Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Boone County real estate market. *
June 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Year over year, Boone County’s housing market has shifted toward more activity and higher price points. Homes sold have surged compared to last June, while new listings are also up strongly, signaling more movement on both sides of the table. Typical home values have inched higher over the past year, even as conditions have evolved.
In the latest June 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits around $229,000, with a median list price near $241,000. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market now about 41 days, yet inventory remains tight at just 1.7 months of supply, well below the 3.1 months seen across Iowa.
Recent monthly trends show some cross-currents for buyers and sellers. Active listings are up more than 24 percent from last year, but they dipped slightly from May, and new listings fell month over month even as closed sales jumped by a third. Only about one in five homes sold above list price in June, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent, suggesting pricing is firm but not overheated. With Boone County still labeled a seller’s market yet offering more options than before, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these conditions.
Boone County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, accessible services, and supportive opportunities for families, farmers, and small businesses to thrive.
Boone County stands out from nearby metro communities by blending small city energy with wide open rural views and quick access to Des Moines and Ames. Residents value a strong sense of community paired with practical conveniences, from everyday shopping to healthcare and schools.
In Boone, historic brick streets meet updated neighborhoods and employers tied to agriculture, manufacturing, and education. Families appreciate local events at places like Boone Community School District and weekend rides on the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, while outdoor enthusiasts head for the trails and river access at Boone County Conservation. East of town, Madrid has a tight knit feel and quick entry to the High Trestle Trail bridge, a regional favorite for cycling and sunset views. Nearby Ogden and Pilot Mound offer quieter streets and easy connections to farmland and timber.
Year round, locals gather for high school sports, library programs at the Ericson Public Library, and seasonal festivals that keep neighbors connected. Home styles range from early 1900s two stories to newer builds on the edge of town, so pricing and competition can vary block by block.
Whether you are planning a first purchase, upsizing, or preparing to sell, timing and strategy matter in Boone County’s evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable local agent who understands today’s conditions and can guide both buyers and sellers from preparation to closing.

“Matt made the entire process of selling my house easy and stress-free. He was professional, honest, and always available to answer my questions. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail helped everything go smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor, and I’d highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Mallori has consistently gone above and beyond for me and my family. She made both the home buying and home selling process feel smooth and stress-free. As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect, but Mallori guided me every step of the way with patience, knowledge, and professionalism. I truly couldn't have imagined working with anyone else. I especially appreciated her attention to detail and the time she took to find a home that met all of my family's needs. Later, when it was time for a major life transition and we needed to sell our home, Mallori was there for us again. She made the process seamless, advocated for our best interests, and helped our family achieve the best possible outcome.”
“Always available or gets back to me soon. Very skilled at solving any problems that came up. Would recomend her to anyone. Thanks Jess.”
“Had a great experience, the Agent (Caitlin) was amazing , very knowledgeable and got the property sold very quickly”
“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!”
“We were really pleased with Joe Hoagland's service. He responded quickly with any questions, made time in his schedule to show various homes when we were in Omaha. Joe even FaceTimed with us, at times when we could not be in Omaha, to show us homes we were interested in. He met with our daughter and son to view homes and FaceTimed with us. Joe was also very honest with us. Often times, he noticed little imperfections that were not obvious to us. He advised us on offering prices. Joe was the exact type of realtor for us! He was a pleasure to work with!”
“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!”
“Presley went out of her way to provide us with the best service possible. Very respectful and considerate. I would highly recommend Presley to anyone looking for property within her location to anyone. She is amazing! Cares for her clients and it shows!!!”
“Wendy Beal was knowledgeable and very proffesional. Her familiarity of the Ankeny market and current trends were of great help in setting the strategy for selling our home. We would highly recommend Wendy Beal for anybody looking to buy or sell in central Iowa.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Deanna was amazing! She listened to me & understood my goals. She answered all questions & was respectful of my wants & needs. She was quick with responses & was there for me every step of the process.”
“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!”
“Roger was very responsive to our house selling & buying needs. He also presented to us additional options on other properties to consider besides the ones we found of interest to your.”
“Matt cares deeply about his clients and is as trustworthy as they come. He was a fantastic guide and advisor through our home buying process. We ran into a number of snafus and hiccups but he navigated us through them to secure a good deal. Highly recommend Matt!”
“I enjoyed working with David. He was always friendly and answered any questions that I asked. David was very knowledgeable and patient. He helped make the sale quick and easy. Would recommend him to anyone needing his service. I am thankful that we had him.”
“Agent Pronto gave me Toni Delfs name to help us find a home. She was a real delight to work with. She listened to our needs and wants, as well as what we did not want. We found our home and Toni was there to help with the whole process. She answered questions and was a wonderful bridge to all the people we dealt with along the way. Toni is the perfect person to help you find your next home and she gets the highest of marks for all her hard work. Thank you, Toni!”
“Nate Holler was very friendly, yet professional, each time I talked with him.”
“I'm extremely thankful to have been connected to my realtor, Sam, using Agent Pronto. You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”
“We had a very quick response from 2 agents. Lisa was first and had a property for us to look at. She learned a lot about us and what we wanted during that first walk through. She quickly found another, more suitable property. We spent lots of time e-mailing and calling and figuring things out. By the time we went to see the current property, she was pretty sure we would like it. I really liked it from the first look but, by the time I saw my "new sewing room" and walked the large yard, I was in love. It gave me a very peaceful feeling and I felt bonded to it, it was the place I needed right now. Things do go fast these days but we spent less than a month on this and Lisa is still there for us.”
