This market snapshot takes a first look at home sales and home prices in Coralville for the year. Yesterday I looked at Iowa City and interestingly the trend in Coralville looks very similar. I’ve been doing these market reports for many years and it’s not always that way, which is why it’s worth mentioning. Coralville is a much smaller market than Iowa City and yet the trending indicators are all looking very similar in today’s report, compared to the one I did yesterday for Iowa City.
Getting down to the nitty gritty, home prices are up in Coralville, while home sales in Coralville are about even in 2017 compared to 2016, at least according to data on the MLS today. (This is a first look for the year and that might change as agents enter more sold listings into the MLS system after the Holidays). Homes in Coralville are moving fast too, with short market times. Buyers don’t have a lot of choices and that means opportunities for sellers who don’t have too much competition when they put their houses or condos on the market. This applies especially in the lower price ranges.
