North Liberty Iowa Real Estate Market Update February 2010
It's March already and time to look at home sales in February for the North Liberty area.
Surprisingly home sales are down compared to last year in the North Liberty area. 17 homes sold in February 2010 in comparison to 23 in February 2009.* I say surprisingly, because North Liberty is one of the fastest growing towns in Iowa and home sales are strong in the area. Check out my market report for the greater Iowa City area in 2009 and you'll see what I mean. You may also want to check my weekly market updates in the coming weeks, I'm sure we'll see this is just a glitch.
The median price of homes sold in February up at $160,000 compared to $135,900 in February 2009. That's an increase of 18%. The average days on market was 125 days, compared to 103 days on market last year.
North Liberty has benefited from the The homebuyer tax credit and now that some repeat buyers are also eligible it will certainly continue to have an effect on the North Liberty real estate market as we head towards spring. And remember, for this tax credit buyers need to have an accepted offer on a home by April 30, 2010, so this will mean a lively couple of months coming up in North Liberty.
