Lower Beaver is seeing relatively few homes on the market, with just 8 listings available in February 2026. Even with that limited inventory, buyers are still putting properties under contract, as shown by 26 pending sales. New listings have slowed significantly, down 51.85% from last year to only 13 for the month.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions in a nuanced way. Typical home values in Lower Beaver sit around $245,000, which is 7.55% lower than a year ago but up 1.98% from the prior month, and they are projected to edge up to about $247,375 next month. Sellers are getting close to their asking prices, with homes selling for about 97.6% of list on average, and 17.65% of recent sales closing above list price.
Homes are taking longer to sell than before, spending a median of 56 days on the market, a rise of 43.59% since last month and 55.56% over the past year. Compared with Des Moines as a whole, where typical values are near $216,500, Lower Beaver remains somewhat higher priced even as it sits in a seller’s market based on the current gauge.
