Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).

Inventory in Adel has inched up, with about 108 active listings in the latest rolling three-month period and months of supply at 3.5. New listings are up more than 20% from a year ago, while pending sales have also risen modestly year over year. Closings have slowed compared with last year, with homes sold down roughly 12% on an annual basis despite the stronger flow of new listings.

Pricing is showing steady upward pressure in this environment. The typical home value is about 6% higher than a year ago, and the median list price has climbed even faster, rising nearly 16% year over year in the rolling three-month view. Sellers are still achieving close to their asking prices with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100%, and the share of properties selling above list has edged higher compared with last year.

Market pace has shifted notably, with the median days on market in the current three-month window at 59 days, a sharp improvement from the triple-digit listing times seen last summer. At the same time, inventory is higher and supply is thicker than it was in mid-2023, giving buyers a bit more room to weigh options even as conditions still lean toward sellers. With Adel showing a seller’s market overall but mixed signals in activity and pricing, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.



Learn more about what Adel has to offer.

Adel offers residents a welcoming small-town atmosphere, well-kept parks, convenient local amenities, and a strong sense of community that makes everyday life both comfortable and engaging.

Adel immediately feels distinct from nearby suburbs like Waukee and Clive, with a historic brick downtown and slower pace that still keeps you close to the Des Moines metro. The iconic Dallas County Courthouse anchors Main Street, surrounded by locally owned shops, cafes, and small businesses that give the city a strong sense of identity.

Outdoor life is a big part of living in Adel. The Raccoon River Valley Trail cuts through town, drawing cyclists and runners who enjoy long stretches of scenic countryside. Families make frequent use of Evans Park and the city pool, while the Adel Public Library serves as a year round hub for programs and community events. Students attend schools in the well regarded ADM Community School District, which is a major draw for households thinking about a move.

Housing options range from older homes on tree lined streets near downtown to newer developments on the edge of town, giving both first time buyers and move up shoppers solid choices. With interest in smaller communities rising across Dallas County and the Des Moines region, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are entering Adel’s market for the first time or considering selling while demand is strong, Agent Pronto can connect you with a real estate professional who understands how to position you for success.

“We met with Isaiah early in our home search at an open house while visiting from out of town. He was very knowledgeable and patient answering our numerous questions and it felt like the right fit for us. He helped us immensely every step of the way, providing his expert opinion when asked, helping us better understand the market so we could adjust our expectations accordingly, and quickly and efficiently organizing open houses and private showings for the homes that fit our criteria. He was not pushy and did not rush the process which we both appreciated as first time home buyers. We were unfamiliar with the area and received recommendations from him for multiple mortgage brokers, inspection companies, and more providing us options for trusted people to work with without feeling pressured. When we landed on our home, he walked us through each step and advocated for us when unexpected issues arose. Our home buying process went more smoothly with Isaiah's guidance!”

“Lacie was amazing throughout the whole buying experience as a first-time home owner. She made every effort to keep me informed during our buying process and shown her expertise when any questions arose. When there were some questions she couldn't answer she was able to defer me to the appriorate subject-matter expert whether it was an electrician for electrical questions/work to inspection questions. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and would highly recommend her to friends and family that are looking to buy/sell now and later! Thank you Lacie Shelby for working with my partner and I. Thank you even more for making our first home purchase worth it!”

“To whom it my concern, It is our immense pleasure to recommend Viola Salvato as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home. Viola had an initial meeting with us regarding our specific needs in a home as well as our budgetary limits. She is highly talented and immediately found us numerous listings of homes. She did not waste our time with homes that were not in line with our needs. Viola is a master with contract negotiation she came up with a deal that was good for us as well as making the seller happy. She knows the area like the back of her hand and there is nothing that escapes her attention when it comes to properties for sale in this area. We found Viola to be a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were her only customers, although we know that was not the case. She returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. She also is highly personable with an engaging personality. She is hands down the best!”

“Dakotah was amazing to work with! Dakotah was referred to us by someone and we will continue to refer him to others. Knowledgeable about the Des Moines area and homes in the area. Always felt that Dakotah was looking out for us as first time home buyers and helped us explain the home buying process in great detail. When we do decide to sell our incredible home, we will surely work with Dakotah again!”
