September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year over year, Delaware County’s typical home value in September slipped by about 10 percent, while Iowa as a whole saw modest price growth. Listing prices also edged down compared with last year, suggesting sellers are adjusting expectations. At the same time, homes sold increased nearly 29 percent from a year ago, showing more completed transactions despite softer prices.
Looking at the latest month, the typical home value sits around $324,000, while the median list price is closer to $224,000, highlighting a gap between closed-sale values and current asking prices. Inventory has expanded, with active listings up more than a third from last year and months of supply at 4.6, higher than the state’s 3.4 months and pointing to more options and a neutral market balance.
Conditions on the ground show buyers taking a bit longer to commit, with median days on market up 35 percent year over year to 49 days and pending sales down about 17 percent. Only about 13 percent of homes sold above list price in September and the average sale-to-list ratio was just over 98 percent, indicating limited bidding wars and room for negotiation. With these shifting dynamics for both pricing and pace, buyers and sellers in Delaware County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands this evolving market.
Delaware County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, reliable local services, and a vibrant schedule of civic and cultural events that make life here engaging and fulfilling.
Delaware County offers a quieter, more grounded lifestyle than nearby urban centers like Cedar Rapids or Dubuque, while still keeping daily needs and regional jobs within easy reach. Communities such as Manchester and Earlville blend long‑time local families with newcomers drawn to strong schools, stable home prices, and a friendly pace of life.
Outdoor recreation anchors daily living here. The Delaware County Fairgrounds create a year‑round hub with events that bring neighbors together. Anglers, paddlers, and hikers enjoy Bailey’s Ford Park along the Maquoketa River, while Backbone State Park offers some of the best trails and rock formations in the region. Families appreciate resources like West Delaware County Community School District and the Manchester Public Library, which add educational and cultural depth to small‑town living.
Local identity shows up in packed high school games, community festivals, and busy downtown staples such as Delhi and Colesburg, where residents still know many merchants by name. Housing ranges from classic farmsteads and century homes to newer subdivisions near schools and parks.
With interest rates, inventory, and rural demand all shifting, timing and preparation matter.

“Jess was awesome to work with! We ended up having some obstacles come up with the house we were buying and she did a great job communicating with us and the buyers for our house the entire time! I truly don't think there was any other duo (Jess & Mallori) that could have handled the situation better and I would reccomend them to anyone who asked!”
“As a first time home buyer if i had to do it again, I wouldn't pick anyone else to help me through one of the most important decisions of my life. Kelly held my hand through the whole process, I could not ask more from a realtor. The way she broke down everything so i could understand how the process would go. Was available for all my questions and concerns but most of all the ease of the process. I have heard house buying can be stressful but not for me and thats all thanks to that amazing lady named Kelly! Your the best”
“Jon was very helpful with everything this was my first time purchasing a home and he made it very smooth!!”
“We have worked with Mallori before and wouldnt have it any other way. She is amazing at her job and goes above and beyond for her clients. Looking forward to working with her again in the future!”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jen Putnam Dvorak on the purchase of our new property. The process was handled professionally, with attention to detail and great communication. We would highly recomend her services.”
“Roxanne did an awesome job through the whole process of searching for and buying a house. She was very responsive, kind, patient, gave great advice, and went above and beyond to help us!”
“She was great, did a outstanding job helping us buy our first home, especially since I barley new what I was doing she helped with everything pointed us in the right direction on certain things helped us understand what we doing and was very patient while looked at quite a few homes in different towns we highly recommend her and her team”
“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.”
“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! 🏡❤️”
“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.”
“Matt did a great job on selling my property. The advertising was excellent and didn't need to lower the price”
“I cannot recommend Kathy Miller with RE/MAX Precision highly enough. I live 3,000 miles away from my 87-year-old parents and was devastated that I couldn't be there in person to help them sell their long-time (40 years!) home and purchase a new one—a monumental task in itself! Kathy didn't just act as their realtor; she became a trusted protector and guide. She took the time to explain every detail patiently to them both, kept me informed across time zones, and handled both transactions with incredible grace and professionalism. Kathy went above and beyond by helping them downsize—even sitting down with them to gently suggest what furniture to take to the new house and what to sell. From beautifully presenting their home and connecting them with movers for the heavy lifting, to conquering big, last-minute details, Kathy was there every step of the way—sharing in their excitement through all the hard work. Knowing my parents were in such safe, ethical, and capable hands gave our entire family complete peace of mind. If you want an agent who delivers flawless results, look no further.”
“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.”
“Mike did an excellent job helping us with the purchase of our home. The process was made smooth and easy with his experience and professionalism. He was understanding and made sure we knew and understood all of the steps being taken.”
“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.”
“Paul is amazing, he is very knowledgeable and knows what to look out for in buying a good home. He is down to earth and easy to talk with making sure I understand everything clearly. He is not your everyday realtor, he will go above and beyond to help you! I trust Paul with all my questions on selling and buying a home.”
“Troy is simply a superb realtor....his extensive knowledge and experience cover all facets of the market and home ownership. His understanding of local markets is unmatched blended with the highest standards of professional integrity. He is a clear communicator and remains exceptionally calm under pressure coupled with his honest, caring approach to all aspects of the process of purchasing a home. Look no further. He's your realtor.”
“Bianca did an amazing job with the sale of our home and purchasing a new home. She answered all our questions that came up during both buying and selling! She was patient with our search to make sure we found the right one!”
“He did an outstanding job for just starting in the business. He sold my house in under a month of being on the market. He then helped me search the surrounding area to find my current home.”
“Chelsi and her team were a true delight to work with! From beginning to end they remained incredibly kind, professional and promptly answered all of our questions and concerns thoroughly. TRULY A 5 STAR AGENT! Any buyer or seller would be lucky to have them in their corner.”
