Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Year-over-year, Martin Luther King Jr. Park shows mixed movement in this rolling three-month view, with typical home values essentially flat while the median list price is up sharply by about a quarter. Compared with the broader Des Moines market, prices in the neighborhood remain lower overall, but local listing trends are rising more quickly than the citywide median.
In the latest period ending June 2026, homes typically spent about a month on the market, a big increase in time compared with a year earlier but faster than some of the longer stretches seen in recent quarters. Inventory looks tight, with roughly just over two months of supply, keeping conditions tilted toward sellers even as buyers have a bit more time to decide.
Sales activity has cooled notably from last year, with homes sold down by well over a third and new listings falling even more, though pending sales are only slightly below year-ago levels. A smaller share of homes is selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under full asking, showing that pricing has to be precise. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics in Martin Luther King Jr. Park can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the numbers and the negotiations behind them.

“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!”
