Lawrence County is seeing modestly tightening inventory with 192 active listings in June, down slightly from last year. Homes sold rose nearly 20% year over year to 50, yet pending sales were down about 16%, hinting at some recent cooling in new contracts. New listings jumped more than 30% from May, adding fresh options for buyers entering the market.
Pricing has pushed higher as activity has picked up. The typical home value reached about $239,000 in June, up more than 19% from a year ago, while the median list price climbed over 40% year over year. Compared with Missouri overall, Lawrence County’s typical sale price is lower than the state median of roughly $299,000, which may appeal to value-focused buyers.
Time on market shows a mixed picture for sellers. Homes now sit a median of 27 days, much faster than in May but far longer than a year ago, and months of supply is a lean 2.8, reinforcing the current seller’s market reading. Very few homes have sold above list price recently, and about 30% go under contract within two weeks, indicating buyers still move quickly for the right property. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these shifting dynamics or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market.
