Des Moines is Iowa's capital and largest city — a Midwestern metro punching above its weight with a thriving insurance industry, a growing tech sector, and neighborhoods that range from the Victorian-era Sherman Hill to the suburban West Des Moines and Ankeny corridors. It's a stable, affordable market with genuine buyer demand.
Des Moines's median sits around $225,000 with 30 days on market. The city's insurance and financial services economy provides employment stability, but Iowa's aging housing stock — especially in older Des Moines neighborhoods — creates consistent demand for buyers willing to take on condition-challenged properties.

Much of Des Moines's housing stock includes Victorian-era and craftsman homes in urban neighborhoods. We don't need move-in ready. Sell exactly as it sits — deferred maintenance, outdated systems, code issues — we still make an offer.
At $225,000, a 6% commission = $13,500. Add repairs, staging, and concessions and the true cost climbs higher. We charge zero fees — what we offer is what you keep.
