Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Lower Beaver has tightened notably in this rolling three-month view. Active listings are down more than a quarter from a year ago even though they have ticked up modestly in recent months. New listings have fallen by roughly a third year over year, and months of supply has dropped about 18 percent to 1.7, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers.
Contract activity shows some crosscurrents. Homes sold over the latest three-month period are slightly lower than a year ago, while pending sales are down more sharply, falling more than a third year over year. At the same time, homes that do hit the market are taking much longer to go under contract than last summer, with median days on market jumping from about two weeks a year ago to nearly a month now.
Pricing is adjusting to these dynamics in a nuanced way. The typical home value is down slightly, off around 2 percent year over year, yet the median list price has climbed more than 15 percent over the same span, suggesting sellers are testing higher price points even as buyers negotiate. Only about 13 percent of recent sales closed above list, a major shift from the much higher share seen in mid-2023, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged under 98 percent. Compared with the broader Des Moines market, Lower Beaver still has leaner inventory and lower months of supply, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands these local conditions.

“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!”
