Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Homes in Capitol Park are moving at a brisk clip, with a rolling three-month median of just 11 days on market, down sharply from much longer listing times a year ago. This quicker pace is occurring even as inventory has grown, with active listings up more than 55 percent year over year to 20 homes.
Prices have adjusted downward over the past year, even as homes sell faster. The typical home value over the latest rolling three months is about $151,000, down more than 14 percent from a year earlier. Median list prices have fallen even more steeply, dropping nearly 30 percent year over year.
Supply has loosened noticeably, with months of supply rising to 5.8 in Capitol Park, compared with about 2.8 months across Des Moines overall, signaling relatively more options for local buyers. At the same time, demand still shows up in the details, with roughly half of homes going off the market within two weeks and sale-to-list ratios averaging just above 101 percent. With pending sales more than doubling year over year, this rolling three-month snapshot shows an active but more balanced setting where buyers can negotiate while sellers still achieve strong results. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced guide in these conditions, and Agent Pronto can help connect them with the right local real estate agent.

“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!”
