What Does this Mean for You?

Home Prices Are Still Rising—Great News for Sellers!

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home, now is still a fantastic time. Single-family homes in the St. Louis area are selling for strong prices—the median is now $322,000, up 9.2% from last year. That means your home could be worth more than you think! With inventory down and demand high, homes are moving quickly—typically within just 30 days. That’s great news for sellers who want a smooth, fast sale.

Buyers: Be Ready, But You Still Have Options

For buyers, the market remains competitive, especially for single-family homes. Because there aren’t many homes available, it helps to be pre-approved and ready to act fast when you find the right one. While affordability has dipped slightly overall, the St. Louis area continues to offer great value compared to much of the country.

Townhomes and Condos: A Bit More Room to Breathe

If you're looking at townhomes or condos, the pace has slowed a little—good news for buyers who want more time to make decisions. These homes are sitting on the market a bit longer (now averaging 44 days), and pending sales are down, which could mean more negotiating room. Prices are still steady, with a small increase to $226,000.

No matter where you are in your homeownership journey, We're here to help you make smart, confident decisions—whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about your home's value. Let’s talk about how this market works for you.

    months supply and impact on price

    How to Understand the Law of Supply and Demand in Real Estate

    It's simpler than you might think.

    Months of inventory refers to the number of months it would take to sell all the current listings on the market if no new properties were added. It's a measure used to gauge the health of the real estate market:
    • Calculation: It's calculated by dividing the current number of active listings by the average sales per month.
    • Low Inventory: If this number is low (e.g., 1-3 months), it means there are fewer homes for sale relative to buyer demand. This situation typically indicates a seller's market.
    • High Inventory: A higher number (e.g., 6 months or more) suggests there are many homes available compared to the number of buyers, indicating a buyer's market.

    Below are the current months of supply charts for St. Louis and St. Charles County as of the end of September

    St. Louis City 2.4 Months of Inventory

    St. Charles County 3.03 Months of Inventory

             Whether you're interested in the St. Louis or St. Charles area, the supply of homes is still low.
    That's why home prices keep going up and why competition is still very much in the picture.
