Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).

Inventory in Howard County has been tightening even as activity picks up. Active listings are up modestly from a year ago, but months of supply has dropped sharply to about a third of Missouri’s 3 months, underscoring a firm seller’s market with only 1.3 months of inventory.

Contract flow has accelerated notably compared with last year. Homes sold have jumped more than threefold year over year, and pending sales are also up strongly even though new listings dipped from May and remain limited in June.

Prices are reacting in a nuanced way to these conditions. The typical home value is up nearly 30% from a year ago even as the median list price has moved lower year over year and the average sale-to-list ratio sits under 90%, while homes are now going under contract far faster, with median days on market down steeply from earlier in the year. In this kind of fast-changing, low-supply environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands Howard County’s numbers and trends.

“Marissa was great from beginning to end. I needed the house sold ASAP. She came in listened to what I needed and what my time frame was and she went right to work. She got the house posted, numerous viewers, and under contract in less than like a week and a half. She was very personable and great in keeping communication with me through the entire process. She was fantastic and will absolutely use her again and promote her to anyone in the future!”

“I selected Chris Smith after interviewing four other agents. I picked him because I sensed he would be easy to communicate with and I liked his very positive, "let's-get-it-done" attitude. Also, he suggested a much higher selling price than the others had suggested, which indicated to me that he understood the value of the house and acerage better than the others. I am very glad to have chosen Chris. The property was sold within just a few days of being on the market, and for a price even higher than I dreamed of! On top of that, he was a great person to work with: very professional but at the same time very personable. I highly recommend him!!”
