Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Butler County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Year-over-year, Butler County’s housing values have dropped sharply, with the typical home value down 33.92 percent even as Missouri as a whole is up 4.44 percent. Despite this decline, local values around $138,775 in March 2026 sit well below the state’s $282,300, highlighting a more affordable market than the broader Missouri average.
In March 2026, buyers saw a median list price of $215,000 and homes taking a median of 79 days to go under contract, up 54.9 percent from a year earlier. With 133 homes on the market, 43 new listings, and 36 pending sales, supply sits near 3.9 months, supporting the area’s classification as a seller’s market even as activity has cooled from last year.
Looking ahead to April 2026, typical home values are projected to ease further to about $133,162 while the projected median list price rises to roughly $242,550 and inventory edges slightly down to 131. With about 18.8 percent of listings seeing price drops, roughly 17.6 percent selling above list, and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.94, both pricing power and negotiation room vary listing by listing, so buyers and sellers can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide their moves.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
