Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Newton currently registers as a seller’s market, with a market gauge of 22 and only 2.4 months of supply in this rolling three-month view through September 2026. With homes typically valued around $194,907 and the average sale-to-list ratio at 97 percent, sellers still hold some pricing power even as conditions shift.
Underlying trends help explain this balance. Homes sold are up more than 60 percent year over year, while active listings have risen nearly 12 percent, so more properties are both available and changing hands. At the same time, median days on market have increased to 38 days from much faster paces a year ago, signaling that buyers have a bit more time to decide, even though about 30 percent of listings still go under contract within two weeks.
Pricing and listing activity show a nuanced picture for both sides. Median list price has climbed more than 10 percent year over year, yet the typical home value is slightly lower than a year ago, and the share of homes selling above list has dipped to 13 percent, suggesting buyers have more room to negotiate than before. New listings are roughly flat year over year, so each well-priced home can still draw attention, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate Newton’s changing conditions.

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, I felt like I was working with someone who genuinely cared about me and what I was looking for—not just someone trying to close a deal. Isaiah was always there when I had questions, he kept me informed throughout the process, and made me feel comfortable even when things got stressful. I really appreciated his patience, honesty, and willingness to go the extra mile. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having the right person by your side makes such a difference. I’m so grateful for all their help and for making the whole experience such a positive one. I would absolutely recommend Isaiah Thomas to anyone looking to buy or sell a home! 🏡❤️”

“Justin was very helpful and always on top of getting documents sent, answering questions, finding listings and more. He was very polite and always on time.”
RE/MAX Precision
“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.”
RE/MAX Precision
“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.”

“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!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Matt Cole. He is incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and always so responsive. He made what is normally a very stressful process—selling and buying a home—feel completely seamless. From start to finish, he supported us every step of the way and we always felt confident knowing he had our best interests in mind. Even beyond the transaction, his thoughtfulness truly stood out—our housewarming gift was so personal and meaningful. Honestly, the only downside to being done with the process is that it means we don’t get to see him as much anymore. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
RE/MAX ReMax Concepts
“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!”

“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.”
Iowa Realty
“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.”
Iowa Realty
“I work for a new construction builder in the Des Moines metro. Crossed paths with Kristina as her buyers were looking into a townhome in Altoona. We quickly had great conversation and she simply gave me the time of day. She made me feel heard and appreciated from day 1 all the way till closing on her buyers' home. She is knowledgeable, professional, outgoing and extremely personable. I would definitely recommend her to any unrepresented buyers or friends and family. We worked extremely well together. She was awesome!”
Iowa Realty
“Anne is a rock star! She went above and beyond to make the selling process smooth as possible. From start to finish, Anne was super positive and helpful and honest above everything. I am so grateful she was my realtor :)”

“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.”
