Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Barry County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Barry County is seeing a relatively full slate of options, with 155 homes on the market and 45 new listings in February 2026. Inventory has grown about 4% from the prior month and roughly 11% over the year, pointing to more choice for shoppers. At the same time, only 26 homes went under contract, down more than 38% from a year ago, reinforcing a slower pace of signed deals.
Pricing is adjusting to this cooler contract flow. The typical home value stands near $224,900, up about 4.85% from last year but down 13.5% from the prior month, and below the Missouri typical value of about $270,600. Sellers are also trimming expectations, with the median list price at $265,000 in February and expected to edge toward $275,000 in March as the market tests what buyers will accept.
Homes are taking time to move, sitting a median of 84 days on the market, even after a month-over-month drop of more than 22% in days to contract. Around 16.8% of listings saw a price cut, and virtually no homes sold above asking, with sale-to-list ratios averaging about 97%. With roughly 6 months of supply and a market gauge pointing to a buyer’s market at 60, conditions currently tilt toward shoppers. Whether you are planning to buy or aiming to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with an experienced local agent who understands these trends and can guide your next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Barry County offers residents a welcoming, tight-knit community, abundant outdoor recreation, dependable local services, and growing opportunities for work, education, and a high quality of life.
Barry County offers a distinctly rural lifestyle with quick access to larger destinations like Springfield and Joplin, making it attractive to residents who want space, small towns, and Table Rock Lake within easy reach. Communities such as Cassville and Monett blend established neighborhoods with newer development, while small towns like Shell Knob draw those who prioritize lake access and weekend recreation.
Outdoor life is central here. Residents enjoy boating and fishing at Roaring River State Park, family time at South Park in Monett, and a full schedule of youth sports and events through the Cassville YMCA. Local schools, including Monett R-1 School District and Cassville R-IV School District, are key anchors for community life and help define neighborhood appeal.
Everyday needs are met by locally owned businesses, from cafes on Cassville’s town square to events and resources at the Barry-Lawrence Regional Library in Cassville. Housing options range from starter homes and in-town bungalows to farms and lakeview properties, with values that can shift quickly based on school boundaries and lake proximity.
In a county where properties can be unique and highly localized, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right real estate agent to navigate Barry County’s opportunities confidently.

“It was GREAT to work with Marissa! She asked all the right questions and found all the right answers. Communication was excellent every step of the way, and she found the perfect buyer for our home. I highly recommend her for her professionalism, communication and overall dedication to a great sale!”
“Chris is the greatest realtor. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with buying or selling a house. He was my seller's agent (my house sold within 3 days!) and also our buyer's agent for the new house. What we liked about Chris: he kept in contact, checked in frequently and kept us posted with any updates he received during the process. We could ask questions and received prompt answers. Chris always had our best interest in mind. Not only did he jump through any hoop for us, we also got over flooring transitions together. It is evident that Chris loves what he does and is not just there for collecting a commission: Making sure people find their homes!”
“Amanda helped me find the right place in the area and within my budget. She helped me get all the information I needed and did video walkthroughs that helped me see the different propertries as I was not in the local area. The buying process went smoothly and I was able to close earlier than originally planned. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jon has been my realtor for years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He brings decades of experience while staying on top of current market trends, which made the entire purchase smooth and strategic. Knowledgeable, reliable, and always one step ahead.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10 – Highly Recommend Sean Moore! As a first-time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Sean Moore with RE/MAX. From start to finish, the entire process went extremely smooth, and that’s 100% because of Sean. Sean was always responsive, communicated clearly, and took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process so I always knew exactly what was going on. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and it’s obvious he has years of experience—something that made a huge difference when navigating my first home purchase. On top of that, Sean was excellent at negotiating and helped me get the exact price I wanted on the house I wanted. There were no issues, no surprises, and no stress—everything went flawlessly. If you’re looking for a realtor who is professional, experienced, patient, and truly has your best interests in mind, Sean Moore is the one. I’d recommend him to anyone without hesitation. 10 out of 10!”
“Kathy has assisted us in purchasing 10 homes in the area. She knows what we are looking for and always keeps our best interest at heart. I trust Kathy implicitly and will continue to work with only her on our housing journey!!”
“Freeman is one heck of a young man. He will do whatever it takes to get thr best deal for you. He is reliable and kind. I have used 4 other realtors in my life and I would pick Freeman again.”
“Jenn was great to work with and answered all our questions promptly. Even when we had multiple questions on the same day. Would HIGHLY recommend working with her.”
“Patty and Alexa are a complete team with a proven strategy that delivered an outstanding outcome—our home sold quickly and at a price above our expectations. With their guidance, we showcased our home in a way that truly inspired potential buyers. Their deep experience in our local market, combined with broad exposure through their network, helped us push through a very challenging first weekend on the market—a cold, gloomy November weekend. Despite that rough start, we received the offer we were hoping for that same weekend. An accepted offer is just the beginning, and Patty expertly shepherded the process all the way to closing. While this wasn’t our first home sale, the market has changed, and there were many things we didn’t know we didn’t know—but Patty and Alexa did. Their knowledge and confidence gave us tremendous peace of mind. It’s easy to see why they are so successful; highly recommend them to anyone looking for experienced, trusted professionals to help sell their home.”
