Westside currently leans in favor of sellers, with a seller’s market gauge reading of 18 and just 2 months of supply in this rolling three-month view through August 2026. Homes are typically going under contract in about 22 days, and about 40% are off the market in two weeks. Compared with the broader Springfield market, Westside has slightly tighter inventory, as Springfield overall sits at about 2.1 months of supply.
Prices have pushed higher over the past year, with the typical home value up about 14% year over year to around $158,000, while the median list price has climbed a more modest 5%. Sales activity has picked up substantially, as homes sold are up nearly 95% from a year ago even though new listings have risen only about 13%, highlighting strong buyer interest despite limited fresh inventory.
Inventory patterns are shifting under the surface, with active listings up roughly 34% from last year but down from early summer, and pending sales higher by about 63% year over year. Sellers are often needing to price realistically, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio of about 97% and no recent sales closing above asking in this period. With conditions favoring sellers yet offering buyers more options than a year ago, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a Westside real estate agent who knows how to navigate this changing market.
