased by a pretty impressive 62% over last year! Yesterday I pulled the number of Homes sold in the 2nd quarter in Iowa City from our MLS and if you check the link you will see that condo sales are also on the rise there. We have a lot of condos in the area so this is really great news.
