Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Des Peres real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Over the past year, Des Peres has seen a sharp reset in home values, with the typical home value down about 55.06 percent year over year. That contrasts with St. Louis County overall, where typical values are down a milder 4.83 percent to about $250,000. Even with the decline, Des Peres still sits above the county level, at roughly $400,000 for a typical home.
In the latest month of February 2026, sellers were asking a median list price of about $675,000, even as homes took a long time to sell at a median of 146 days on the market, up more than 380 percent from a year earlier. Inventory stands at 14 homes, about 75 percent higher than last year but down 22.22 percent from the prior month, with roughly 4.7 months of supply indicating a more balanced environment between buyers and sellers.
Price adjustments are part of the story, with about 7 percent of listings seeing a price drop and no recent sales closing above list price, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.98. Looking ahead to March 2026, projections point to a lower typical home value near $352,500, a projected median list price around $497,550, and a slightly tighter inventory of about 12 homes. In this shifting landscape, both buyers and sellers in Des Peres can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an experienced local agent to guide their decisions.
Des Peres offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with excellent schools, ample parks, and easy access to shopping and regional amenities.

At the center of daily life is the The Lodge Des Peres, a city-owned recreation complex with pools, fitness facilities, and year-round programs. Outdoor enthusiasts value Des Peres Park for its walking paths, playgrounds, and community events, and shoppers from across the region frequent West County Center. Families appreciate the highly regarded Kirkwood School District and nearby private school options, which help keep housing in steady demand.
Dining ranges from neighborhood staples to destination restaurants, and everyday errands are simple with retail and services close at hand. The city’s government maintains an active communication channel through the City of Des Peres site, giving residents a clear picture of development, safety, and parks planning.
With inventory often limited and buyer interest strong, timing and preparation matter in Des Peres.

“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!!”
“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.”
