North Liberty Real Estate Market Report June 2010 Compared to June 2009

North Liberty real estate market report June 2010

109 homes sold in North Liberty in June 2010 compared to 80 homes sold in June 2009. That's an increase of 36% and not surprisingly the best in the area. What jumps out in the graph above is that condo sales have increased by almost 47% compared to last year! If you look at the numbers for Iowa City and Coralville you will see that condo sales are on the rise there too. We have a market saturated with condos so this is great to see.

Average Price Homes Sold June 2010 $166,248
Highest Price Home Sold: $535,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $69,000


Average Price Homes Sold June 2010 $177,087
Highest Price Home Sold: $530,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $90,000


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 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.

Denise, who do you suppose condos are selling in your market? In our market we see condo sales as much lower than small single family homes that might offer a yard and a garage. Interesting. Nice charts!

Hi Leslie ~ I think the main reason condos are selling in the Iowa City market has to do with the fact that we are a relocation destination. The 4 year cycle with the UIOWA and UI Hospitals translates into us having a bigger demand for condos than single family homes, mainly because of the large number of single people buying homes. We have a good number of med students, residents and parents buying for their student kids.  As soon as you start talking about families, then that's an entirely different subject and you're right, they're much more interested in single family homes. We just don't have as many of those. 

I'm seeing this trend as a really positive development. For a while there this group of people weren't buying. They're back. I'd say the others will follow in time. At least that's my take. I probably don't need to tell you that if you talk to 3 different people you will get 3 different answers to that question though. A bit like those economists I see on Bloomberg TV - It seems each one of them has a different take on things too!

Our June statistics just came out today. The bust that the experts were predicting for May and June, after the tax credit expired in April, just doesn't seem to be happening.

Imagine that Jim. Despite Chicken Little the sky hasn't fallen in!

On a more serious note. Greenspan and Warren Buffet are both famous for quotes about how fear drives the market. When people are fearful they don't buy. It seems fear is leaving the marketplace. That's a good thing as we can see.
