“June is typically one of the top months in terms of sales each year. While sales are down from last June, we had a very busy market last summer. The current market is solid. The number of properties on the market is up slightly from a year ago. There continues to specific price ranges in each market that need more properties for sale for interested buyers. Single-family homes are selling in less than 60 days. There is still plenty of time to buy or sell your home and get settled before the fall,” stated John Goede, President of the Iowa Association of REALTORS®.
