Ankeny's home market, updated from Polk County Assessor records · 2026 year-to-date

Data through July 28, 2026, the latest Polk County Assessor sales we have. The monthly chart and quadrant figures run through late June.

The newest read: Polk County, September 2026

These are countywide listing numbers, not Ankeny sale prices, from Realtor.com via FRED. Why not fresher Ankeny sales? Polk County's public sales lookup shows nothing after July 28 for any town. Axios reported in March that the Assessor's office was moving to a new vendor system and some search tools could be missing for months. We'll add new sales as soon as the county posts them.
