Navigating the Missouri Maze: 2023 Real Estate Stats and Staying Pinnacle with Your Mortgage
Howdy, Missouri homebuyers! Are you navigating the state's exciting, yet ever-changing real estate landscape? Buckle up, because we're about to dive into the 2023 Missouri real estate stats and show you how to stay Pinnacle-powered throughout your journey.
Market Snapshot:
Prices on the Rise: Despite a slight dip in sales volume, Missouri home prices remained resilient in 2023, rising 2.9% to a median of $249,000. This trend is expected to continue in 2024, driven by tight inventory and high demand.
Sales See-Saw: Home sales, however, took a 3.1% tumble compared to 2022. This reflects the national slowdown caused by rising interest rates, but Missouri offers relative stability compared to more volatile markets.
Days on Market Tick Up: With fewer buyers jumping in, listings lingered a bit longer, with the average home spending 27 days on the market (up from 26 days in 2022). This could signal more negotiation opportunities for savvy buyers.
