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

Inventory in Highland Park has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up compared with a year ago and sitting at 72 homes. New listings have also risen year over year, while pending sales and closed sales have both dropped sharply from last spring. With months of supply climbing to 3.6, conditions look less tight than the broader Des Moines market, which is at 2.9 months of supply.

Prices are holding relatively steady in spite of the slower sales pace. The typical home value is almost unchanged from a year ago, and the median list price is up compared with last year, suggesting sellers are still testing higher price points.

Homes that do sell are moving quickly, spending a median of just 15 days on the market in the latest period. Roughly half of listings go off the market within two weeks, and more than one in five sales still close above the asking price, even with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent. These mixed signals point to a market where well-priced, move-in-ready properties draw strong attention, while others may sit longer. In this type of shifting environment, both buyers and sellers in Highland Park can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local real estate agent who understands the latest trends.

Families appreciate proximity to parks and the nearby Riverview Park, which features green space and river access, while the Des Moines Public Library North Side branch on Hickman is a convenient resource for residents.

Commuters can reach downtown Des Moines, Beaverdale, or River Bend quickly, and the Des Moines Area Regional Transit system provides additional connectivity. Local schools within Des Moines Public Schools and community organizations add to a steady neighborhood feel that appeals to both long‑time residents and newcomers.

“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!”
