The five highest-priced home sales reported in Dubuque Area, Iowa for the week ending November 1, 2026, totaled $2.99 million. Three of the homes are in Dubuque, with one each in Hopkinton and Guttenberg, and all five are single-family homes built between 1993 and 2016.
The group leans toward room to spread out: a shop with its own septic system, a pond with a dock, a large outbuilding with a paint booth and an attached garage with its own furnace all turn up below, alongside a custom-built home with a pool and a theater room at the top of the list.
No. 1 — $825,000 · 6036 Forest Hills Dr, Dubuque, Iowa
A custom-built home on Forest Hills Drive in Dubuque sold for $825,000, the top price of the week. Finished in brick and stone and built in 2009, it has six bedrooms, five full baths and a half bath, and 4,501 square feet of living space on 0.93 acres. That is the most bedrooms, bathrooms and living area of any home in this Top 5.
The main level is organized around daily family life. The kitchen has a large pantry, and both the living room and a private office are fitted with built-ins. There is a laundry room on that floor, a dining and play area, and enclosed lockers for coats and gear, and two of the bedrooms are on the main level as well. The primary suite has a sitting area, two walk-in closets and its own bath. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath.
The finished walkout lower level works almost as a second home within the home. It has two bedrooms, each with a private bath, plus a theater room, a family room with a bar and a second laundry room.
Outside, an in-ground pool sits in a fenced, landscaped area with a covered space for entertaining, complete with a TV, and a half bath outdoors. The property also has a heated spa, open yard with areas set aside for play, and a walking path along its edge that leads to a park nearby. Solar panels, a security camera system and programmable LED lighting round out the home. The property last sold for $700,000 in 2022.
The home went under contract five days after it was listed. Shari Greenwood of American Realty of Dubuque, Inc. was the listing agent, and Katherine Bitter of Red Tree Realty/REAL Broker, LLC represented the buyer.

No. 3 — $625,000 · 2182 Seippel Rd, Dubuque, Iowa
A private, stocked pond with a dock gives the 2.35 acres at 2182 Seippel Road in Dubuque much of their character, and the property comes with no covenants.

In the primary suite, the bath has a double vanity and a whirlpool tub. The finished walkout basement adds a spacious family room.
The grounds are set up for hobbies as much as for relaxing. A 50×60 building, partially finished and insulated, has three large overhead doors and its own paint booth. Closer to the home, a composite deck and two patios face the yard. The property last sold for $460,000 in 2014.
