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

Inventory in Lower Beaver has tightened notably in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are down about one-third year over year, and new listings have fallen by roughly 29 percent. Months of supply has been cut by more than half over the past year to just 1.1 months, signaling a strong seller’s market.

Pricing is adjusting to this constrained supply and shifting demand. The typical home value around $254,000 is down nearly 8 percent from a year ago, even as the broader Des Moines area saw a slight gain. Homes are no longer rushing off the market in days, with the median days on market jumping sharply year over year to 33 days, yet the average sale-to-list ratio remains tight at just under 100 percent.

Contract activity shows softer demand alongside limited options. Pending sales are down more than a third compared with last year, and the share of homes selling above list price has dropped to about 4 percent from much higher levels seen in 2023. Even so, about a third of listings still go off the market within two weeks, highlighting that well-priced homes can attract quick interest. With conditions evolving differently from the wider Des Moines market, both buyers and sellers in Lower Beaver can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with an experienced local agent.

“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!”

“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!”
