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.

“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! 🏡❤️”

“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!”

“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!”
Iowa Realty
“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
