    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  for St. Louis and St. Charles County as of 7/20/2026

    St. Louis County 2.05 Months of Inventory

    St. Charles County 2.13  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.
