“Isaiah was integral in the purchase of my first home. As a first-time homebuyer, I was overwhelmed with all the options and choices out there. Isaiah was extremely helpful in understanding my non-negotiables and wants for my house, and compiled a great list of options that helped narrow down my search! He was readily available, quick to respond to any questions I had, and made any necessary communication with other parties during the process. My home buying process went as smoothly as it could've, and I thank Isaiah for that!”

Urbana real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Urbana real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in Urbana is limited, with just 4 homes available and only 1 new listing in February 2026. Buyers are moving on what does appear, shown by 1 pending sale and a median of 27 days on market. With a market gauge of 40 and conditions labeled a seller's market, well-priced homes tend to draw attention.
Pricing is adjusting alongside this tight supply. The typical home value is about $195,000, slightly below Benton County’s $201,500, and the median list price sits near $189,900. Month over month, typical values have moved down an estimated 27.64 percent, while list prices have edged lower by about 1.33 percent, suggesting sellers are testing the market carefully rather than cutting sharply.
Signals within listings show buyers have some room to negotiate. About 25 percent of homes had a price drop, and the average sale-to-list ratio is roughly 0.98, with no recent sales closing above list price. Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected around $157,750 and median list prices near $188,625, with inventory expected to stay close to 4 homes, so both sides may see relatively stable options. Whether you are a buyer trying to time your offer or a seller deciding how to price in this environment, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands Urbana’s numbers and trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Learn more about what Urbana has to offer.
Urbana offers residents a welcoming small-town atmosphere, well-maintained parks and community spaces, convenient local services, and ample opportunities to connect with neighbors and enjoy a balanced, active lifestyle.
Urbana offers a quieter, small-town lifestyle that feels distinct from nearby Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, while still giving residents quick access to those larger job markets and amenities. Just off Interstate 380, it appeals to people who want shorter commutes paired with a slower pace at home.
Life here revolves around community connections. The Benton Community School District is a major anchor, and many family activities center on school events and youth sports. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the Urbana trail system and easy access to Old Creamery Nature Trail for walking, running, and biking. Local parks and the nearby Vinton and Center Point areas expand options for dining, services, and recreation.
Within the broader Benton County region, Urbana’s housing stock ranges from established neighborhoods to newer construction, often with larger yards than you might find in Cedar Rapids or Hiawatha. Residents rely on nearby libraries and community centers, such as the Vinton Public Library, for programs, book clubs, and family events that reinforce the small-community feel.
Whether you are considering listing a longtime family home or hoping to buy before the next school year, timing and preparation matter in this evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands Urbana’s nuances and can guide both buyers and sellers through each step.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Mallori not only walked me through the process of selling my dads house but she helped us make the updates that were needed to get the offers. She was exactly what I needed. I'm forever grateful!”
“Jess was very professional and efficient with all communications. We are looking forward to working with her again.”
“We were really pleased with Joe Hoagland's service. He responded quickly with any questions, made time in his schedule to show various homes when we were in Omaha. Joe even FaceTimed with us, at times when we could not be in Omaha, to show us homes we were interested in. He met with our daughter and son to view homes and FaceTimed with us. Joe was also very honest with us. Often times, he noticed little imperfections that were not obvious to us. He advised us on offering prices. Joe was the exact type of realtor for us! He was a pleasure to work with!”
“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”
“Presley went out of her way to provide us with the best service possible. Very respectful and considerate. I would highly recommend Presley to anyone looking for property within her location to anyone. She is amazing! Cares for her clients and it shows!!!”
“Wendy Beal was knowledgeable and very proffesional. Her familiarity of the Ankeny market and current trends were of great help in setting the strategy for selling our home. We would highly recommend Wendy Beal for anybody looking to buy or sell in central Iowa.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Deanna was amazing! She listened to me & understood my goals. She answered all questions & was respectful of my wants & needs. She was quick with responses & was there for me every step of the process.”
“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”
“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”
“Roger was very responsive to our house selling & buying needs. He also presented to us additional options on other properties to consider besides the ones we found of interest to your.”
“Matt cares deeply about his clients and is as trustworthy as they come. He was a fantastic guide and advisor through our home buying process. We ran into a number of snafus and hiccups but he navigated us through them to secure a good deal. Highly recommend Matt!”
“I enjoyed working with David. He was always friendly and answered any questions that I asked. David was very knowledgeable and patient. He helped make the sale quick and easy. Would recommend him to anyone needing his service. I am thankful that we had him.”
“Agent Pronto gave me Toni Delfs name to help us find a home. She was a real delight to work with. She listened to our needs and wants, as well as what we did not want. We found our home and Toni was there to help with the whole process. She answered questions and was a wonderful bridge to all the people we dealt with along the way. Toni is the perfect person to help you find your next home and she gets the highest of marks for all her hard work. Thank you, Toni!”
“Nate Holler was very friendly, yet professional, each time I talked with him.”
“I'm extremely thankful to have been connected to my realtor, Sam, using Agent Pronto. You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”
“We had a very quick response from 2 agents. Lisa was first and had a property for us to look at. She learned a lot about us and what we wanted during that first walk through. She quickly found another, more suitable property. We spent lots of time e-mailing and calling and figuring things out. By the time we went to see the current property, she was pretty sure we would like it. I really liked it from the first look but, by the time I saw my "new sewing room" and walked the large yard, I was in love. It gave me a very peaceful feeling and I felt bonded to it, it was the place I needed right now. Things do go fast these days but we spent less than a month on this and Lisa is still there for us.”
“Brenda Charlson is a terrific realtor. We are moving next Tuesday from Illinois to Iowa and Brenda helped us buy a house VIRTUALLY! She guided and advised us all along the way, set up and conducted virtual tours for us, and even helped us to find local handymen in Iowa so our home will be clean and ready to go when we move in next week. HIGHLY recommended.”
“Enjoyed working with Rich and his team. Our acreage sold quickly and we received multiple offers.”
