DES MOINES / THE MARKET IN CONTEXT
A place to start.
A home to investigate.
August 2026 DMAAR seven-county reference · Source published 2026-09-11 · Checked October 25, 2026.
DMAAR primary service area: Dallas, Polk, Warren, Jasper, Marion, Madison and Guthrie counties; not City of Des Moines-only. Residential Des Moines-area market report. The original table distinguishes August 2026 from August 2025; the narrative contains an inconsistent comparator year. Only table-defined current-month levels are reproduced. Dated regional context, not city-only, current inventory, a valuation or mortgage terms. Original market source ↗

Stress future index assumptions and rate caps without presenting a forecast.
05 ↗Temporary buydown funding

Rate & Holding-Period Desk
A lower rate.

DES MOINES / CLEAR ANSWERS
Keep the local questions in view.
Is the market snapshot for the City of Des Moines?
No. The August 2026 DMAAR table covers its primary seven-county service area. It is not a city-only series and does not refer to Des Moines County.
Are Iowa’s announced November terms already active?
The official notice says changes take effect November 2, 2026. At this October 25 review that date is still ahead. Confirm the rules that govern the actual reservation and closing.
Does an NFC reference mean every Des Moines property qualifies?
No. NFC identifies designated areas and a property locator. The actual property, applicant, project and funding proposal need NFC’s own review; MITEY has reserved no funds.
