St. Louis<\/a> is the exception. The real estate market here is really quite stable \u2013 yes, there have been peaks and troughs as you\u2019d expect in any market as the seasons change and demand for moving home goes up and down, but on the whole things are staying fairly normal. It\u2019s not really a buyer\u2019s or a seller\u2019s market here right now, making it a good time for anyone to consider listing their home or buying a home.<\/p>\nA Healthy Number of Homes Listed in St. Louis<\/h2>\n
Right now in St. Louis there\u2019s a total inventory of 3,167 homes, which is really quite a healthy number and one that hasn\u2019t changed since the figure last month. Compared to last year inventory in St. Louis has dropped a little but still nothing like the drops we\u2019re seeing in many other cities. Last year there were 3,612 homes listed for sale so today\u2019s figure is a drop of 12 percent. In most economies this would be big news, though while the housing market is still finding its feet across the country, this 12 percent drop really isn\u2019t a huge surprise.<\/p>\n
Median List Price Not Changed Significantly<\/h2>\n
The same can be said for the median list price in St Louis. It has risen but only by 4 percent over this time last year when the median list price was $120,000. Now that number is $124,900, which is more or less bang on last month\u2019s figure of $125,000. Again, in a steady market an increase of over 3 percent from one year to the next would be considered news, but compared to the increases we\u2019re seeing in some cities, 4 percent really is nothing to write home about.
\nThe median price per square foot is pretty much mirroring the median list price too. Last year median price per square foot in St Louis was $96 while today it is $99 so that\u2019s a 3 percent increase and a 1 percent decrease from last month when the figure was $100 per square foot.<\/p>\n
Days on Market Has Gone Down<\/h2>\n
The median number of days on market has dropped in St Louis, at least from last year\u2019s median anyway. One year ago that figure was 68 days while today it is 62 days. That\u2019s only a 9 percent drop, but interestingly there\u2019s been a more significant change from last month to today. Median days on market has actually risen from 55 days last month so this is a change of 13 percent from one month to the next.<\/p>\n
Mortgage Rates Remaining Stable<\/h2>\n
The mortgage rates in Missouri are at 4.25 percent today which is 3 basis points higher than the national average of 4.22 percent. However, this is a drop from last week\u2019s average in Missouri of 20 basis points so after climbing from the beginning of May, mortgage rates in Missouri may now be leveling out making this a good time to buy a home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
