How Iowa compares
At $261,500, the median Iowa listing is 29% below the national median of $370,000, making Iowa the 9th least expensive of the 50 states in the game. Per square foot, Iowa homes list for about $173 versus $221 nationally — the 13th least expensive on that measure.
Tips for guessing Iowa prices
A handy rule of thumb: at $173 per square foot, a 2,000 sq ft Iowa home would list somewhere near $346K — before you adjust for location, condition, lot size and finishes.
Expect a wide spread: Iowa listings in the game start around $50K and run as high as $4.75M, so the photos matter as much as the averages.
Where the Iowa listings are
Des Moines, Davenport and Iowa City have the most Iowa homes in the game. Big-city listings and small-town ones can sit far apart on price, so the location badge is worth a look before you guess.
- Des Moines · 124 listings

How the game works
Each round shows a real listing's photos, beds, baths and square footage. Drag the slider to your best price guess — the closer you land, the more of the 1,000 points you keep. Prices stay hidden until you lock in, so there's no peeking.
The daily challenge is free: five listings, the same for every player, drawn from all over the country — so Iowa homes turn up alongside everywhere else. Solo play lets you filter the pool down to a single state if you want to drill your home market.
