Here is what you need to know about the Cedar Valley's housing market.
1. Oakridge Recap: We are starting to see more activity in the market. In February, homes sold with an Oakridge Realtor sold for 2% MORE and 9 days FASTER when compared to the MLS (area) average.
2. Cedar Valley Inventory - Take a look at 2023 compared to 2019 inventory of homes! Compared to a normal year (prior to the pandemic), the Cedar Valley's housing inventory has not fully recovered to meet the demand of buyers in our community. If you are looking to sell your home, you are in a great position. Low inventory = more exposure for your home.
3. Active Listings: When looking at the active listings in Cedar Falls and Waterloo, take a look at the percentage of listings that are new construction vs existing homes. This can be a major benefit for those looking to buy or sell in the Cedar Valley. Buyers: Tired of waiting for the perfect existing home to come on the market? The current new construction inventory will allow you more options to choose from with less competition! Sellers: Having a home to sell right now is like gold! Near record lows of homes on the market and great buyer activity are helping sellers get top dollar. Your home could be the one buyers are waiting for!
