CEDAR RAPIDS – Even with Jack Frost nipping at our nose – the Cedar Rapids real estate market is still warming up. Homes pending in November, meaning those real estate transactions that have a contract signed but have not closed, are up 3% this month compared to November 2011. Pending sales are a good predictor of the market one or two months from now, as a percentage of those sales end in closed transactions. "This increase in pendings shows us that the uptick we saw in 2012 is going to continue into the New Year," said Caroline Ruhl, President of Ruhl&Ruhl REALTORS. "We were fortunate to not have the huge downturn in the Cedar Rapids real estate market suffered by others and we are lucky that we are already back on track from the dip we had." Here's what else is happening in the Cedar Rapids real estate market: Cedar Rapids Area - November This month compared to the same month a year ago:
  • Number sold was down 18.3% - from  300 to 245
