Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Year over year, Poweshiek County’s typical home value has climbed more than 23 percent, far outpacing the roughly 4 percent gain seen across Iowa. Median list prices are up nearly 35 percent from last September, signaling that sellers are testing higher price points. At the same time, homes are taking about 4 percent longer to sell than a year ago.
In the latest monthly snapshot for September 2026, the typical home value stands around $249,000, with a median list price near $275,000. Inventory has grown to 149 active listings and months of supply has surged to 8.3, well above the statewide level of 3.4 months, reinforcing Poweshiek County’s status as a buyer’s market.
Even with higher prices, buyer activity has cooled considerably, with homes sold down nearly 52 percent and pending sales off almost 56 percent from last year. Properties that do sell are generally closing below asking, as the average sale-to-list ratio sits under 94 percent and only about 7 percent of sales close above list price. Quicker marketing times compared with recent months, including a median of 35 days on market and nearly one-third of homes going off-market within two weeks, show that well-priced homes still attract attention. In a market where buyers have leverage but pricing is shifting quickly, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right local agent to guide their decisions.
Learn more about what Poweshiek County has to offer.
Poweshiek County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with quality schools, vibrant local businesses, abundant outdoor recreation, and a rich agricultural heritage that supports families and opportunities for growth.
Poweshiek County stands out from larger neighbors like Iowa County and Jasper County with its blend of small town stability and a nationally known college community. Grinnell, home to Grinnell College, brings concerts, lectures, and galleries, while nearby towns such as Montezuma and Brooklyn offer quieter streets, strong local ties, and a more traditional rural pace.
Residents enjoy easy access to outdoor space. Rock Creek State Park is popular for paddling, fishing, and camping, and the Grinnell Area Recreation Trail connects parks and neighborhoods for walkers and cyclists. In town, the Drake Community Library and Poweshiek County Courthouse in Montezuma anchor civic life, while local spots like Frontier Cafe in Brooklyn highlight the county’s everyday social hubs.
Housing choices range from historic homes near downtown Grinnell to acreages and farmsteads outside Malcom. Prices and inventory can differ sharply between communities, and the market is influenced by both local employers and the college calendar. Whether you are planning a move across town or into Poweshiek County for the first time, connecting early with a knowledgeable agent can help you prepare, time your listing or offer, and navigate this varied market. Agent Pronto can introduce both buyers and sellers to the right local professional.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“Roxanne did an awesome job through the whole process of searching for and buying a house. She was very responsive, kind, patient, gave great advice, and went above and beyond to help us!”

“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.”

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!”

“I am particular with what I like and don’t like. John was very patient. Each time we would look at a house he would check to see if this is what we liked, could we see ourselves in the home. Any concerns I had, John was always prompt to follow up with me. I felt like at the time I was his only client.”
