Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Inventory in Patterson is relatively limited, with only about a handful of active listings in the latest rolling three-month view. Homes are taking about two months to sell, a bit quicker than a year ago as median days on market dipped. At the same time, pending sales doubled compared with last year, signaling that more buyers are moving forward when suitable homes appear.
Pricing has shifted noticeably over the past year. The typical home value in the rolling three-month period is up by roughly half compared with the same time last year, showing that closed sales are occurring at significantly higher price points.
Balance between supply and demand has tilted somewhat toward sellers, with months of supply higher than a year ago yet still supporting a seller’s market overall. Homes are typically selling very close to list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under full asking and virtually no properties closing above list, suggesting that pricing is aligned with buyer expectations. With only one sale closing in the most recent three-month window and just a few properties available at any time, each listing can have an outsized impact on local statistics. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands the Patterson market.
Learn more about what Patterson has to offer.
Patterson offers residents a close-knit community with convenient local amenities, pleasant parks, and regular hometown events that foster neighborly connection.
Patterson feels distinctly rural and close knit compared with larger nearby communities like West Des Moines or Winterset. Here, neighbors tend to know one another, gravel roads are part of daily life, and open fields define the skyline. Many residents value the quiet setting and easy access to bigger town amenities along Highway 169 and into the Des Moines metro.
Life here often revolves around Madison County traditions. Residents head to Winterset City Park and the famous covered bridges, attend small school events through the Winterset Community School District, or spend weekends exploring nearby Badger Creek State Recreation Area for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Daily routines frequently include quick trips into Madison County hubs for groceries, services, and local diners.
Homes in Patterson range from long held family properties to acreages and newer builds that appeal to buyers seeking space and privacy. Inventory can be limited, so serious buyers benefit from clear priorities about land, outbuildings, and commute times to places like Norwalk or Van Meter. Sellers gain an advantage by understanding how their property compares to options in Earlham or Martensdale, and by preparing for appraisals that reflect both house and land value.
In a small market like Patterson, timing, pricing, and local insight matter. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who knows how to navigate this unique rural community.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Working with Alfonso was the single best realtor experience I've ever had. He facilitated everything long distance and made the process a breeze. He worked tirelessly on our behalf and was extremely knowledgable, thorough, professional and throughout it all, polite, courteous and candid. Alfonso's extensive background and knowledge of local real estate helped immensely. His vast network of skilled tradespeople made the entire process of selling our home painless from listing, through inspection, all the way to closing. I cannot recommend Alfonso enough. Thank you for the amazing partnership, Alfonso!”
