As the St Louis real estate market continues to show signs of improvement in many areas, as I often talk about, real estate is very local, so markets within a metro area can behave quite different. Aware of this, many home buyers, particularly home buyers relocating to St Louis, want to know what are the “hot” markets, or the markets that have definitely begin to come back? Sellers want to what the hot markets are as well with the hope they will see their city or zip on the list. I think the best way to answer this question and to get a quick idea of the health of a local market, is the “Market Action Index” (MAI) which looks at, among other things, supply and demand and then determines how hot or cold a market is. The table below (which is real-time data so will change if you come back later and check it out again) shows the top 25 cities/zips in St. Louis based upon the MAI. Of course, there is no one chart or piece of data that can tell you the health of a market as there are many factors that need to be taken into account, but this is a good place to start.

On Sunday, my husband, daughter and I toured the Stuart Castle located in Eureka, MO. We had previously arranged to have 2 Brokers and another Realtor accompany us on the tour, but they were unable to attend. My husband was a bricklayer/stonemason and he was excited to see the Work that was done here.
When We arrived at this gem of a private and secluded property We had to open the gates to gain entry to the main drive to the mansion. I unlocked the gate and slid it open. I began to take photos & a video of the grounds and this architectural Wonder that was built with so much love and labor.

We’ll pick up where we left off after parts one and two of this series about selling a home in this market:
Question- Now for the $64 question, how should a seller properly price their home in this market?
Answer- In today’s market sellers are in fierce competition with one another for buyers. A seller can do everything right in presenting their home from maintenance and upkeep to staging, but if the price is not appropriate buyers will move on quickly. The simple truth is, there is another seller around the corner ready to set their price to appeal to the buyer pool. Unfortunately, an over-priced listing in today’s market sticks out like a sore thumb. A professional REALTOR(R) should be able to assist a seller in pricing their home appropriately for today’s buyer.
