Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Defiance’s rolling three-month figures point to a sharply higher price environment alongside thinner inventory. The median list price is up dramatically compared with the same period last year, while active listings have been cut by roughly half, signaling that fewer homes are available even as asking prices climb.
In the latest rolling three-month view through September 2026, only one home is actively listed, with just one new listing and one pending sale, highlighting how few properties change hands at a time. An off-market-in-two-weeks share above 99 percent suggests that when homes do come up for sale, they can move off the market very quickly.
Looking back over recent years, median sale prices stepped up from about the mid-$100,000s in mid-2023 to the mid-$200,000s and then mid-$300,000s by mid-2026, reinforcing the trend toward higher values in a low-supply setting. With the market gauge firmly in seller’s market territory, Agent Pronto can connect sellers who want to capitalize on current conditions and buyers who need help competing for limited listings with an experienced local agent.
Defiance offers residents a welcoming small-town atmosphere, rich history, and easy access to scenic outdoor spaces, along with a thriving local scene of shops, wineries, and community events.
Defiance offers small-town living with quick access to regional amenities, set along the Katy Trail State Park in eastern Missouri’s wine country. Many residents appreciate the balance of quiet residential streets, countryside views, and a practical commute to larger employment centers in St. Charles County and the St. Louis area.
Outdoor recreation shapes daily life here. Cyclists and runners use the Katy Trail year-round, and families frequent Matson Hill Park for wooded hikes and nature programs. Weekends often include visits to nearby wineries such as Sugar Creek Winery or casual meals at local staples like Defiance Roadhouse, where neighbors tend to know each other by name.
Housing options range from older farm properties to newer custom homes on larger lots. Proximity to Francis Howell High School and other district campuses is a key draw for households that want space without giving up access to established schools and youth activities. Daily errands typically run through nearby Augusta or O'Fallon, where you will find supermarkets, healthcare, and expanded dining.
Because Defiance spans rural roads, river bluffs, and unincorporated pockets, pricing, commute times, and even utility providers can vary from one property to the next. A knowledgeable local real estate agent can sort through these details, helping buyers and sellers navigate the Defiance market with less stress, guided by Agent Pronto.

“Kathy worked with us through viewing nearly 30 homes, and there were many instances of viewing 4 or 5 homes in a single day. Through all that, Kathy remained cognizant of what we were looking for, and was happy to point out things that we may not consider, being first time buyers. Kathy was an excellent help in getting us into our home, and we were happy with the experience overall.”
“Some people come into your life at exactly the right time, and Beckie Davis was one of those people for me. I wasn't simply searching for a house. I was navigating one of the most difficult chapters of my life and looking for a place to begin again. Through every disappointment, obstacle, stressful negotiation, and anxious moment, Beckie was there. Her knowledge, professionalism, patience, and dedication were exceptional, but what truly sets her apart is she genuinely cares about the people she represents, and I never once felt like just another client. On October 22, I closed on my new home and opened a new chapter filled with hope, peace, and possibilities. What began as a professional relationship became a friendship I will forever treasure. Beckie, thank you for walking beside me through this journey and caring about the person behind the purchase. You didn't just help me find a place to live. You helped me find a place to begin again. ❤️”
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Tyler Hopkins with The Team Real Estate! When my family and I decided it was time to find a home with more space, we wanted a realtor who was honest, caring, and personable. From the moment we met Tyler, we knew we had found the right person to help us through the process. Tyler made an incredible first impression, and that never changed throughout our experience. He worked extremely hard to make sure my family and I were taken care of and that our needs were always a priority. His communication was outstanding, and he always made sure we knew what was going on throughout the home-buying process. What really stood out to us, though, was how genuine and personable he was. He was always professional, but he also made us feel like more than just another client. Buying a home is a big decision, especially when you're trying to find the right place for your family, and having someone like Tyler in your corner makes all the difference. His honesty, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond are qualities that you don't always come across. To anyone looking to buy or sell a home, I would recommend Tyler without hesitation. You won't be disappointed. He's not only an incredible realtor but also a genuinely great person who cares about the families he works with. Anyone would be lucky to have him representing them. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“Melissa was absolutely amazing to work with! She went above and beyond to make the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. We had some unique situations and she was so helpful in navigating options and solutions for us. She was always helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and quick to answer any questions we had. She has an amazing eye for design which helped us to see ideas and thoughts on different spaces. We truly felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made such a difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. We are so grateful to have had Melissa and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and goes the extra mile, Melissa is the one, she is a realtor turned friend for us!”
“If you are looking for a realtor who truly cares about his clients. He was there every step of the way. Even provided drone shots of the home while we lived out of state. Followed up after closing too making sure everything was good.”
“Absolutely loved working with Kristen and her team! As one can imagine, the home-buying process is not the easiest thing, especially as first-time home buyers, but Kristen made it as easy as it could be. She is incredibly knowledgeable, on top of everything, kept us informed, and never hesitated to answer any and all questions we had, so we were never left wondering about anything that was going on. And, in the end, she helped us land on our very first home, and we couldn't be happier!”
