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

Year-over-year, Dallas County’s typical home value has edged down a bit, while the broader Iowa market has inched higher. Even with that dip, homes here are still significantly pricier than the state median, underscoring Dallas County’s premium position. Active listings are down from a year ago, pointing to slightly tighter inventory than last spring.

In the latest monthly snapshot for May 2026, sale prices are hovering around $369,000 while the median list price has climbed more than 5 percent over the past year. Buyers are seeing fewer options, with active listings off nearly 8 percent year over year, even as homes sold jumped almost 15 percent.

Conditions are balanced overall, with roughly three months of supply placing Dallas County in a neutral market rather than strongly favoring one side. Homes are spending about 60 days on the market, and only around 16 percent are closing above the list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. Compared with the state, Dallas County has higher prices but a similar months-of-supply read, suggesting local trends track the wider Iowa market with a more expensive profile. With inventory shifting and pricing staying firm, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who knows how to navigate this market.



Learn more about what Dallas County has to offer.

Dallas County offers residents a welcoming community with ample parks and outdoor spaces, strong schools, convenient services, and a range of opportunities for work, culture, and recreation.

Dallas County offers a distinct blend of fast-growing communities and open countryside that feels different from nearby urban options. Suburbs such as Waukee and West Des Moines stretch west from the metro, yet you are minutes from working farms, small towns, and wide river valleys. The result is a place where new construction, established neighborhoods, and acreage properties all share the same local identity.

Communities like Adel and Perry anchor the county with historic downtowns, local festivals, and strong school spirit, while areas such as Clive and Urbandale provide suburban convenience and quick access to regional employers. Outdoor recreation is a major draw, from biking the popular Raccoon River Valley Trail to exploring Kuehn Conservation Area and family time at Dallas County Parks. Everyday life is supported by strong local schools such as Waukee Community School District and accessible services through Dallas County.

With steady population growth and evolving inventory, timing your move in Dallas County matters. Buyers benefit from understanding neighborhood trends, school boundaries, and commute patterns before they start touring homes. Sellers who prepare with accurate pricing and strategic marketing can capture interest quickly in this competitive environment. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with a trusted real estate professional who understands Dallas County’s communities and can help you make the most of your timing.

“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!”
