Urbandale’s housing activity shows solid movement between new listings and homes going under contract. There were 284 homes for sale in February 2026, with 98 newly listed and 105 going pending. Inventory is down slightly by 0.35% from the prior month but still up 9.23% compared with last year, indicating more options than a year ago.
Prices are adjusting while activity stays steady. The typical home value is about $353,000, which is 11.71% higher than a year ago even though it dipped 5.49% from the prior month, and the projected typical value for March is $342,750 with a projected median list price holding at $350,000. Homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up 27.42% month over month and 38.6% year over year to reach 79 days, suggesting buyers have more time to decide even in a seller-leaning environment.
Conditions still favor sellers overall, with Urbandale rated a 27 on the Seller's Market gauge and about 26.53% of homes selling above list, while the average sale-to-list ratio stands near 98.75%. Around 20.07% of listings saw a price drop, indicating some room for negotiation despite the advantage sellers hold. Compared with Polk County’s typical home value of about $276,000 and softer countywide trends, Urbandale’s pricing looks stronger, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from having Agent Pronto connect them with an agent who understands these dynamics.
