Real Estate Market Trends Coralville March 2015

March was an excellent month for home sales in Coralville. 25 homes sold in March 2015 compared to 7 in March 2014. When you look at the chart below you can see that home sales are up in a big way in March after slightly higher home sales in January and February. Altogether the 1st quarter of 2015 shows a very impressive start to the year with home sales up for the quarter by more than 92%!

The absorption rate and the contract to listing ratio both do a good job of confirming just how strong the Coralville real estate market is. The absorption rate shows the rate the market “absorbs” homes and with an average time on market of 3.4 months or 104 days the real estate market in Coralville is in good shape. That’s slightly higher than last month, but with the increase in the number of homes coming on the market for spring that’s hardly surprising. The number of homes under contract is also impressive with 44% of homes listed showing as contingent or pending on the Iowa City MLS. That number confirms that there are a lot of buyers out and about writing offers!

It seems almost redundant to say it, but I’ll say it anyway. As the weather warms up the busy market will get even busier offering more opportunities for sellers in what is already a sellers market.
