Des Moines' priciest home sales of 2022

Des Moines metro home pricing finally hit its ceiling in 2022 after several years of spikes.

• That's according to a new year-end report published by Les Sulgrove, a local realtor and former president of the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors.

Zoom in: Sulgrove uses a valuation model of an existing DSM residence's to estimate what an average home is currently worth.

• That peaked at around $325K during the last quarter of 2022 and is now around $310K, his data shows.
