What happened in June
June was the busiest month in the past two years: 181 homes closed, up from 165 last June. Waterloo had 85, Cedar Falls 65 and Waverly 25.
The median sale price was $235,000, up 5.8% from $222,200. In Cedar Falls, sellers got 101.7% of list price on average, meaning plenty of homes sold at or above asking.
The typical home sold in 7 days. The average was longer, 41 days, because some homes that had been sitting finally sold in the busy season.

Small towns swing a lot month to month: a few sales can move the median.
What it means for you
Summer is when the most buyers are out. If your home is priced right, you have a good chance at full price or better, especially in Cedar Falls.
Busy months mean competition. Be pre-approved, look early, and know your walk-away number before you write an offer.
Town-wide numbers are a starting point. I'll build you a Game Plan from the actual sales around your home. When you're ready to sell, I'd like to be the one who sells it.
About these numbers
- Closed residential sales (single-family, condo, townhouse, acreage) in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Evansdale and Waverly, by closing date, from the Paragon MLS of the Northeast Iowa Regional Board of REALTORS®. Pulled Nov 3, 2026.
- "Median" is the middle sale. One month's median moves with the mix of homes that closed, so look at the trend over several months.
- Days on market is the MLS count for each sold home. "% of list price" is total sold dollars divided by total list dollars for the month.
