High St. Louis Home Prices: What Buyers and Sellers Should Expect Next

Recent data from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) charts below reveal interesting insights about St. Louis home prices in relation to the M2 money supply. Over the last several years, St. Louis home prices, represented by the red line, have steadily risen, reaching their current index value of 302.78 in Q3 2024. At the same time, the M2 money supply, shown by the blue line, has seen a more dramatic fluctuation, particularly during and after the pandemic, with a current value of over $21 trillion.

Historically, as the M2 money supply increases, home prices tend to rise as well, influenced by factors like inflation and the availability of credit. However, the recent stabilization of the money supply suggests that home price appreciation could slow down in the near future. For buyers, this might present an opportunity to find more balanced pricing. For sellers, especially those considering listing their homes soon, now may be a good time to take advantage of historically high prices before any potential cooling.
