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

Waterbury is seeing relatively lean inventory, with about 28 active listings and just 2.3 months of supply in this rolling three-month view. New listings are down compared with a year ago, and homes sold have also eased, pointing to fewer deals getting done overall. Even so, buyers are still active, with 16 pending sales recently and more than half of homes going under contract within two weeks.

Prices are holding firm at the higher end of the Des Moines area. The typical home value in Waterbury is around $450,000, roughly double the citywide median sale price, and it is up modestly year over year.

Pricing dynamics show a slight softening in heat even as values edge up. The share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 18 percent compared with stronger readings in some prior years, and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with the median days on market now around six weeks, even though the broader gauge still classifies conditions as a seller’s market. With these mixed signals for pricing and pace, both buyers and sellers in Waterbury can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands the current numbers and local trends.



Learn more about what Waterbury has to offer.

Waterbury offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with well-kept parks, convenient local amenities, and a tight-knit, neighbor-friendly vibe that makes everyday life both easy and connected.

Waterbury in Des Moines stands out from nearby neighborhoods like Beaverdale and Southwestern Hills with its winding, tree‑lined streets, classic period homes, and strong sense of long term community roots. Tucked near the western edge of the city, it offers a quieter residential feel while staying close to major employers and culture in Des Moines.

Architectural character is a key draw here, with brick Tudors, colonial revivals, and thoughtful renovations that respect original details. Residents appreciate nearby access to Greenwood/Ashworth Park and the trails around Raccoon River Park, ideal for running, biking, and weekend outings. Families often look to highly regarded schools such as Greenwood Elementary and Roosevelt High School, both central to the neighborhood’s identity.

Local dining and culture are close at hand, with Ingersoll Avenue’s restaurants and coffee spots, the Des Moines Art Center in nearby Waterbury Heights, and the Des Moines Public Library system providing everyday convenience. Commuters value quick connections to West Des Moines and Windsor Heights.

Because Waterbury is established and inventory can be limited, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to compete for a character home or position your property for the right buyers, partnering with the right local agent through Agent Pronto can make both buying and selling more successful.

“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!”
