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

Year-over-year, Des Moines home values in this rolling three-month view have edged down, with the typical home value off a bit compared with last year. At the same time, sellers are asking more, as the median list price is up over 4 percent from a year ago, pointing to steady seller confidence even as buyers look for value.

Inventory trends show more homes being listed but not necessarily more being sold. New listings have jumped by about a quarter compared with last year, yet active listings are roughly flat and homes sold are down, suggesting buyers have more options but are moving selectively.

Speed and pricing dynamics underline that this is still a seller-leaning environment, with only about two months of supply and a median of eight days on market, much faster than a year ago. Roughly one-third of recent sales closed above the asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100 percent, signaling that well-priced homes can still attract strong offers. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands the Des Moines market.

“Selling this home was one of the biggest and most emotional transitions of our lives. It wasn’t just a house, it was my childhood home, filled with decades of family memories, and Marv understood that from day one. This sale involved far more than simply listing a property. There were improvements, contractors, inspections, negotiations, title questions, and countless moving pieces leading up to closing. Throughout it all, Marv remained steady, responsive, and focused on solutions whenever challenges arose. What we appreciated most was his ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. During moments when the process felt overwhelming or emotional, he helped us stay focused on the bigger picture and guided us with patience and experience. By the end, we didn’t just feel like we had successfully sold our home, we felt supported through an important life transition. We are deeply grateful for everything Marv did and would recommend him without hesitation.”

“For the past 10 years, Jim Aklin has been our trusted realtor for both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to understand any market and create the right strategy for success. Our most recent experience with Jim was selling our condo in April 2026. Even in a slower market, with multiple similar condos competing against ours, Jim’s expertise made all the difference. He provided valuable staging recommendations, priced our home correctly, and within just 30 days found a couple who purchased our condo at the price we were hoping for. What truly sets Jim apart is his personal approach. He genuinely cares about his clients and brings a level of trust, communication, and dedication that makes the entire process seamless. Hands down, the best buying and selling experiences we’ve had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“Lian was an amazing realtor! What a great find! We are moving to Seattle from Baltimore, and we were able to easily connect with Lian and trusted him from the start. All of our showings had to be on FaceTime, and Lian did a wonderful job showing us everything he could from 3,000 miles away! We fell in love with a house, he helped us through the closing process, and we had confidence in him every step of the way. We will absolutely use Lian again if we move, but since he helped us find such a perfect house, we hopefully won't need to! I would absolutely recommend Lian to anyone!”

“My daughter and I enlisted Lindsay Jackman due to a strong local referral. Throughout the process of preparing the house for sale, strategizing, listing, and conversations with potential buyers; Lindsay was on it!! She handled every phase of the sale perfectly! We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome of the sale, and with our opportunity to work with a true professional in the Tacoma/Seattle area. I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly!

“We just celebrated our first month since closing on our condo in Point Ruston, WA. Nikki was instrumental and amazing to work with throughout the entire purchase process - and somehow made the whole experience smooth and seamless. She was quick to respond to our many emails/texts and always answered our calls. Additionally, she made it a priority to give us frequent updates while working through the underwriting process and really worked hard to get us answers quickly to the many questions we had as they came up. I highly recommend Nikki for anyone wanting to work with a realtor who is professional, clearly cares about representing her clients, and will go above and beyond to help them through the entire home buying process.”
