Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Howard County has expanded lately, with active listings up modestly year over year and totaling 33 homes in May. Contract activity has accelerated even faster, as homes sold jumped more than 130% and pending sales rose over 250% compared with a year earlier.
Pricing is reacting to this stronger flow, with the typical home value up about 45% year over year and the median list price up roughly 15%. Even with these gains, Howard County’s typical sale price remains below the Missouri average of about $294,000, suggesting buyers here are seeing lower price points than in the state overall.
Days on market show an unusual mix of speed and patience, with a high median of 177 days but about 42% of homes still going under contract within two weeks. Months of supply has tightened to just over two months, down sharply from a year ago and consistent with the county’s current seller’s market reading, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto-recommended real estate agent to navigate these conditions effectively.
