Fairmeadows is seeing a small but active pool of homes, with just 6 properties on the market and 7 new listings in February 2026. Buyers moved quickly, putting 7 homes under contract and keeping the median time on market down to 15.5 days. Compared with last year, inventory has grown sharply, up about 200 percent, even as new listings and pending sales have each slipped around 12.5 percent.
Prices are adjusting to these shifts in activity. The typical home value in Fairmeadows is about $258,500, up 3.4 percent from a year ago but down 6.0 percent from the prior month, while the median list price has inched higher to roughly $279,900, a 2.34 percent monthly increase. On average, homes are selling for about 98 percent of list price, and very few are closing above asking.
Compared with the broader West Des Moines market, where typical values are closer to $338,495, Fairmeadows offers relatively more affordable options while still behaving like a strong seller’s market. The local market gauge sits at 9, indicating that limited supply and quick sales continue to give sellers the upper hand, even as pricing shows signs of recalibration.
