What These Numbers Mean for Marion Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows a Marion market that currently favors sellers, though the picture is more nuanced than a single number suggests. With months of supply at just 1.4 and 53.6% of homes leaving the market within two weeks, well-priced listings move quickly and buyers face real competition. The median sale price sits at $287,363, having moved -1.6% year over year, and the sale-to-list ratio of 99.90% confirms that most sellers are capturing close to their asking price. About 33.0% of homes closed above list, so buyers competing for the most desirable properties should expect to bring their strongest terms early.
At the same time, the leverage is not absolute. Roughly 22.6% of active listings recorded a price reduction, which signals that overpriced homes still sit and correct. Median days on market registered 10, a -11 days change in market time, so buyers who wait for a price adjustment on lingering inventory have a workable path. For sellers, the data argues for disciplined pricing at the outset rather than testing the ceiling, since the fastest sales and above-list outcomes concentrate on homes priced correctly from day one.
With 99 active listings against 184 pending sales each month, demand continues to outpace supply across the 52302 area. Working through these dynamics is where representation matters. Marion has 315 licensed agents, and understanding who consistently negotiates favorable terms in this environment is central to the value an experienced agent provides.

What to Look for in a Marion Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines results: a documented record of closings and negotiated outcomes. In a market where 33.0% of homes sell above list, the ability to structure a competitive yet disciplined offer, or to defend a seller's price against pressure, is measurable rather than promotional. Of the 315 licensed agents serving Marion, EffectiveAgents has ranked 18 based on verified transaction history and client outcomes. The top-ranked agent, Dave Berry at Realty87, has recorded 942 transactions and $169.7M in all-time sales volume, a depth of experience that spans varied conditions across the 52302 area. That volume matters most in negotiation, where an agent who has navigated hundreds of closings recognizes when a buyer should hold firm and when a seller should counter. When reviewing candidates, look past a single testimonial and examine the pattern across reviews, consistency over dozens of transactions signals reliability more than any individual endorsement. Dave Berry's 30 reviews reflect that kind of sustained track record.
How We Rank Marion Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Marion market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Marion Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Marion, IA?
Based on verified transaction data, Dave Berry at Realty87 ranks as the top real estate agent in Marion, IA, with 942 career transactions, 30 client reviews, and $169.7M in all-time sales volume. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing objective performance measures such as closed transactions, sale-to-list outcomes, and client feedback rather than advertising spend.

How were these Marion real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Marion?
Our data covers 315 real estate agents serving the Marion area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Marion market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Marion mean for sellers?
Marion's median sale price is $287,363 as of September 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Marion?
The median home in Marion currently sells in 10, though that figure reflects a -11 days change in market time from a year ago. With 53.6% of homes going under contract within two weeks, well-priced and well-presented listings move fast, while about 22.6% of listings require a price reduction and take longer. Your actual timeline depends on pricing accuracy, condition, location within the 52302 area, and season. Homes priced to the current market from day one consistently sell fastest and closest to, or above, list.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Marion realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Marion agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Marion neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Marion realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Marion in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
