Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Arbor Peaks currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 19, but conditions are shifting toward more balance. Months of supply has climbed to 4.7 in the latest rolling three-month period, up sharply from a year ago. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with the median days on market jumping to 107.
Prices have moved down notably in this rolling three-month view, with the typical home value falling about 27 percent year over year. At the same time, the median list price is up around 10 percent from last year, showing a gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are paying. Sales activity has cooled, as homes sold are down more than 70 percent compared with a year ago, even though new listings are slightly higher.
Compared with the broader Des Moines market, Arbor Peaks has more inventory relative to demand, as Des Moines sits at just 2.5 months of supply. Sellers here are seeing less aggressive bidding than in prior years, with no recent sales closing above list price and an average sale-to-list ratio of about 97 percent. Buyers may find more room to negotiate, while sellers need sharp pricing and patience in this slower environment. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands these nuanced trends.

“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!”
