Think You Know Ankeny? | Real Estate Market Update

by Peter Jones

The Ankeny housing market is shifting — and if you’re buying, selling, or just watching the numbers, you need to hear this.

I’m Pete Jones, and this is your no-fluff, data-backed Real Estate Reality Check for Spring/Summer 2025.

📊 In the past six months, 1,300+ homes in Ankeny have sold, gone pending, or hit the market.

The average sale price is currently around $395,000, but properties range from just over $100K to nearly $5 million — giving buyers a wide spectrum of options.

But here's the shocker:

🏡 Homes are now sitting on the market for an average of 162 days — much longer than most sellers expect. That’s a serious red flag if your strategy isn’t dialed in.

🔥 At the same time, 212 new listings hit the market just this past month — meaning inventory is growing, but competition is heating up too.

Whether you're looking to list for top dollar or find a great buy without overpaying, timing and pricing are everything in this market.

In this video, I break down:

• The latest Ankeny housing data and trends

• Why homes are sitting so long

• What buyers should be doing now before demand spikes

• The biggest pricing mistakes sellers are making

• How to plan a power move — not just a fast one
