Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Polk County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026).
Inventory in Polk County has been edging higher, with active listings up slightly from a year ago while new listings have actually slipped over that same period. At the same time, contract activity is brisk, as homes sold climbed more than 15 percent year over year and pending sales jumped over 22 percent, indicating buyers are acting on the available options.
Pricing is responding to this push and pull, with the typical home value down nearly 15 percent from last year even as the median list price is up almost 8 percent. Compared with the Missouri statewide median sale price, Polk County sits at a lower price point, which may be attracting budget-conscious buyers.
Time on market has shortened dramatically, dropping from 98 days in March to 55 days in April as months of supply fell from 5.6 to 3.7, reinforcing the current seller’s market reading. With no recent sales closing above list price, though, buyers still have room to negotiate, and both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in connecting with a local agent who understands these shifting conditions.
