Housing Trends in Iowa City: Homes Sold January – October 2013

Housing trends in Iowa City: How’s the real estate market really doing? Today I’m looking at the numbers for the year to date. (January through October 2013). 892 homes sold in Iowa City January through October 2013 compared to 793 in the same time period last year. That’s an increase of 12% . There’s also an increase of 8% in the average price of a home and a 13% rise in the median price of a single family home.  Perhaps the best news is that condo sales are up by 16% for the year. Condos were hit hardest in the down turn and the rise in condo sales is a sure sign that the Iowa City real estate market is on the right track.
