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

Inventory in Accent has tightened on a rolling three-month basis, with active listings down nearly 19% year over year to 37. New listings have fallen even more sharply, dropping over 47% from a year ago, which is keeping choices limited. Despite that, homes sold have risen about 12% year over year to 27, and pending sales remain solid, showing that buyers are still active.

Pricing has softened in response to these conditions. The typical home value is down just over 10% from a year earlier, while the median list price is essentially flat year over year, indicating sellers are adjusting but not slashing asking prices. Compared with the broader Des Moines market, Accent’s home values sit well below the city’s median, even as the neighborhood posts a leaner one month of supply versus about 2.9 months citywide.

Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market jumping significantly year over year to 38 days, a noticeable shift from the much faster pace seen in 2023. Fewer properties are commanding prices above list, with about 11% selling over asking, and the average sale-to-list ratio holding close to 98%, suggesting buyers have slightly more room to negotiate while sellers still receive offers near their expectations. In this kind of evolving seller-leaning market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands Accent’s latest trends.

Accent in Des Moines stands out from nearby neighborhoods by offering a quiet, well kept residential pocket with quick access to city amenities and major employers.

In a neighborhood like Accent, timing and preparation matter. Buyers who understand current inventory and neighborhood trends can act quickly when the right home appears.

“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!”

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!”
