“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!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Cambridge is tight in this rolling three-month view, with only six active listings and just half a month of supply. Even with limited choices, homes sold nearly kept pace, also at six, and pending sales matched that number. New listings are sparse at three, and the sharp increase in active listings and homes sold compared with a year ago reflects more movement even within a small pool of properties.
Transaction flow has picked up significantly year over year. Homes sold are up sharply compared with the same period last year, and pending sales have risen even more, pointing to stronger buyer engagement.
Prices are adjusting as activity shifts. The typical home value sits around $232,000, up slightly from a year ago, while the median list price has dropped notably over that time, signaling more cautious pricing by sellers. Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market at 44 in the latest period, even though that is down from earlier this year. No recent sales have closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio has eased to about 98 percent. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these changing dynamics can rely on Agent Pronto to connect them with a knowledgeable local agent.
Learn more about what Cambridge has to offer.
Cambridge offers residents a tight-knit community, welcoming amenities, a peaceful small-town atmosphere, and plentiful opportunities for outdoor recreation and local events.
Cambridge offers a small town identity that feels distinctly its own compared with larger nearby cities like Ames and Ankeny. Daily life is centered around local traditions, familiar faces, and community pride that comes through at events hosted by Ballard Community School District, which serves area families and anchors school activities and athletics.
Residents spend time at Cambridge City Park, local ball fields, and on the nearby Heart of Iowa Nature Trail, where walking and biking connect neighbors as much as the scenery does. Everyday conveniences are close at hand, while a quick drive brings you to broader shopping, dining, and employment options in Story County and surrounding communities.
The public library system and programs coordinated through the City of Cambridge help newcomers plug in quickly and give longtime residents even more reason to stay involved. Local dining spots and community fundraisers often double as informal meetups, making it easy to get to know people and understand the pace of life.
Because inventory in smaller communities can shift quickly, preparation matters. Whether you are planning a first purchase in Cambridge or considering the best time to list your longtime home, connecting early with a knowledgeable local agent through Agent Pronto helps you time the market, understand current values, and move forward with confidence as both buyers and sellers.

“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!”
“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.”