“I met the Gellman team several years prior to putting our home on the market. I received a phone call every 6 months to 1 year for continuous follow up on our plan to sell. When we finally decided to put our home on the market, Daniel immediately met with us, evaluated our home and assisted us on a fair market value. He also helped prepare the pre-sale details, got us in touch with the staging department and put his team into action. Our home sold quickly and the final details were ironed out by their contract closing coordinator. Daniel and his team is a group of hard working, dedicated professionals who understand the market well and are looking out for your best outcome.”
“Authenticity and honesty? Do those matter to you? That’s Dennis Ciot! He was very helpful and informative, especially for a 1st time buyer. Any questions or concerns we had, he would respond with a thorough response that reminded us as to why we chose Dennis to handle all the crazy behind the scene headaches so we can focus on our daily routines and not stress over the buying process! Highly recommend!”
“Taylor did an outstanding job in an extremely complex sale in probate. She handled all parties with patience and professionalism. There were many hoops to jump through which she helped navigate the entire process and we were able to close EARLIER than expected.”
“Stayed in top of transaction, prompt and diligent in making the deal move forward. Very professional.”
“Candace was down right amazing! She was an absolute blessing for our entire process, her responsiveness was top tier, she kept us informed, reassured, and very excited for our first home! She could answer any question imaginable and if she didn’t know she would find out right away! We had a long home buying journey, and she stuck it out with us through the entire time! Counts ask for a better realtor for our process, if/when we need a realtor again we will definitely be going back!”
“She did an amazing job, I can’t recommend her enough. She was very knowledgeable and helped us throughout the entire process. She is great if you are a first time homebuyer or if this is your second or third home. Would definitely work with her in the future.”
“Connie did a great job, she was very responsive and knowledgeable. She is also very professional and always ready to answer any questions large or small. Connie did a great job when selling our home, nothing was too much trouble. We can also say the same when we were viewing quite a lot of properties till we found our new home.”
“Angela and her team have now sold two houses for me. Both were handled extremely professionally, both sold at or above asking, and both closings were extremely smooth. The marketing of the properties is second to none. Angela has a clear strategy and will carry through with it. She's transparent and honest. If something is unrealistic she will be straight with you. The second home sell was in the most difficult situations caused by a messy divorce. Despite the other sides constant interference, Angela and her team were efficient and professional at all times. I'd recommend the Kittner group to anyone looking at buying or selling a home. It will be the best decision you make.”
“Liz was amazing! She would send me multiple properties to view and showed me the houses I was interested in on my schedule and never tried to force me into do something I wasn't interested. Liz made sure to check out every aspect of each potential property and point out the good and the bad. When the house came available that I inevitably purchased, she noticed a few problems that we wanted to have addressed. The issues would not have been deal breakers but Liz was able to get them corrected and not at my expense. Liz would always answer my calls and and she helped calm my nerves come closing day. We did a couple of walk-throughs of what was expected of me and of what I could expect come close. Her personality is absolutely amazing and I have recommended her to friends that are interested in purchasing (also selling) and I would recommend her to all. I truly enjoyed the experience of working with her and was sorry that I wasn't going to see her on a daily basis going forward. I still try to keep in touch. I absolutely love the house I am in and I have Liz to thank.”
“If you’re buying a house in the St. Louis area, run, don’t walk, to Jen. I knew Jen was great—my sister used her as her realtor and raved about her—but after working with her myself, I can confidently say she’s in a league of her own. She called me five minutes after I submitted my inquiry email. On a Sunday. At her birthday party. That kind of responsiveness never wavered—Jen picked up the phone no matter what, made me feel like I was her only client (in the best way), and never once made me feel like I was asking too many questions. In fact, she welcomed them and always made sure I felt heard and informed. Jen gave me her honest advice while always respecting my preferences. I never felt pushed or sold to. Her recommendations—from inspectors to lenders—were all spot on. Every person she referred was just as thorough and trustworthy as she is. At one point, we were struggling to get info from the HOA. Jen wouldn’t take no for an answer—she hunted down a title company that could get the answers we needed. That’s the kind of tenacity and care she brings. It honestly felt like I was working with family. Jen is sharp, thorough, patient, and incredibly kind. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without her, and I recommend her to absolutely anyone buying a home in the STL area.”
“Megan was amazing. I was going through a stressful situation and Megan made it easy for me. She is knowledgeable and hard working. I highly recommend her to everyone”
“Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He was there for me every step of the way and he made selling my house way less stressful than what I have experienced in the past. I would definitely recommend Amy and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell their home!!”
“I can not say enough about Pam! She is a real fighter. Never say die. If I needed one person in my corner, I want it to be Pam! She is my HERO!”
“We were extremely impressed with Haley all throughout our home buying process. Haley worked with all four of us (mom, dad, myself and my husband) while we were still out of state. Haley was always professional, knowledgable, very responsive, and consistent. Haley was kind and patient while walking us through the process as first time home buyers. Haley was diligent in tracking down any information we needed and had a wide network of resources and professionals in the industry who she could recommend to us for home improvement work. We really enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to any of our family and friends!”
