While roughly 30.3% of active listings saw a price drop and only about one-third of recent sales closed above list, homes still achieve an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.98 in this neutral market. Polk City’s typical home value is slightly above Polk County’s $314,000 level, even as the county shows a small 0.32% annual decline and holds a much larger inventory of 4,884 homes.
