Number of sales went from 921 down to 600. That's a 35% decrease in activity.

Average list went up from $155,026 to $161,033. That's a 4% increase.

Average sold price went up from $150,794 to $156,927. That's a 4% increase as well.

The average list to sale percentage barely changed from 97.27% to 97.45%.

The average days on market barely changed from 63 days to 65 days.

What does this all this information really telling us about the current market? It does not mean that your property has gone up in value. The average price of the homes that people have bought has gone up. It does tell us that the people selling their homes that were the most realistic about the value, and listed it accordingly, are the ones that were rewarded with a sale. With 35% fewer buyers out there this year and almost 1,000 residential listings in Eastern Iowa, it is imperative that the proper listing price is established.

If you are serious about selling your home, or are looking to invest in our market, call the professional with over 30 years experience in real estate sales and investing.

I currently have 4 listings under contract that went pending after an average of only 36 Days!

My proven marketing system can work for you as well.
