Even though Des Moines' housing market is settling a tiny bit β sales are still happening faster than ever.
State of play: More homes are becoming available, so you don't have to search as frantically to get the perfect spot.
By the numbers: In June, there were 1,838 homes up for sale β a 6% improvement over 1,734 in May, according to the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors.
- That same month, the metro's median sale price was $254K.
- Median time on market: 3 days
1326 Cummins Parkway, Des Moines β $295,000

Why we love it: The split midcentury exterior is drool-worthy. Built in 1955, the interior of the home is updated for a modern feel, and has plenty of windows for natural light.
Neighborhood: Waveland
Realtor: Matt Mauro of RE/MAX Concepts
Specs: 3 bed/4 bath, 1,725 square feet
Notable features: The full stone wall in the living room, a giant kitchen island and a mudroom off the garage.
