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

Howard County is currently classified as a buyer’s market, with about 4.5 months of supply in September, up more than 70 percent from August and higher than Missouri’s 3.4 months. Fewer homes are circulating, as active listings slipped to 29, down from both last month and a year ago.

Contract activity has slowed sharply, with homes sold dropping to 5 in September and new listings and pending sales each falling by nearly half month over month. Despite this cooler pace, properties that do sell are moving much faster, as median days on market plunged to just 8 days, down more than 80 percent from August and significantly lower than a year earlier.

Prices are adjusting to these shifting dynamics, with the typical home value around $194,565, down slightly from last month and about 4 percent lower than last year. Sellers are also pricing more cautiously, as the median list price is down over 20 percent year over year even after a jump from August. In this kind of mixed environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an experienced local agent, and Agent Pronto can help connect them with the right professional in Howard County.

“I couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Chris Smith while purchasing my first home! From beginning to end, Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely dedicated to helping me. As a first-time homebuyer, I had plenty of questions and concerns, but he always took the time to explain everything, keep me imformed, and ensure I felt confident in my decisions. I especially appreciated his guidance during the inspections, repair negotiations, and closing process. He consistently looked out for my best interests and made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. His communication, attention to detail, and dedication truly stood out. I'm incredibly grateful for all his hard work and support in helping me achieve such an important milestone. I would wholeheartedly recommed Chris to anyone buying or selling a home, especially first-time homebuyers. Thank you Chris, for helping make my dream of homeownership a reality!”

“I had an amazing experience working with Dara. I was selling my home and Dara did a great job submitting all paperwork on time and communicating actively with all parties, although our path was a bit bumpy from the buyer side and funding on time but Dara pushed it through very strong and even threatening buyer with legal actions, so the buyer eventually made a payment. Definitely will recommend their services”

“Nick was absolutely amazing. We were first time home buyers, and he took the time to really help us through the process, and really figure out what we were looking for. He didn't just try to push us into something that didn't fit for us. Nick was also always available when we needed help with anything. We ended up going with a FSBO, and he really shielded us from a lot of difficulties that surrounded that whole process. I seriously could not have asked for a better agent in this process.”

“Mariah was amazing to work with! Being a first time home buyer, I asked her to come take a look at a few properties with me so I could get an idea of what I was getting into. I wasn't anticipating to buy at the time, but she was able to hook me up with one heck of a deal! Because of her I was able to purchase my first home that fit my budget at just 22! She helped make this process go so smooth! She was more than willing to help me with any questions that I had, and if she didn't have the answer she would get me in touch with the right people. I loved working with Mariah, and I will definitely be using her services again!”

“If you are looking to buy a home in Columbia, Autumn is the clear choice for a realtor. I was intimidated by the process of purchasing our first home but from our very first meeting with Autumn we felt comfortable and confident that we had made the right choice. She is a great communicator and answered all of our (several) questions in a timely manner, no matter the time of day! She also knows the Columbia area well. The process was quick and efficient and thanks to Autumn’s expertise and guidance we are now first-time homeowners! 10/10 experience.”

“I recently retired, and we were wanting to move back to the midwest were we have lived in the past. We found a home, but due to the weather and being such a long distance from where we were as well as getting our present home listed to sell, we couldn't make it out to see the home in a timely manner but didn't want to lose out on the opportunity either. We contacted Jodie, and tool care of everything, even doing a virtual tour of the home while we watched in real time as she went thru the home. We fell in love with the house, so she then took over and helped us make and offer. Everything went smooth and next thing we knew, we were on our way to our new home. Jodie is wonderful! She was always checking in with us and keeping us updated. If you are looking for a honest, caring and wonderful agent, I recommend her without hesitation!”
