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

Year over year in Iowa City, home values in this rolling three-month window are slightly lower, with the typical home value and median list price each down about 5 percent. Inventory has tightened notably, as active listings are down roughly 29 percent from a year ago while new listings are off more than 22 percent. Despite those shifts, homes sold are roughly flat compared with last year, indicating steady buyer demand.

In the latest rolling three-month period ending in August 2026, the typical home value is about $310,000, closely aligned with a median list price near $312,000. Homes are moving faster than a year ago, with the median days on market down 25 percent to just 22 days, and nearly 31 percent of listings are going off the market in two weeks.

Supply conditions point to a lean seller’s market, with only 1.8 months of inventory available and an average sale-to-list price ratio just under 99 percent. Even so, just under a quarter of homes are closing above asking price, slightly less than last year, suggesting buyers still have room to negotiate on some properties. With 436 active listings, 341 recent sales, and 202 homes under contract, both sides are active in Iowa City’s market. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these trends can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands this landscape.

“I have bought and sold many homes over the years which means that I have worked with many agents over the years. Mallori is hands down the best realtor we have had the pleasure to partner with for buying/selling a home (we have bought 2 and sold 1 home with Mallori). Her attention to detail, her knowledge, her passion, her communication are all second to none. She is the best in the business. And, to top it all off, she is 'just good people.' She loves her family, she loves what she does for a living (most days LOL) and she is a joy to be around. We are incredibly grateful that we met her ~ 4 years ago and have had the pleasure of doing business with her mutltiple times now. We will use Mallori again when it is time to downsize from this home and on to the next smaller home. Thank you Mallori, we appreciate you!”

“Isaiah made the process easy! Being a first time buyer we obviously had a lot of unkowns, and honestly didn't even know where to begin. Isaiah gave us a clear picture as to what steps we need to take, and what to expect cost wise (which seems like a rarity nowadays) which reassured us that we were in a good position to buy. We appreciate his flexibility during the home search process as we looked at A LOT of houses in a short amount of time. His knowledge on what to look for in a home/neighborhood were honestly things I would have never even thought about looking for. With Isaiah's help we found the perfect fit, and we are LOVING our first home! We cannot thank Isaiah enough!”

“Jess Jager was absolutely fantastic to work with throughout our home purchase. Since the property was over three hours away, she went above and beyond by driving there to do a detailed video walkthrough for us, which gave us the confidence to move forward before making the trip ourselves. She was always responsive, honest, and professional, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. We truly appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile and her attention to detail. I would highly recommend Jess to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated realtor. Thank you, Jess, for making our lake house purchase such a great experience!”

“We were really pleased with Joe Hoagland's service. He responded quickly with any questions, made time in his schedule to show various homes when we were in Omaha. Joe even FaceTimed with us, at times when we could not be in Omaha, to show us homes we were interested in. He met with our daughter and son to view homes and FaceTimed with us. Joe was also very honest with us. Often times, he noticed little imperfections that were not obvious to us. He advised us on offering prices. Joe was the exact type of realtor for us! He was a pleasure to work with!”

“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!”

“Agent Pronto gave me Toni Delfs name to help us find a home. She was a real delight to work with. She listened to our needs and wants, as well as what we did not want. We found our home and Toni was there to help with the whole process. She answered questions and was a wonderful bridge to all the people we dealt with along the way. Toni is the perfect person to help you find your next home and she gets the highest of marks for all her hard work. Thank you, Toni!”

“I'm extremely thankful to have been connected to my realtor, Sam, using Agent Pronto. You never know with some of these free online services just who they will be connecting you with, and since home buying involves a great deal of money, it is imperative to find the right agent. Sam was exactly who I needed to help me along this journey. She's so immensely helpful, doesn't sugarcoat the facts, and is really your very own personal real estate champion. I couldn't be more impressed or happy with my experience.”
