Oakridge Monthly Recap

The Cedar Valley market continues to be busy with our team completing 107 transactions in September! When it comes to getting your home sold you can rely on our team of trusted Realtors. In September homes listed by an Oakridge Agent sold for an average 100% of their list price and sold in an average of 19 days. That is 1.2% MORE and 5 days faster than the MLS average. Our MLS is the Northeast Iowa region consisting of 107 offices and 800+ Realtors. 

Inventory levels in the Cedar Valley continue to stay well under the needed level to support the need for homes in our community. As a buyer, it is vital to have a strong game plan and a trusted Realtor on your side to make a strong offer when you are ready to put  in an offer. As a seller, there continues to be a desire for homes that could present opportunities you didn't know existed. In today's market pricing your home is what will make the difference in getting your home sold and getting your home sold fast.
