“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.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Madrid currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge pointing to a seller’s market. Inventory sits at 5.6 months of supply on a rolling three-month basis, which is higher than a year ago but still not strongly favoring buyers. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 54 days.
Looking at prices over this rolling three-month view, typical home values are down about 15 percent compared with the same period last year, even though they’ve ticked up more than 10 percent from the prior three-month stretch. The average sale-to-list price ratio is just under 100 percent, and none of the recent sales closed above list price, a notable shift from last year when a meaningful share did.
Activity has slowed sharply, with homes sold over the past three months down more than 30 percent year over year and new listings falling almost 60 percent. At the same time, pending sales are up roughly 51 percent from a year ago, suggesting that buyers are still active even as overall volume is lower. With fewer listings, longer market times, and shifting price dynamics, both buyers and sellers in Madrid can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to help them navigate the current conditions and negotiate effectively.
Learn more about what Madrid has to offer.
Madrid offers residents a close-knit community with convenient amenities, strong schools, and abundant outdoor and cultural opportunities that make daily life engaging and comfortable.
Madrid stands apart from nearby Ames and Des Moines with its distinctly small-town rhythm and strong sense of local pride, yet it remains close enough for an easy commute. The community centers on a traditional main street, Friday night school events, and neighbors who tend to know one another by name.
Outdoor life is a major draw. The High Trestle Trail passes along the edge of town, bringing cyclists and walkers to local cafes and trailheads. Nearby Ledges State Park offers sandstone cliffs, hiking, and family picnics along the Des Moines River. In town, the Madrid Public Library and community events create a hub for all ages, from story time to seasonal festivals. Families appreciate the close-knit Madrid Community School District and its active support from parents and local businesses.
Housing in Madrid ranges from older homes on established streets to newer builds near the edge of town, giving both first-time buyers and move-up buyers options that can be hard to find in larger markets such as Polk County and Boone County. With interest in small communities growing across Iowa, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to move into Madrid or considering selling your longtime home, Agent Pronto connects you with a real estate professional who understands the local market and can help buyers and sellers act with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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.”
“He did an outstanding job for just starting in the business. He sold my house in under a month of being on the market. He then helped me search the surrounding area to find my current 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!”
“As a first time buyer, I was nervous of what to expect from a realtor. Rob absolutely exceeded my expectations of real estate agents— from the first day we met I could tell he genuinely cared about the state of the homes we looked at. He got me an awesome basket of gifts on closing day filled with home essentials. Thank you Rob! You’re excellent!”
“Luann, is great to work with very friendly. She made me feel comfortable and helped with each step easy. If you need a house fast go with her as she knows Waterloo very well in what areas are the best to purchase. Her office space is beautiful as well and we closed at her office. She will make you feel like a friend of hers and wants what is best for you and your home. Reach out to her for any buying or purchasing needs.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Kelsey went above and beyond for us in every way possible and was so consistent, informative, and kind throughout our whole first time buying process. You can tell she truly loves what she does and that made our experience so much more special. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Amanda was the perfect realtor for us buying our first home! We wanted someone who would be honest with us and help us throughout the process and Amanda did all of that and more. She was easy to work with, a great communicator and negotiator, and she helped us find our first home quicker than we ever anticipated. I was worried it would be such a long & stressful process and even at the times it was stressful, Amanda made it an enjoyable experience. We highly recommend working with her if you're looking to buy or sell your home!”
“When we inherited a house, we weren’t sure what to do next. Justin helped walk us thru the process and get a full price offer. We had a few snags along the way and Justin stepped in to handle and give advice. We appreciate Justin’s patience and responsiveness during this whole process. He was amazing and we would highly recommend!”
“Enjoyed working with Rich and his team. Our acreage sold quickly and we received multiple offers.”
“Julie really knows how to market a property and obtain a ton of exposure. She was extremely helpful and insightful in selling my house. She also really cares for her clients.”
