Selling in West Des Moines

A suburb with real range, from Valley Junction to Jordan Creek.


West Des Moines is one of the metro’s largest suburbs, with a 2020 Census population of 68,723 and continued growth since then. Housing character changes block by block. Historic Valley Junction still has craftsman bungalows, Victorian two-stories and a walkable Fifth Street district of independent shops and restaurants. Mid-century and later homes fill established corridors around Ashworth and Westridge. Newer product, townhomes and apartments cluster nearer Jordan Creek Town Center and the Maple Grove growth area. Higher-end buyers also look at gated and golf-course pockets such as Glen Oaks and Wellington Ridge, and at Country Club–area homes near Des Moines Golf and Country Club.

That mix matters when you sell. A renovated bungalow near Valley Junction is not marketed the same way as a newer executive home off the Jordan Creek corridor. The pricing story, photo plan, prep list and buyer pool all shift with the property. RAW starts with a free consultation on your specific address, then builds a listing plan around that home, not a generic suburb template.

Schools sellers should know

Most of West Des Moines is served by West Des Moines Community School District, including Valley High School and its junior high and elementary feeders. A smaller portion of the city in Dallas County falls in Waukee Community School District. Private options such as Dowling Catholic High School and St. Francis of Assisi also draw families in the western suburbs. School assignment is address-specific; confirm boundaries with the district before you price or list.

What a flat fee listing looks like here

RAW’s Full-Service Flat-Fee Listing is $4,895 + brokerage fees. Applicable brokerage fees, including a brokerage transaction fee, are added; the dollar amount of that brokerage transaction fee is in the listing agreement. Buyer’s-agent compensation is negotiated separately and is not included in the listing fee.

For that flat fee you get full-service representation from launch to close: a professional pricing and marketing strategy, a prep punch list and staging plan, professional photography, an MLS listing (DMAAR) active on popular home-search sites, a yard sign, Realtor® lockbox access for showings, showing feedback requested automatically after every showing, a weekly Monday seller report, price-review triggers set at launch plus a 30-day review, professional negotiation advice, and coordinated closing and abstracting. Open houses are available when they fit your home. Listings are with LPT Realty, LLC. There are no upfront fees.

For luxury, acreage and architecturally distinctive West Des Moines homes, RAW Signature adds $2,895 ($7,790 + applicable brokerage fees total) for a higher-production launch: cinematic video, drone and twilight photography, floor plans or a 3D tour where appropriate, a custom property website, premium brochure, open-house campaign assets, enhanced social launch with paid ads, and outreach to luxury agents.
