Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Carthage’s rolling three-month snapshot through May 2026 shows more homes moving through the pipeline, with 65 new listings and 61 pending sales. Active listings are modestly higher than a year ago, and months of supply has tightened to 2.3, signaling a firm seller’s market even as options slowly expand.
Pricing is adjusting amid this activity, with the typical home value down about 9% year over year while the median list price is roughly flat. Sellers are generally pricing above what buyers are willing to pay, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio around 82% and essentially no sales closing above list price.
Market pace has shifted as well, with homes spending a median of 31 days on the market in this rolling period, faster than some recent months but slower than the quickest stretches over the past couple of years. With 53 homes sold in the latest three-month window, buyers face a market that still favors sellers but offers more choices than in some past seasons, and both buyers and sellers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an agent who understands these local dynamics.
Carthage offers residents a welcoming, tight-knit community with historic charm, vibrant local shops and dining, inviting parks and outdoor trails, and a calendar of events that supports strong neighborhood connections and a high quality of life.

Outdoor time is easy to find in community parks such as Municipal Park, and the city’s trail and sports facilities support an active lifestyle without a long commute.
Carthage’s historic downtown and the Carthage Historic District provide distinctive dining and shopping, with events centered around the courthouse square. Cultural attractions like the Powers Museum and Carthage Civil War Museum add depth for history enthusiasts, while nearby Springfield and Kansas City expand travel and entertainment options.
