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

Inventory in Adel has eased slightly in this rolling three-month view, with about 100 active listings, down a bit from a year ago. Yet contract activity has slowed more noticeably, as homes sold, new listings, and pending sales are all down more than 15 percent year over year. With fewer deals closing relative to stock on the market, months of supply has climbed sharply to just over five months.

Prices have held firm despite the softer contract flow. The typical home value is up a few percent from last year, and the median list price has risen at a similar pace, signaling that sellers still have pricing power. A smaller share of homes is selling, but those that do are often well-aligned with list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and a modest uptick in the share closing above asking.

Buyers are seeing a bit more breathing room on timing, as the median days on market has edged down from last year but still sits near seven weeks, longer than in some past peak periods. Sellers, meanwhile, are operating in a market that leans their way but demands careful pricing and preparation to stand out among more available options. Whether you are buying or selling in Adel, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move with confidence.



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.

“Hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. Matt truly cares that his clients find what they're actually looking for, not just closing a sale. On the buying side, he was great at pointing out concerning items during showings, and he was especially valuable during our blue tape walkthrough on our new house. He was clearly on our side the whole time and helped keep communication with the builder clear and moving. He also did a fantastic job selling our previous home. Matt is professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and we'll be calling him again next time.”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”

“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”

“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!”

“Kelsey went above and beyond for us in every way possible and was so consistent, informative, and kind throughout our whole first time buying process. You can tell she truly loves what she does and that made our experience so much more special. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“I am particular with what I like and don’t like. John was very patient. Each time we would look at a house he would check to see if this is what we liked, could we see ourselves in the home. Any concerns I had, John was always prompt to follow up with me. I felt like at the time I was his only client.”

“Toren was absolutely great with our home buying process. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to buying a new home. He was non-biased and gave us honest input, regardless of the condition of the home. He took our family into consideration, we have a one year old, and a small dog. Toren always kept that in mind when he was showing us a home. He was always flexible and found time for us, regardless of the situation. 10/10 would (and will) recommend him to any friend or family member that needs a realtor.”
