Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Colfax currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a seller’s market. Months of supply sit at 3.7 in the latest rolling three-month view, which is relatively low even after a sharp year-over-year decline. Fewer homes on the market compared with a year ago help give sellers more leverage.
Prices over the past three months have trended higher than a year earlier, with the typical home value up about 13 percent year over year. The median list price is also higher than last year by roughly 19 percent, indicating that sellers are testing stronger price points. At the same time, inventory has tightened significantly, with active listings down about half from a year ago, while new listings are also lower by nearly 47 percent. Homes are spending less time on the market than they did a year ago, as median days on market have fallen by about 12 percent.
Even with these seller-friendly signals, not every property is selling instantly or above asking in Colfax. Only about 17 percent of recent sales closed above list price in this rolling three-month window, and the average sale-to-list ratio of about 98 percent shows buyers still have some room to negotiate. Activity has cooled from last year, with homes sold and pending sales both down year over year, so motivated sellers need sharp pricing and strong marketing. Whether you are a buyer navigating tight inventory or a seller aiming to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Learn more about what Colfax has to offer.
Colfax offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with practical local amenities, pleasant parks, and engaging events that foster connection and a high quality of life.
Colfax offers a distinct small-town feel compared with the busier communities closer to Des Moines, with a strong sense of identity built around its mineral springs history and close-knit neighborhoods. Residents enjoy quick access to Interstate 80 for commuting, yet daily life still moves at an easy pace along Main Street and around community landmarks.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate Mineral Springs Park and its trails, green space, and connection to the town’s past. Families make frequent use of the Colfax Public Library for events and resources, and school-centered activities through Colfax-Mingo Community Schools anchor the local calendar. Nearby destinations like Newton and Altoona expand options for shopping, dining, and entertainment while keeping home life rooted in a quieter setting.
Local dining spots and everyday conveniences cluster near the historic downtown, while newer homes and established neighborhoods provide a range of housing choices. Recreational opportunities at Trainland U.S.A. and the Jasper County trail system contribute to a family friendly environment.
Whether you already live in Colfax or are considering a move from nearby communities like Pleasant Hill or Mitchellville, timing and preparation are crucial. From understanding current list prices to planning a competitive offer or strategic sale, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right local real estate professional to make the most of opportunities in Colfax.

“Justin was very helpful and always on top of getting documents sent, answering questions, finding listings and more. He was very polite and always on time.”

“Ryan is, above all else, kind and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and about the community he lives in. He thinks about the impact of his decisions, and he has never treated real estate like it's just another transaction. I've worked with Ryan through several transactions and have watched him repeatedly make decisions that meant less profit for himself because doing the right thing mattered more. That's not something you see every day, and it's one of the reasons I trust him so deeply. I've also seen him go far beyond what anyone would expect of a realtor—helping clients and community members in ways that have nothing to do with making a sale. He shows up for people simply because it's who he is. Ryan is truly good. He's a gift to his clients and to our community. People trust him because he leads with empathy, integrity, and a genuine desire to leave people better than he found them. If you have the chance to work with him, I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“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.”

“I work for a new construction builder in the Des Moines metro. Crossed paths with Kristina as her buyers were looking into a townhome in Altoona. We quickly had great conversation and she simply gave me the time of day. She made me feel heard and appreciated from day 1 all the way till closing on her buyers' home. She is knowledgeable, professional, outgoing and extremely personable. I would definitely recommend her to any unrepresented buyers or friends and family. We worked extremely well together. She was awesome!”

“Julie Campbell is our family real estate go to girl. The agent our ENTIRE family has used for several years. She's a quality individual who gets results and works tirelessly to achieve the desired outcome. I highly recommend her in to everyone all things real estate related.”
Iowa Realty
“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.”
