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

Year-over-year, Martin Luther King Jr. Park’s rolling three-month data shows prices rising even as activity cools. The typical home value is up more than 14 percent from a year ago, while the median list price has climbed over 24 percent, but homes sold are down about half and new listings have fallen nearly two-thirds.

In the latest three-month view ending in September 2026, inventory has tightened sharply, with active listings down more than 60 percent compared with last year and only 2.1 months of supply available. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market up about 19 percent to 54 days, and sellers are receiving about 95.6 percent of their list price on average.

Compared with the broader Des Moines market, where the median sale price sits higher and months of supply are around 3.7, this neighborhood looks leaner on inventory and more tilted toward sellers. Whether you are a buyer navigating fewer options and longer timelines or a seller weighing rising values and pricing strategy, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends and can guide you through your next move.

“Roxanne did an awesome job through the whole process of searching for and buying a house. She was very responsive, kind, patient, gave great advice, and went above and beyond to help us!”

“Hands down the best realtor I've ever worked with. Matt truly cares that his clients find what they're actually looking for, not just closing a sale. On the buying side, he was great at pointing out concerning items during showings, and he was especially valuable during our blue tape walkthrough on our new house. He was clearly on our side the whole time and helped keep communication with the builder clear and moving. He also did a fantastic job selling our previous home. Matt is professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone buying or selling, and we'll be calling him again next time.”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”

“Ryan is, above all else, kind and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and about the community he lives in. He thinks about the impact of his decisions, and he has never treated real estate like it's just another transaction. I've worked with Ryan through several transactions and have watched him repeatedly make decisions that meant less profit for himself because doing the right thing mattered more. That's not something you see every day, and it's one of the reasons I trust him so deeply. I've also seen him go far beyond what anyone would expect of a realtor—helping clients and community members in ways that have nothing to do with making a sale. He shows up for people simply because it's who he is. Ryan is truly good. He's a gift to his clients and to our community. People trust him because he leads with empathy, integrity, and a genuine desire to leave people better than he found them. If you have the chance to work with him, I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of helping me buy my duplex. He made the transaction incredibly smooth, took the time to walk me through every step, and was always available to answer my questions. I always felt confident knowing he was there to guide me from start to finish. What impressed me most was that his commitment didn't end after closing. I initially hired a property management company to lease the duplex, but after several months they were unable to find tenants. I reached out to Matt, and he had the property leased within a week. That really showed me how knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated he is. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again.”

“Paul is amazing, he is very knowledgeable and knows what to look out for in buying a good home. He is down to earth and easy to talk with making sure I understand everything clearly. He is not your everyday realtor, he will go above and beyond to help you! I trust Paul with all my questions on selling and buying a home.”

“Daniel Wandling was amazing to work with, especially when it came to helping my parents find the right home. What really stood out was his ability to find an off-market property that we wouldn’t have found on our own. That made a huge difference and gave us an opportunity we didn’t even know existed. He was very professional, responsive, and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident in every decision. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to help them. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Matt Cole. He is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and always so responsive. He made what is normally a very stressful process—selling and buying a home—feel completely seamless. From start to finish, he supported us every step of the way and we always felt confident knowing he had our best interests in mind. Even beyond the transaction, his thoughtfulness truly stood out—our housewarming gift was so personal and meaningful. Honestly, the only downside to being done with the process is that it means we don’t get to see him as much anymore. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”

“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!”

“Working with Alfonso was the single best realtor experience I've ever had. He facilitated everything long distance and made the process a breeze. He worked tirelessly on our behalf and was extremely knowledgable, thorough, professional and throughout it all, polite, courteous and candid. Alfonso's extensive background and knowledge of local real estate helped immensely. His vast network of skilled tradespeople made the entire process of selling our home painless from listing, through inspection, all the way to closing. I cannot recommend Alfonso enough. Thank you for the amazing partnership, Alfonso!”

“I work for a new construction builder in the Des Moines metro. Crossed paths with Kristina as her buyers were looking into a townhome in Altoona. We quickly had great conversation and she simply gave me the time of day. She made me feel heard and appreciated from day 1 all the way till closing on her buyers' home. She is knowledgeable, professional, outgoing and extremely personable. I would definitely recommend her to any unrepresented buyers or friends and family. We worked extremely well together. She was awesome!”

“Matt is not only a great realtor, he's a good friend. He made sure I was taken care of beginning to end and put up with me dragging him all over to see houses. He communicated with me on every step and made sure I understood the process. He followed up multiple times after to make sure I was happy and all was as I expected. Thank you, Matt!!”

“I am particular with what I like and don’t like. John was very patient. Each time we would look at a house he would check to see if this is what we liked, could we see ourselves in the home. Any concerns I had, John was always prompt to follow up with me. I felt like at the time I was his only client.”
