Bettendorf, IA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Bettendorf produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 309
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $335,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $179
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $218,500 and $527,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 309 closed sales in Bettendorf over the last six months, with a median closing price of $335,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $218,500 and $527,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 308 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $149 and $219 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Bettendorf over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $218,500 and $527,000. Among the 24 Iowa markets with a published band, Bettendorf's middle-half spread ($218,500 to $527,000) ranks 24th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 90th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 10 days, across 232 Bettendorf closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 30 days, across 226 Bettendorf closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 309 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Bettendorf angle

Bettendorf recorded 309 tracked closings over the last six months at a median closed sale price of $335,000, and the middle half of those sales stretched from $218,500 to $527,000. That band is among the widest spreads we track, so the citywide median tells you where the market balances, not what any particular address is worth. The stretch from the median up to $527,000 covers more ground than the stretch down to $218,500, meaning the expensive half of the market fans out further than the affordable half. Price a Bettendorf property from closed sales that genuinely resemble it, and expect defensible answers to land a long way from the midpoint without being wrong.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Bettendorf address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Bettendorf over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Bettendorf city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 14% of the 309 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $339,900.
