Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Marshall County home values and asking prices have moved up solidly, with the typical home value and median list price both rising more than 13 percent. By contrast, Iowa as a whole has seen sale prices grow at a slower pace of under 4 percent, underscoring how much quicker prices have climbed locally.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, the median days on market has fallen to 22 days, down about a week from a year ago, pointing to faster-moving sales. Inventory remains tight at 1.6 months of supply, well below the statewide level of 3.4 months, even though active listings have ticked up month over month.
September also shows mixed signals in activity, with homes sold up slightly year over year while pending sales are down more than 30 percent compared with last year. At the same time, nearly 28 percent of homes are closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is close to 98 percent, reflecting firm pricing for sellers and limited bargaining room for buyers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands the Marshall County market.

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”
Hunziker & Associates, REALTORS
“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!”
Keller Williams Siouxland & Okoboji
“Toren was absolutely great with our home buying process. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to buying a new home. He was non-biased and gave us honest input, regardless of the condition of the home. He took our family into consideration, we have a one year old, and a small dog. Toren always kept that in mind when he was showing us a home. He was always flexible and found time for us, regardless of the situation. 10/10 would (and will) recommend him to any friend or family member that needs a realtor.”
