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

Arbor Peaks currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 33 and conditions tighter than in Des Moines overall. Months of supply sits at 5.6 in this rolling three-month view, higher than the city’s 3.7 months, yet inventory here has dropped about one-third from a year ago. Active listings are down nearly 33 percent year over year, while new listings have fallen about 36 percent, keeping options limited for buyers.

Prices have swung upward in this period, with the typical home value around $805,500 and up roughly 75 percent from a year earlier. At the same time, the median list price has fallen nearly 39 percent year over year, suggesting a mix of higher-end recent sales alongside more moderately priced current listings. Homes are also selling faster than they did a year ago, with median days on market dropping from 64 days last year to 23 days now, even as the share selling above list has moved down to zero.

Sales activity has cooled compared with last year, as homes sold are down about 55 percent and pending sales are down nearly 70 percent on a year-over-year basis. This slowdown contrasts with the sharp decline in time on market, hinting that well-priced listings can still attract buyers quickly even in a lower-volume environment. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local Arbor Peaks agent who understands the data and the dynamics on the ground.

“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! 🏡❤️”

“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.”

“Daniel Wandling was amazing to work with, especially when it came to helping my parents find the right home. What really stood out was his ability to find an off-market property that we wouldn’t have found on our own. That made a huge difference and gave us an opportunity we didn’t even know existed. He was very professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident in every decision. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“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!”

“I work for a new construction builder in the Des Moines metro. Crossed paths with Kristina as her buyers were looking into a townhome in Altoona. We quickly had great conversation and she simply gave me the time of day. She made me feel heard and appreciated from day 1 all the way till closing on her buyers' home. She is knowledgeable, professional, outgoing and extremely personable. I would definitely recommend her to any unrepresented buyers or friends and family. We worked extremely well together. She was awesome!”

“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.”

“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.”
