New Sales Of Listings Last Week In St Charles County Up Over Thirty Percent From Last Year

By Dennis Norman, on June 19th, 2020

COVID-19 who? While it’s still around, it’s impact on the St Louis real estate market has dissipated to the point that we are seeing activity at levels higher than this time last year. For example, as the report below shows, there were 1,245 new sales of residential listings in the St Louis MSA last week, an increase of 10 percent from the same time a year ago. St Charles County was the county with the second-highest number of sales with 217 for the week which was a 32% increase from a year ago! St Louis County, the county with the most home sales in the St Louis MSA had 435 sales, a slight increase above 432 a year ago.

St Charles County Home Sales Trend Falls Back To Early 2016 Levels

By Dennis Norman, on October 23rd, 2019

There were 5,755 homes sold in St Charles County in the 12-month period ending September 30, 2019, a decline of 5.2% from a year ago when there were 6,070 homes sold in the prior 12-months. This is the lowest 12-month trend since February 2016 when there were 5,676 homes sold in the prior 12-months.

As the chart below illustrates, even with the declining trend in home sales in St Charles County, it is still significantly higher than back in 2014 and 2015.

Lack of listings in St Charles could be part of the problem…

As the STL Market Report for St Charles County below the chart shows, there is just a 2.37 month supply of homes for sale in St Charles County. This lack of supply of homes for sale is no doubt contributing to the declining home sales trend. Also worth noting is the 6% increase in the median home price in St Charles County from a year ago.

St Louis Home Sales and Home Prices Are Both Up Over 5 Percent From A Year Ago

By Dennis Norman, on June 22nd, 2017

St Louis continues to enjoy a pretty robust real estate market, albeit it a challenging one for buyers due to the low inventory of homes for sale in most areas, with St Louis home sales, during the past 12 months, up over 5 percent from the prior 12-month period and St Louis home prices up over 5 percent for the same period as well. As the table below shows, in the 5-county core St Louis market, there were 27,437 homes sold in the 12-month period ending May 31, 2017, an increase of 5.13% from the prior 12-month period when there were 26,099 homes sold.

Year-over-year for the month of May looks good as well…

As I frequently comment, looking at home prices and sales activity for a 12-month period is the best way to get a realistic view of the market, less affected by timing of sales due to weather, day of the week the last day of the month falls on etc, it’s still worth looking at the most recent month and comparing it to the prior month, as well as prior year, to help spot trends or changes in the trend. With this in mind, as the chart below shows, for the St Louis core market there were 3,070 homes sold in May, 2017, an increase of 21.2% from the month before when there were 2,533 homes sold, and an increase of just under 1% from May 2016 when there were 3,042 homes sold. As the chart also reveals, homes sold in St Louis during May, 2017 were sold for a median price of $185,000, an increase of 2.8% from the month before when the median sales price was $180,000 and a slight increase of just one-half of one-percent from May 2016 when the median price St Louis homes sold for was $184,000.

Franklin County has the largest increases in home prices and sales during past 12 months…

St Charles County’s Strong Housing Market

By Dennis Norman, on September 19th, 2016

For some time now, home buyers wanting to buy a home in St Charles County have not had a lot of listings to choose from and have had to move fast. Based upon the current market data, I don’t see that situation changing, at least not in the near future.

As the chart below shows, home sales in St Charles county (the blue line) have been on the rise with the peak in spring/early summer this year topping the level hit last year and meanwhile, the time it is taking homes to sell (the black line) has been on the decline and hit the lowest level for the past few years in June of this year.
