Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Cole County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market despite a recent buildup in inventory. Months of supply has risen to 2.2, and active listings are up sharply compared with last year, growing nearly 67 percent, which gives buyers more options than they had before.
Prices show a mixed picture, with the typical home value edging up about 2 percent year over year while the median list price is down more than 20 percent from a month ago and over 23 percent from last year. At the same time, the average sale-to-list ratio has improved to about 97 percent, suggesting sellers are still achieving solid prices even as they adjust asking levels.
Momentum on the activity side has strengthened, as homes sold climbed more than 30 percent year over year and new listings jumped over 70 percent. Median days on market sits at just 13 days, much faster than at the start of the year, indicating that well-priced homes can still move quickly. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced Cole County agent who understands these shifting conditions and can help them navigate their next move.

“Amanda Greenwood went over and above. Because we are purchasing while living in a different state, we needed to have virtual walk throughs done. She showed all the good and the bad in every showing. She was extremely thorough and had such attention to detail we felt like we're were there walking the house in person. She was very honest when we asked her opinion yet not pushing in any way. He husband Chris was also wonderful to work with as he gave a second opinion and was very helpful. We could not have made this work without the help of this team. We are very greatful for everything she did to find us our perfect home. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

She consistently made excellent suggestions, shared information, and kept us very updated on the process. She broke everything down so we could understand. She was always there to answer our texts and calls. If she doesn't know the answer to something, she FINDS the answer. That is incredibly valuable in customer service.

“Marla Roberts is exceptionally personable and is extremely knowledgeable as a Real Estate Agent. She was able to show me many homes with precise information about the home itself AND surrounding neighborhoods. However I was unable to secure a purchase in her home area. Then I found some possibilities in a new town and asked her on a whim.........if she could be my Buyers Agent in this new area.......the answer was "yes" and she even had a good understanding of the new location as well! She is also a good detective..... when I needed more information about a roof and she had to research back two owners to find some answers!! I would always recommend Marla Roberts as a one of the Best Agents for her sincerity and professionalism in the Real Estate business .”
