Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Homes in South Iowa City are moving at a moderate clip in this rolling three-month view, with a median of 26 days on market, down sharply from 54 days a year ago but longer than the 16 days seen in early summer. This faster year-over-year pace, combined with only 1 month of supply compared with 3.3 months last year, points to tighter conditions for buyers and firmer leverage for sellers. By contrast, the broader Iowa City market is looser, with 2.3 months of supply, underscoring how inventory in South Iowa City has thinned more dramatically.
Prices have edged higher over the past year even as the speed of sales has changed. The typical home value over the latest three months is up about 4 percent year over year, while the median list price is only slightly higher than a year ago, suggesting sellers are not stretching asking prices as aggressively. Compared with the city overall, where the median sale price has declined year over year, South Iowa City has held pricing better.
Sales activity has been lively despite lower inventory. Homes sold are up more than a third from a year ago, and pending sales have jumped by roughly two-thirds, indicating solid buyer demand pushing through limited supply. At the same time, active listings are down by more than a quarter year over year, and only about 30 percent of homes are selling above list with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent, so careful pricing still matters. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these tight yet price-sensitive conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the South Iowa City market dynamics.

“As a first time home buyer if i had to do it again, I wouldn't pick anyone else to help me through one of the most important decisions of my life. Kelly held my hand through the whole process, I could not ask more from a realtor. The way she broke down everything so i could understand how the process would go. Was available for all my questions and concerns but most of all the ease of the process. I have heard house buying can be stressful but not for me and thats all thanks to that amazing lady named Kelly! Your the best”
“Jon was very helpful with everything this was my first time purchasing a home and he made it very smooth!!”
“We have worked with Mallori before and wouldnt have it any other way. She is amazing at her job and goes above and beyond for her clients. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jen Putnam Dvorak on the purchase of our new property. The process was handled professionally, with attention to detail and great communication. We would highly recomend her services.”
“Roxanne did an awesome job through the whole process of searching for and buying a house. She was very responsive, kind, patient, gave great advice, and went above and beyond to help us!”
“She was great, did a outstanding job helping us buy our first home, especially since I barley new what I was doing she helped with everything pointed us in the right direction on certain things helped us understand what we doing and was very patient while looked at quite a few homes in different towns we highly recommend her and her team”
“Hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. Matt truly cares that his clients find what they're actually looking for, not just closing a sale. On the buying side, he was great at pointing out concerning items during showings, and he was especially valuable during our blue tape walkthrough on our new house. He was clearly on our side the whole time and helped keep communication with the builder clear and moving. He also did a fantastic job selling our previous home. Matt is professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and we'll be calling him again next time.”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”
“Justin was very helpful and always on top of getting documents sent, answering questions, finding listings and more. He was very polite and always on time.”
“Matt did a great job on selling my property. The advertising was excellent and didn't need to lower the price”
“I cannot recommend Kathy Miller with RE/MAX Precision highly enough. I live 3,000 miles away from my 87-year-old parents and was devastated that I couldn't be there in person to help them sell their long-time (40 years!) home and purchase a new one—a monumental task in itself! Kathy didn't just act as their realtor; she became a trusted protector and guide. She took the time to explain every detail patiently to them both, kept me informed across time zones, and handled both transactions with incredible grace and professionalism. Kathy went above and beyond by helping them downsize—even sitting down with them to gently suggest what furniture to take to the new house and what to sell. From beautifully presenting their home and connecting them with movers for the heavy lifting, to conquering big, last-minute details, Kathy was there every step of the way—sharing in their excitement through all the hard work. Knowing my parents were in such safe, ethical, and capable hands gave our entire family complete peace of mind. If you want an agent who delivers flawless results, look no further.”
“Ryan is, above all else, kind and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and about the community he lives in. He thinks about the impact of his decisions, and he has never treated real estate like it's just another transaction. I've worked with Ryan through several transactions and have watched him repeatedly make decisions that meant less profit for himself because doing the right thing mattered more. That's not something you see every day, and it's one of the reasons I trust him so deeply. I've also seen him go far beyond what anyone would expect of a realtor—helping clients and community members in ways that have nothing to do with making a sale. He shows up for people simply because it's who he is. Ryan is truly good. He's a gift to his clients and to our community. People trust him because he leads with empathy, integrity, and a genuine desire to leave people better than he found them. If you have the chance to work with him, I can't recommend him highly enough.”
“Mike did an excellent job helping us with the purchase of our home. The process was made smooth and easy with his experience and professionalism. He was understanding and made sure we knew and understood all of the steps being taken.”
“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”
“Paul is amazing, he is very knowledgeable and knows what to look out for in buying a good home. He is down to earth and easy to talk with making sure I understand everything clearly. He is not your everyday realtor, he will go above and beyond to help you! I trust Paul with all my questions on selling and buying a home.”
“Troy is simply a superb realtor....his extensive knowledge and experience cover all facets of the market and home ownership. His understanding of local markets is unmatched blended with the highest standards of professional integrity. He is a clear communicator and remains exceptionally calm under pressure coupled with his honest, caring approach to all aspects of the process of purchasing a home. Look no further. He's your realtor.”
“Bianca did an amazing job with the sale of our home and purchasing a new home. She answered all our questions that came up during both buying and selling! She was patient with our search to make sure we found the right one!”
“He did an outstanding job for just starting in the business. He sold my house in under a month of being on the market. He then helped me search the surrounding area to find my current home.”
“Chelsi and her team were a true delight to work with! From beginning to end they remained incredibly kind, professional and promptly answered all of our questions and concerns thoroughly. TRULY A 5 STAR AGENT! Any buyer or seller would be lucky to have them in their corner.”
