Two months on the books for Home Sales in Coralville already and the data tells an interesting story. Home Sales were up in January and down in February. Those are just two of the market indicators and don’t provide the bigger picture. Both single family homes and condos have a short market time with an average of under 30 days on market and that tells us homes are selling fast. So fast that buyers are having trouble finding houses and condos to buy in the most popular price ranges. Add to that the fact that currently there are just 94 homes listed as active on the MLS and 59 contingent or pending, it’s easy to see there is plenty of activity in the Coralville real estate market. Everything would be great if there were just more houses and condos available for the many home buyers out looking for a home to buy right now!
