Cities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Great Falls metro area
Zillow data show the metro’s top cities gained as much as 74.1% in five years, while higher mortgage rates cooled growth in some areas.
As of Tuesday, September 22, 2026, residential property values in the Ames, IA, metro area are rising. This growth is driven by consistent buyer demand and a constrained local housing supply.
Mirroring broader national trends, the typical home value in the United States rose 1.3% compared to the previous year. This reflects the ongoing market appreciation seen across the country.
Kelley, IA, currently reports the highest typical home value in the metro at $348,958. Cambridge, IA, follows that market leader with a typical home value of $347,472.
Persistent competition for limited housing stock continues to put upward pressure on prices. Prospective homeowners in the region struggle to find sufficient available inventory.
Data indicates that the overall pace of price appreciation is beginning to moderate. Although the pandemic-era market surge is still evident, the overall rate of growth is starting to slow.
