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

Year-over-year, Zearing’s rolling three-month data shows falling sale prices but rising asking prices. The typical home value over the period is about 12% lower than a year ago, while the median list price is more than 23% higher. Homes sold have roughly doubled compared with last year, indicating more completed deals even as pricing patterns shift.

In the latest three-month window ending in May 2026, very low inventory is shaping conditions, with only 4 active listings and about 1.6 months of supply. Pending sales are up more than 50% from a year earlier, suggesting more buyers are getting under contract despite the constrained number of new listings.

Selling a home in Zearing now can take time, with the median days on market over this rolling period rising sharply to 212 days, even though the average sale-to-list ratio is still slightly above 103%. None of the recent sales closed above list price, a contrast with late 2025 when a significant share did, pointing to more measured buyer behavior. With new listings down nearly 75% year over year in this view, both pricing and timing decisions matter more than ever. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can use Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands Zearing’s current dynamics.



Learn more about what Zearing has to offer.

Zearing offers its residents a warm, close-knit community with small-town charm, safe streets, and easy access to local events and outdoor spaces in a peaceful rural setting.

Zearing feels distinct from nearby hubs like Ames and Marshalltown by offering a quieter, close-knit setting while still keeping those larger job centers and amenities within an easy drive. Daily life tends to revolve around school events, local sports, and community traditions, giving residents a sense of familiarity that can be hard to find in bigger cities.

Outdoor time is important here. Residents enjoy the nearby Dakins Lake Park with its trails, fishing, and camping, as well as quick access to broader recreation in Story County. Families appreciate being part of the Colo-NESCO Community School District, where smaller class sizes and local involvement shape the school experience. The Zearing Public Library adds another focal point, offering programs that connect neighbors across generations.

Zearing appeals to people who want manageable property sizes, practical homes, and the ability to know their neighbors, yet still commute to larger employers in places like Nevada or Story County. For buyers, preparation is key, since well-kept homes can move quickly in a smaller market. Sellers benefit from thoughtful pricing, smart timing, and local insight into what makes each property stand out. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who understands Zearing’s community character and can help you make the most of your move.

“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!”
