“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better Realtor! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help us through every step of the process. He was incredibly patient, kind, knowledgeable, and always made us feel like we were more than just clients. What really stood out to us was how genuinely caring he was. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel so much easier, and along the way, he became almost like family to us. You could truly tell that he cared about finding the right home for us and making sure we were happy—not just about making a sale. We are beyond grateful for everything he did for us and for all the time, effort, and kindness he showed our family. We are SO happy with our new home, and we truly feel like we gained a friend through the process. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you with kindness, respect, and genuine care, we couldn’t recommend him enough!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Homes in South Iowa City have been moving noticeably faster in the latest rolling three-month window, with the median time to go under contract dropping to just 16 days. A year ago, homes typically took about 36 days to sell, so this sharp decline signals buyers are acting quickly when the right property hits the market. At the same time, months of supply has tightened to 1.7, down significantly from 2.6 a year earlier, highlighting conditions that favor sellers and limit the options available to shoppers.
Price trends reflect this quicker pace. The typical home value over the past three months is up about 11 percent year over year, and the median list price has climbed nearly 25 percent compared with the same period last year. Sellers are often achieving close to what they ask, with the average sale-to-list ratio just under 100 percent.
Activity levels show fewer homes changing hands than a year ago, with rolling three-month sales down more than 30 percent even as active listings have also fallen. Nearby Iowa City as a whole has a slightly higher months of supply around 1.8 and a higher median sale price than South Iowa City, underscoring this neighborhood’s relatively lower price point and tight inventory. With more than a third of recent sales closing above list price, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can help them quickly find one who fits their needs.

“Mallori was a pleasure to work with. She made herself available, and if she wasn't available she notified me when she would be. I always felt comfortable that she had my best interest at heart.”
“Matt Wikert was great to work with. He was able to guide us through the whole process even with some "hiccups" along the way! His knowledge of the area also helped. It was a pleasure to have him as our agent. Highly recommend to anyone.”
“Isaiah is great to work with and I will continue to work with him on future real estate deals!”
“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!”
“Presley went out of her way to provide us with the best service possible. Very respectful and considerate. I would highly recommend Presley to anyone looking for property within her location to anyone. She is amazing! Cares for her clients and it shows!!!”
“Wendy Beal was knowledgeable and very proffesional. Her familiarity of the Ankeny market and current trends were of great help in setting the strategy for selling our home. We would highly recommend Wendy Beal for anybody looking to buy or sell in central Iowa.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“Deanna was amazing! She listened to me & understood my goals. She answered all questions & was respectful of my wants & needs. She was quick with responses & was there for me every step of the process.”
“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!”
“Roger was very responsive to our house selling & buying needs. He also presented to us additional options on other properties to consider besides the ones we found of interest to your.”
“Matt cares deeply about his clients and is as trustworthy as they come. He was a fantastic guide and advisor through our home buying process. We ran into a number of snafus and hiccups but he navigated us through them to secure a good deal. Highly recommend Matt!”
“I enjoyed working with David. He was always friendly and answered any questions that I asked. David was very knowledgeable and patient. He helped make the sale quick and easy. Would recommend him to anyone needing his service. I am thankful that we had him.”
“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!”
“Nate Holler was very friendly, yet professional, each time I talked with him.”
“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.”
“We had a very quick response from 2 agents. Lisa was first and had a property for us to look at. She learned a lot about us and what we wanted during that first walk through. She quickly found another, more suitable property. We spent lots of time e-mailing and calling and figuring things out. By the time we went to see the current property, she was pretty sure we would like it. I really liked it from the first look but, by the time I saw my "new sewing room" and walked the large yard, I was in love. It gave me a very peaceful feeling and I felt bonded to it, it was the place I needed right now. Things do go fast these days but we spent less than a month on this and Lisa is still there for us.”
