“We met with Isaiah early in our home search at an open house while visiting from out of town. He was very knowledgeable and patient answering our numerous questions and it felt like the right fit for us. He helped us immensely every step of the way, providing his expert opinion when asked, helping us better understand the market so we could adjust our expectations accordingly, and quickly and efficiently organizing open houses and private showings for the homes that fit our criteria. He was not pushy and did not rush the process which we both appreciated as first time home buyers. We were unfamiliar with the area and received recommendations from him for multiple mortgage brokers, inspection companies, and more providing us options for trusted people to work with without feeling pressured. When we landed on our home, he walked us through each step and advocated for us when unexpected issues arose. Our home buying process went more smoothly with Isaiah's guidance!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Pleasant Hill has tightened in this rolling three-month view, with active listings down nearly 15% year over year even as they inched up recently to 87 homes on the market. Contract activity is solid, as homes sold increased almost 18% from a year ago and pending sales also rose, indicating steady buyer demand flowing through the pipeline.
Home values are reacting to this mix of lower supply and stronger contract flow, with the typical home value up nearly 18% compared with a year earlier. List prices, however, are trending slightly lower year over year, suggesting sellers are calibrating their pricing even as closed-sale values move higher.
Time on market has lengthened notably in the latest rolling three-month period, holding at a median of 76 days compared with much quicker sales a year ago, yet months of supply has dropped sharply, reinforcing Pleasant Hill’s status as a seller’s market. Only about 11% of homes are selling above list and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100%, pointing to modest negotiation room for buyers. Whether you are a buyer navigating these shifts or a seller trying to price confidently, Agent Pronto can connect you with an agent who knows how to interpret Pleasant Hill’s numbers and act on them.
Learn more about what Pleasant Hill has to offer.
Pleasant Hill offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with excellent parks, convenient amenities, strong schools, and a safe, active lifestyle.
Pleasant Hill offers small city convenience with quick access to downtown Des Moines, Altoona, and Ankeny, making it attractive for commuters who value shorter drives and manageable traffic. Residents enjoy practical proximity to daily essentials, from grocery options and services along E University Avenue to neighborhood parks and schools.
Recreation is a major perk. Families appreciate Doanes Park for its ballfields, trails, and playgrounds, while the Pleasant Hill Public Library offers programs that make it easy to plug into the community. The Gay Lea Wilson Trail connects cyclists and runners to a broader regional trail network, enhancing outdoor access without a long drive.
Parents often focus on schools in the Southeast Polk Community School District, which serves much of Pleasant Hill and is a key factor in local home decisions. Dining and entertainment options nearby, including those in Des Moines and Altoona, expand choices for nights out while keeping home life grounded and manageable.
Housing ranges from established neighborhoods to newer developments, so pricing and property styles can vary block by block. A local agent who understands Pleasant Hill, the broader Polk County market, and how each pocket fits different lifestyles can simplify decisions. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with those local experts so each move is more informed and less stressful.

“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.”
“She did go really far out of her way to show a house and had really good input on things we didn't notice”
“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!”
“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!”
