Laclede County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge showing a seller’s market at 44. Months of supply sits at 3.1, slightly favoring sellers but not extremely tight. Homes are taking a median of 42 days to go under contract, which is almost 30 percent faster than a year ago.
Prices show mixed signals, with the typical home value around $221,000 and up nearly 11 percent year over year, even though it fell sharply from May. At the same time, the median list price is down about 16 percent from last June, suggesting sellers are pricing more conservatively even as values rise over the longer term. Only about 21 percent of homes are selling above list, but the share is higher than a year ago, and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, indicating buyers and sellers are meeting close to asking prices.
On the activity side, inventory is thinning slightly, with active listings down modestly from last year and new listings falling more than 17 percent. Demand has cooled more sharply, as pending sales are down by roughly one-third year over year and closed sales are off about 11 percent, giving buyers a bit more breathing room than in the past. Compared with Missouri overall, Laclede County homes are less expensive and have a similar level of supply, so local conditions matter.
