Real Estate Market Trends North Liberty December 2016

Home Sales are on the rise in North Liberty in the 4th Quarter. The data for the year for the North Liberty Real Estate Market is mixed with home sales down 2.8% for the year with just a few weeks to go to break even with last year. 537 homes sold January – November 2016 compared to 553 homes sold January – November 2015. Single Family Home Sales are up for the year, while condo and zero lot sales are down. Home Prices in North Liberty are up and the average time on market for homes is low. With so much positive data the only reason for the lower home sales this year must have been a lack of inventory of homes on the market in the spring and early summer peak selling season when the most buyers were out looking for homes to buy in North Liberty.

Contract to Listing Ratio + Absorption Rate North Liberty

The absorption rate provides information on the turnover rate of homes in North Liberty. That calculation looks at sold listings and how long they took to sell. The average time on market in North Liberty is 2.2 months or 68 days on market. The contract to listing ratio looks at what is happening in “real time” and how many buyers are writing contracts. This calculation looks at homes contingent or pending that are waiting to close. Currently 26% of the homes listed on the Iowa City MLS are under contract. Both of these pieces of data show a strong real estate market in North Liberty with a low number for days on market and a quick turnover of homes.
