The highest-priced home sales reported in Waterloo-Cedar Falls & Cedar Valley, Iowa for the week ending November 8, 2026, spread across four counties, from established Cedar Falls neighborhoods to open country in Bremer and Grundy counties. Together the five sales came to $2.527 million.
Cedar Falls had two of the five, and the rest came from Waverly, Holland and Shell Rock. The group runs from a home built in 1975 to one finished in 2006, and two of the properties sit on more than three acres. In two of the sales, the same agent was on both sides.
