Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Q1 2026).

Collins is currently showing a neutral housing market, with conditions not clearly favoring buyers or sellers. A very high 19.1 months of supply and only one home sold in the latest rolling three-month period point to limited buyer demand relative to the number of homes available.

Prices over the latest rolling three-month window reflect notable shifts compared with a year ago. The typical home value is up sharply year over year, while the median list price is down significantly over the same period, suggesting sellers may be pricing more conservatively than recent sale outcomes.

On the activity side, inventory and seller participation have increased, with active listings up strongly from last year and new listings more than doubling year over year. Homes are taking much longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market rising to 108 even as the average sale-to-list ratio edges just under 100 percent, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these conditions.



Learn more about what Collins has to offer.

Collins offers its residents a welcoming, close-knit community with convenient amenities and ample opportunities for outdoor recreation and neighborly connection.

Collins is a small, close‑knit community in central Iowa with an easy commute to both Ames and Des Moines, giving residents access to major employers, shopping, and culture while preserving a quieter pace of life. With a compact footprint and low traffic, daily routines are straightforward, from school drop‑off to trips to local services.

Families benefit from the Collins‑Maxwell Community School District, where smaller class sizes create a more personal learning environment. Local parks and ballfields, including facilities highlighted by the City of Collins, support youth sports, community events, and casual recreation. Nearby regional destinations such as Hickory Grove Park offer camping, fishing, and trails within a short drive.

Daily living is practical and grounded. Residents often pair small‑town services with broader options in Ames or Des Moines, including healthcare, shopping, and entertainment. The surrounding farmland contributes to a sense of openness and provides easy access to seasonal produce and agricultural services.

Whether you are relocating for work in nearby cities, looking to trade urban noise for quieter streets, or planning to sell and move on to a new chapter, local knowledge matters. An experienced Collins agent understands backroads, school bus routes, seasonal market shifts, and buyer expectations, which can significantly reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right local real estate professional to make each step more confident and manageable.

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”
