June 2026 Housing Market Update Answers!

Why aren't home prices falling when there are more homes for sale?

That's the question I explore in this month's June 2026 Des Moines housing market update. While inventory continues to grow, the numbers tell a more complete story—one that may surprise both buyers and sellers.

Each month, my goal isn't simply to report the latest real estate statistics. It's to help you understand what those numbers actually mean, so you can make more confident real estate decisions.

In this June update, we'll look at: • Active Listings • Closed Sales • Pending Sales • Median Sales Price • Days on Market

More importantly, we'll explore why one statistic never tells the whole story and what June's market is teaching us about the relationship between supply and demand.

Whether you're buying your first home, preparing to sell, relocating to Central Iowa, or simply keeping an eye on the local market, I hope these monthly updates help you better understand what's happening in our community.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in the Des Moines metro, I'd be happy to help you understand what these numbers mean for your specific situation.
