Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Glen Carbon has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 30% year over year to 103 homes. Buyer activity is keeping pace, as homes sold have climbed nearly 40% compared with a year ago and pending sales are up almost 64%. New listings have grown more modestly, rising about 9% from last year, which helps keep supply from getting too tight.
Despite more choices, sellers are still holding the advantage. Months of supply sits at about two months and is slightly lower than a year ago, pointing to a solid seller’s market where well-priced homes continue to move.
Pricing has reacted strongly to this demand, with the typical home value around $410,000, up roughly 24% year over year in the rolling three-month window. The median list price has increased about 23% from last year, and nearly half of recent sales closed above list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 101%. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market up to about six weeks, yet more than 60% still go off the market within two weeks, suggesting fast action on the most desirable properties. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local real estate agent.
