Is the housing market slowing down in Linn County, IA?
No real change. 323 homes sold in Linn County, IA during May 2026, against 369 in the same months a year earlier. That gap is small enough to be ordinary month-to-month variation rather than a trend.
This page is about how many homes changed hands, not what they cost. The two move separately: prices are set by the homes that did sell, and volume tells you how many people managed to transact at all. A market can hold its prices while activity quietly drains out of it.
We call this unchanged deliberately. The difference between 323 and 369 sales is inside the range that a normal month produces on its own, so calling it a decline or a recovery would be reading a story into noise.
The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 353 homes sold two years ago, 369 last year, 323 now. Across two years the level has held roughly steady.
What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 390 homes were on the market in Linn County, IA, and 323 sold. At that pace it would take about 1.2 months to clear them all. There are more buyers than homes for sale. Sellers have the edge.
Every comparison on this page is to the SAME calendar months a year earlier, never to last month. Home sales roughly double between January and May in most of the country, so a month-over-month reading would tell you about the season and nothing about the market.
