Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Runnells has seen a sharp upswing in values, with the typical home value up nearly 40 percent in this rolling three-month view. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list price has jumped to 100 percent, and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged past 101 percent, underscoring firm pricing power for sellers.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, conditions show both strength and some cooling in activity. Only one home sold and one new listing came to market, while median days on market lengthened to about 110 days, indicating that properties often sit longer even as prices have risen.
Inventory dynamics have shifted noticeably over the past year, with months of supply rising to about 3.2, up sharply from a year ago, and active listings holding around four. With pending sales up compared with last year, yet overall sales lower, buyers and sellers benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who can navigate pricing, timing, and strategy in this evolving Runnells market.

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”
