The most recent week's top sales:
In 2026, Ankeny's median sale price has been running in the low-to-mid $300,000s (year-to-date roughly $320K-$340K). The current figure is at the top of this dashboard, refreshed weekly from Polk County Assessor records.
By quadrant, the NW is typically the priciest (median in the mid-$340,000s) and the SE is the value corner (high-$200,000s). The NE sees the most sales - it's where most new construction is going up.
Several hundred and climbing year-to-date - the running count is in the cards above. New construction makes up roughly a fifth of all sales, a sign of how fast the town is still growing.
