“Chris was absolutely fantastic throughout our entire home buying process. He was knowledgeable, responsive, patient, and always willing to answer our questions or help us work through any concerns we had. Buying our first home was stressful at times, but Chris made the process much easier and always made us feel like we were in good hands. He genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and went above and beyond to make sure everything came together. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would highly recommend Chris Smith to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We’re extremely grateful to have had him as our realtor!”

Latest Monthly Snapshot
July 2026
Monthly Pricing Trends for Polk County
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly Inventory and Sales Activity for Polk County
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Inventory in Polk County has been expanding, with active listings up more than 11% from last year to 202 homes in July and months of supply down to 3.4 from higher levels earlier in the year. At the same time, buyer activity looks mixed, as homes sold jumped nearly 27% year over year while pending sales fell more than 32% over the same period.
Pricing is holding relatively steady despite the shifting contract flow, with the typical home value around $245,679 and up nearly 3% from a year ago. Sellers are adjusting expectations though, as the average sale-to-list ratio sits at about 93% and none of the recent sales closed above list price.
Days on market have shortened dramatically compared with earlier this year, dropping from around three months in winter to 34 days in July, suggesting that well-priced homes are still finding buyers efficiently in this neutral market. While Missouri as a whole shows a slightly higher typical sale price and similar months of supply, Polk County buyers and sellers can benefit from local expertise, and Agent Pronto can help both sides connect with the right real estate agent for their needs.

“We had to navigate a home sale in a market where the bottom dropped out due to economy not being great. Kathy's experience and dedication was the reason we were able to sell in such a tough market. Kathy brought in a team that assisted in marketing the home on several digital media platforms and provided market trend analysis so we would know where to set our pricing for optimal buyer interest. She even steered me away from a couple of bad decisions that I was actually considering in my attempts to sell faster. In a very stressy period of our lives, Kathy did an amazing job at keeping us focused on the best solutions. She will be my go to if and when I decide to buy or sell a home in the STL area. Thanks so much, Kathy!”
