The Ankeny housing market entered September 2026 with a median sale price of approximately $345,000. Homes recorded a 36-day median cumulative market time, while 164 new listings entered the market during the month. Median asking prices were approximately $344,000, with list prices averaging about $236 per square foot.
For buyers, increased fall inventory can create more opportunity to compare homes, condition, and location before making an offer. For sellers, pricing remains especially important as homes compete with additional inventory entering the market.
As a retired real estate appraiser and Realtor, I help Ankeny buyers and sellers look beyond the asking price—comparing recent sales, property condition, location, improvements, and resale potential before making a decision.
