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 285 days on market.
It’s going to take us a while to work through all the inventory in the Coralville market so we probably won’t see any major changes in the near term.

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 they’re looking for. Pristine homes that are priced right sell. It’s as easy as that.

An average of 289 days on market = 9.5 Months Absorption Rate (Number of months it takes for the market to “absorb” homes). The number of days on market is edging it’s way downwards again this week. Slow and steady the market continues to improve. We’re not out of the woods yet though, we still have a buyers market.

More homes than buyers in the market place + historically low interest rates = Opportunities for Buyers.


For sellers it’s a different story.
We have a price driven market. It’s important you have the facts about your neighborhood before you put your home on the market. Pricing it right will give you the edge on the competition and mean the difference between your home getting sold or languishing on the market.

9.6 Months Absorption Rate (Number of months it takes for the market to “absorb” homes)


Right now the absorption rate in Coralville is not looking good with a high 9.6 months of inventory on the market. Hopefully that changes in the coming months as buyers race to meet the April 30 deadline for an accepted offer for the homebuyer tax credit. On the up side, the number of homes under contract is on the rise and when they close that will impact the absorption rate.

8.8 Months of inventory on the market

An absorption rate of 8.8 months means Coralville remains a buyers market. Coralville does well with move-up buyers and there is a lot of buyer activity right now. The homes sold number is starting to tick upwards, so it looks like those repeat buyers taking 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.
