Waukee's housing market and new-construction lot sales, from Dallas County records and market data · 2026 year-to-date

The market at a glance

A quick honesty note: Waukee sits in Dallas County, not Polk, and Dallas County's assessor does not publish a per-sale existing-home feed the way Polk does for Ankeny and Johnston. So the top-line market stats below are Redfin and Zillow aggregates, while the lot-sale figures further down are real, self-pulled county records.

New-construction lot sales, 2026

Straight from the Dallas County Assessor's public "Urban Residential Lots" sales file. This tracks new subdivision lot sales (the land, mostly pre-construction), not resale of existing homes, but it is real and it shows exactly where Waukee is platting and building.

Data through Sep 25, 2026 (the latest recording date on the county file we pulled Oct 18, 2026). The county posts sales after they are recorded, so the newest weeks fill in late.

Lot sales by month (count)

April was the busiest platting month. September only runs through the Sep 25 recording date, and recent months can still fill in as the county records more sales.

Per-lot pricing

Busiest streets this year by number of sales: NW Creekside Dr (9 sales), NW Sproul Dr (6), and Fieldstone Dr, NW Georgetown Dr, NW Alderleaf Dr and NW Atlas Lane (4 each). By lots, Mongoose Lane (22), Paradise Ln (20) and NW Creekside Dr (19) lead.

Waukee housing: FAQ

What is the median home price in Waukee, Iowa?

Because Waukee is in Dallas County, the county assessor does not publish a per-sale existing-home feed, so home prices come from listing aggregators. In early 2026, Redfin put the median sale price around $355,000 (down about 4% year over year) and Zillow's average home value near $347,000. So much of the stock is new construction that Waukee runs pricier than the metro average.

How many new-construction lots are selling in Waukee?

Through the Sep 25, 2026 recording date on the county file, we counted 72 recorded lot-sale transactions year-to-date, totaling roughly $17.80 million, median about $135,000 per transaction. Many are multi-lot bulk sales to builders, so per-transaction is not per-lot; those 72 transactions cover close to 200 individual residential lots.

Where is the new construction happening in Waukee?

The recorded lot sales cluster in Waukee's newer northwest and west subdivisions, on streets like NW Sproul Drive, NW Creekside Drive, NW Rolling Circle, Fieldstone Drive, and Mongoose Lane, plus platting around Kettlestone. It reflects how fast the west and north edges of town are still being built out.

Where does this housing data come from?

The lot-sale figures are pulled from the Dallas County Assessor's public Urban Residential Lots sales records. The home-price stats are Redfin and Zillow aggregates. For the tax side of owning here, see our property taxes guide.

What county handles property records for Waukee?

Waukee is in Dallas County, not Polk. So the assessor, recorder, and property-tax records for a Waukee home run through Dallas County offices in Adel, which is also why Dallas County does not publish the same per-sale existing-home feed that Polk County does for Ankeny and Johnston.
