Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Cape Girardeau County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Inventory in Cape Girardeau County has expanded, with active listings up more than 14% year over year and months of supply rising to 3.1, slightly below the Missouri average of 3.2. Contract activity is fairly steady, as homes sold have inched up about 3% from last year while pending sales are down slightly, suggesting a balanced flow between new demand and available homes.
Pricing is adjusting to this added supply, with the typical home value down about 6% year over year and the median list price falling more than 15% over the same period. At the same time, sellers are still achieving strong results, as the average sale-to-list ratio has ticked up to just over 98% and nearly 19% of homes are closing above list price, a share that is roughly 13% higher than last year.
Time on market shows buyers have a bit more breathing room, with the median days on market at 36, yet that is about 12% faster than a year ago and more than 43% of homes go off the market within two weeks. Agent Pronto can connect buyers who want to navigate shifting prices and timing, and sellers who aim to price strategically in this changing environment, with an agent who knows Cape Girardeau County well.
