Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026).
Inventory in Howard County has tightened, with active listings down more than a third from a year ago and totaling just 25 homes in April. At the same time, contract activity is modest, as only 4 homes sold in April and pending sales are roughly flat year over year, indicating a slower but steady flow of deals.
Pricing has adjusted downward in response to this softer demand, with the typical home value and median list price both falling compared with last year. April’s median list price is down almost one-fifth year over year, and the typical home value is also lower than a year ago, even as Missouri as a whole is seeing prices rise.
Conditions still lean toward sellers, reflected in a seller’s market gauge and months of supply around 3.8, but buyers are gaining some leverage as no recent homes sold above list and days on market have shortened sharply from last year. Whether navigating these shifting prices as a buyer or timing a sale in a cooling environment as a seller, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Howard County agent who understands the current dynamics and can guide your next move.
