Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Marshalltown’s rolling three-month numbers show a market with fewer choices but steady movement. Active listings are down more than 20% from a year ago, while homes sold slipped only about 6%. Pending sales also declined year over year, pointing to slightly softer contract activity than last fall.
Pricing over this rolling period has adjusted from last year’s peaks. The typical home value is down about 5% year over year, even as the median list price is modestly higher than a year ago, suggesting sellers are still testing pricing while buyers negotiate. Despite that, the average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 98%, with only a small uptick from last year, showing that final sale prices generally stay close to asking.
Speed and supply figures underline that Marshalltown still favors sellers, though conditions are easing at the margins. Median days on market sits at 17, a bit faster than a year ago, and more than half of homes go off the market within two weeks, yet months of supply has dropped sharply from last year to just 1.4 months. A smaller share of homes is selling above list compared with last year, indicating buyers have slightly more leverage than before. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands Marshalltown’s current dynamics.
Learn more about what Marshalltown has to offer.
Marshalltown offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with accessible amenities, quality schools, vibrant local events, and abundant outdoor and cultural opportunities that enrich everyday life.
Marshalltown immediately feels distinct from larger neighbors like Des Moines and Ames thanks to its tight knit scale and strong sense of local identity. It is large enough to offer diverse neighborhoods and amenities, yet small enough that people recognize one another at community events and in line at the grocery store.
Downtown Marshalltown is in the midst of a thoughtful revival, with historic architecture, local shops, and gathering spots near the Marshalltown Public Library. Cultural life is anchored by the Marshalltown Community School District and venues such as the MHS/Community Auditorium, which host concerts, performances, and community meetings that keep residents connected.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the access to Riverview Park along the Iowa River, where trails, ballfields, and picnic areas support active lifestyles. Families and commuters also value the convenient reach to regional job centers in Story County and Polk County while coming home to quieter streets and established neighborhoods.
Housing options range from classic early 20th century homes near the core to newer developments on the edge of town, appealing to first time buyers, move up households, and long time residents planning their next chapter. Whether you are preparing to list a property or hoping to buy before the next school year, timing and preparation matter in Marshalltown’s evolving market. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with the right local real estate professional to navigate that process confidently.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Matt did a great job on selling my property. The advertising was excellent and didn't need to lower the price”

“I cannot recommend Kathy Miller with RE/MAX Precision highly enough. I live 3,000 miles away from my 87-year-old parents and was devastated that I couldn't be there in person to help them sell their long-time (40 years!) home and purchase a new one—a monumental task in itself! Kathy didn't just act as their realtor; she became a trusted protector and guide. She took the time to explain every detail patiently to them both, kept me informed across time zones, and handled both transactions with incredible grace and professionalism. Kathy went above and beyond by helping them downsize—even sitting down with them to gently suggest what furniture to take to the new house and what to sell. From beautifully presenting their home and connecting them with movers for the heavy lifting, to conquering big, last-minute details, Kathy was there every step of the way—sharing in their excitement through all the hard work. Knowing my parents were in such safe, ethical, and capable hands gave our entire family complete peace of mind. If you want an agent who delivers flawless results, look no further.”

“Ryan is, above all else, kind and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about the people he works with and about the community he lives in. He thinks about the impact of his decisions, and he has never treated real estate like it's just another transaction. I've worked with Ryan through several transactions and have watched him repeatedly make decisions that meant less profit for himself because doing the right thing mattered more. That's not something you see every day, and it's one of the reasons I trust him so deeply. I've also seen him go far beyond what anyone would expect of a realtor—helping clients and community members in ways that have nothing to do with making a sale. He shows up for people simply because it's who he is. Ryan is truly good. He's a gift to his clients and to our community. People trust him because he leads with empathy, integrity, and a genuine desire to leave people better than he found them. If you have the chance to work with him, I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We met Toni at a showing and got a great vibe from her. She was patient and worked to understand what we were looking for in a home. She brought certain homes to our attention that had the key points we mentioned. It was relieving having someone on our team during this stressful process. She would jump to show or talk about things at ANY time. She is definitely a go-to person. Very reliable.”

“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!”

“Julie Campbell is our family real estate go to girl. The agent our ENTIRE family has used for several years. She's a quality individual who gets results and works tirelessly to achieve the desired outcome. I highly recommend her in to everyone all things real estate related.”
Iowa Realty
“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.”
