“Hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. Matt truly cares that his clients find what they're actually looking for, not just closing a sale. On the buying side, he was great at pointing out concerning items during showings, and he was especially valuable during our blue tape walkthrough on our new house. He was clearly on our side the whole time and helped keep communication with the builder clear and moving. He also did a fantastic job selling our previous home. Matt is professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and we'll be calling him again next time.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year over year, De Soto’s rolling three-month data shows home values trending higher, with the typical home value up around 10 percent. Median list prices are rising even faster, up nearly 40 percent from a year ago. At the same time, both homes sold and new listings are down by roughly 60 percent, signaling slower overall activity.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, the typical home value sits at about $272,000, while the median list price is closer to $344,000. Inventory has tightened compared with last year, with active listings down by about a quarter even as months of supply has expanded sharply to about 14 and a half months, reflecting the recent slowdown in closed and pending sales.
Homes that do sell are generally doing so near asking price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent and half of recent sales closing above list. Median days on market has edged up slightly year over year to 26 days, which is still relatively quick given the higher months of supply. With so few recent transactions and shifting conditions between buyers and sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a De Soto agent who understands this nuanced market.

De Soto offers residents a close-knit community, convenient amenities, and ample opportunities for education, work, and recreation in a welcoming, family-friendly setting.
De Soto offers a quieter, small-town alternative to nearby Des Moines and West Des Moines, with easy access to both via Interstate 80. Residents value its low-key pace, strong community ties, and open surroundings, while still being close to major employers, shopping, and entertainment in the metro area.
Local life centers around family activities, school events, and shared spaces. The ADM Community School District connects De Soto with neighboring communities through academics, arts, and athletics. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate proximity to Badger Creek State Recreation Area and Kuehn Conservation Area for hiking, kayaking, hunting, and wildlife viewing. Everyday errands and local dining are a short drive away in Waukee or Adel, while De Soto itself retains a more relaxed, rural edge.
Housing in De Soto ranges from long-held family homes to newer construction on larger lots. Inventory can be limited, so buyers benefit from understanding local trends and being prepared to act quickly. Sellers who time their listing around school calendars and metro-wide demand can capture strong interest from those seeking more space and a closer-knit feel.

“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! 🏡❤️”
“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”
“As a first time buyer, I was nervous of what to expect from a realtor. Rob absolutely exceeded my expectations of real estate agents— from the first day we met I could tell he genuinely cared about the state of the homes we looked at. He got me an awesome basket of gifts on closing day filled with home essentials. Thank you Rob! You’re excellent!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Kelsey went above and beyond for us in every way possible and was so consistent, informative, and kind throughout our whole first time buying process. You can tell she truly loves what she does and that made our experience so much more special. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“I am particular with what I like and don’t like. John was very patient. Each time we would look at a house he would check to see if this is what we liked, could we see ourselves in the home. Any concerns I had, John was always prompt to follow up with me. I felt like at the time I was his only client.”
“Enjoyed working with Rich and his team. Our acreage sold quickly and we received multiple offers.”
“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.”
