Iowa City Real Estate Market Report August 2010 compared to August 2009

Iowa City real estate market statistics August 2010

 

61 homes sold in Iowa City in August 2010 compared to 84 homes sold in August 2009. Not great numbers, but a significant improvement over July when the numbers were way down compared to 2009. 

Average Price Homes Sold August 2010 $175,195
Highest Price Home Sold: $510,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $  69,900



Average Price Homes Sold August 2009 $200,236
Highest Price Home Sold: $765,000
Lowest Price Home Sold: $  55,000


The source for the data used in all my market reports is from the Iowa City MLS. For the days on market/absorption rate I take numbers from the MLS and insert them into a simple Excel spread sheet to avoid manipulating the data.
According to that calculation we have  7.5 months of inventory on the market, that's 227 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 in Iowa City 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.


If you need to sell your home in Iowa City and would like me to prepare a CMA (Current Market Analysis) with information of homes sold in your neighborhood
please call me anytime at 319-400-0268 or click here to send me your contact details.

Where ever you are, that's where I'll be!

Your bar charts and pie charts have such pizzazz!  I'd love to know how you do that.

Thanks Marie-Denise, I get loads of compliments and it's so little work! I use an online site for them. Just google Create a Graph and presto it's the first result that comes back at you. Took me slightly longer to figure out how to enter the data for the bar chart than the pie chart, but now that I know the whole thing takes just a couple of minutes. Try it. If you have any problems email me and I'll point you in the right direction.
