Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Dent County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Over the past year, Dent County has seen home values climb sharply, with a 50.0% year-over-year increase in the typical home value. That stands in contrast to Missouri as a whole, where values rose a more modest 2.31%. Inventory has edged up 3.13% year over year, giving buyers somewhat more choice than last year even amid rising prices.
In February 2026, the typical home value in Dent County was about $195,000, with a median list price around $214,000. Homes spent a median of 49 days on the market, a notable drop of 16.95% from a year earlier and more than 60% lower than just one month prior, pointing to quicker decisions from buyers.
Current conditions lean toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge of 37 and months of supply at 7.3, even as about 22.7% of listings saw price drops and roughly 11.1% of homes sold above list. Buyers can also note that the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under full asking at 0.95, while inventory stands at 66 homes with 13 new listings and 18 pending sales. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections show the typical home value rising to about $236,500 and the median list price nearing $236,050, with inventory holding close to 65 homes. In this shifting environment, both buyers and sellers in Dent County can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a skilled local real estate agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Dent County offers residents a welcoming, community-focused lifestyle with abundant outdoor recreation, thriving local small businesses, and reliable services that support families, education, and entrepreneurship.
Dent County stands apart from nearby areas like Phelps County and Crawford County with its strong sense of self and close connection to the rolling Ozark landscape. Centered around Salem, the county blends small town familiarity with easy access to outdoor recreation and regional employers in Rolla and Houston.
Life here often revolves around community traditions and the outdoors. Residents value time at Montauk State Park for trout fishing and family gatherings, float trips along the Current River within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways, and local events at the Dent County Commons. In town, families make use of the Salem Public Library and cheer at Salem R-80 Schools activities, while neighbors catch up over coffee or a meal at local favorites throughout downtown Salem.
Housing options range from in town bungalows and mid century homes to small farms and wooded acreage, which appeals to both lifelong residents and newcomers seeking space and quiet. Because the market can shift quickly with limited inventory in some price ranges, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are planning to list a long held family property or hoping to secure the right home before the next school year, connecting with a knowledgeable local agent through Agent Pronto helps both buyers and sellers move with confidence.

“It was GREAT to work with Marissa! She asked all the right questions and found all the right answers. Communication was excellent every step of the way, and she found the perfect buyer for our home. I highly recommend her for her professionalism, communication and overall dedication to a great sale!”
“Chris is the greatest realtor. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with buying or selling a house. He was my seller's agent (my house sold within 3 days!) and also our buyer's agent for the new house. What we liked about Chris: he kept in contact, checked in frequently and kept us posted with any updates he received during the process. We could ask questions and received prompt answers. Chris always had our best interest in mind. Not only did he jump through any hoop for us, we also got over flooring transitions together. It is evident that Chris loves what he does and is not just there for collecting a commission: Making sure people find their homes!”
“Amanda helped me find the right place in the area and within my budget. She helped me get all the information I needed and did video walkthroughs that helped me see the different propertries as I was not in the local area. The buying process went smoothly and I was able to close earlier than originally planned. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Jon has been my realtor for years, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else. He brings decades of experience while staying on top of current market trends, which made the entire purchase smooth and strategic. Knowledgeable, reliable, and always one step ahead.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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. I’d recommend him to anyone without hesitation. 10 out of 10!”
“Kathy has assisted us in purchasing 10 homes in the area. She knows what we are looking for and always keeps our best interest at heart. I trust Kathy implicitly and will continue to work with only her on our housing journey!!”
“Freeman is one heck of a young man. He will do whatever it takes to get thr best deal for you. He is reliable and kind. I have used 4 other realtors in my life and I would pick Freeman again.”
“Jenn was great to work with and answered all our questions promptly. Even when we had multiple questions on the same day. Would HIGHLY recommend working with her.”
“Patty and Alexa are a complete team with a proven strategy that delivered an outstanding outcome—our home sold quickly and at a price above our expectations. With their guidance, we showcased our home in a way that truly inspired potential buyers. Their deep experience in our local market, combined with broad exposure through their network, helped us push through a very challenging first weekend on the market—a cold, gloomy November weekend. Despite that rough start, we received the offer we were hoping for that same weekend. An accepted offer is just the beginning, and Patty expertly shepherded the process all the way to closing. While this wasn’t our first home sale, the market has changed, and there were many things we didn’t know we didn’t know—but Patty and Alexa did. Their knowledge and confidence gave us tremendous peace of mind. It’s easy to see why they are so successful; highly recommend them to anyone looking for experienced, trusted professionals to help sell their home.”
