Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).

Roland is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge signaling a strong seller’s market. Only four active listings are available in this rolling three‑month period, and new listings are down more than 90 percent year over year. With so few homes to choose from, buyers face limited options even as prices shift.

Home values show a mixed picture in this rolling view. The typical home value is about $233,600, down more than 12 percent from a year ago, while the median list price has fallen even more sharply, dropping over 24 percent year over year. Despite softer pricing, the average sale-to-list ratio sits around 96 percent, indicating sellers are still achieving close to their asking prices.

Activity has cooled substantially compared with last year, with homes sold and pending sales both down by more than half on a year-over-year basis. Homes are also sitting on the market much longer, with median days on market up dramatically to 84 days, and none of the recent sales closed above list price. Conditions like these can be tricky to navigate, so both buyers and sellers in Roland can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a real estate agent who knows how to work this evolving market.



Learn more about what Roland has to offer.

Roland offers residents a close-knit, welcoming community with convenient local amenities, good schools, ample outdoor spaces, and plentiful opportunities to connect through active neighborhoods and local events.

Roland combines small town ease with quick access to larger hubs, offering a quieter alternative to nearby Ames and Nevada while staying closely connected to both. Many residents commute for work or school, yet Roland retains a strong identity rooted in local traditions, neighborhood connections, and support for its schools and businesses.

At the center of community life is the Roland-Story Community School District, which draws families who value academics, athletics, and shared activities. Weeknights often revolve around school events, youth sports, and gatherings at places like Norway Park, where playgrounds, ballfields, and picnic areas give neighbors plenty of reasons to meet up. Local organizations and churches add another layer of connection, helping new arrivals feel at home quickly.

Outdoor lovers appreciate the short drive to the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail for biking and walking, and to amenities in Story County such as Hickory Grove Park. Everyday errands are simple, and larger retail and dining options in Ames and beyond remain conveniently close. Residents also keep up with local services and events through the city’s website.

Whether you are weighing a move to Roland or planning a change across town, timing and preparation are essential in this close-knit market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a real estate agent who understands Roland’s rhythms and is ready to help both buyers and sellers move with confidence.

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”
