St. Louis Housing Market Update – February 2026
If you’ve been wondering whether this is a good time to sell, February’s numbers tell an interesting story.
Inventory in the St. Louis City and County market remains tight, with single-family home inventory down 3.8% from last year. At the same time, the median sales price climbed to $290,000 — up 8.6% year over year.
Some indicators suggest the market has cooled slightly. Pending sales were down compared with last year, and homes are taking a bit longer to sell—about 41 days on average for single-family homes.
But the numbers only tell part of the story. In our day-to-day work with buyers, we’re still seeing strong competition for homes that are well maintained and updated—whether they’re priced under $300,000 or closer to $1 million and beyond. When the condition is right and the systems are solid, those homes are still moving quickly.
That’s encouraging for sellers and a reminder for buyers that preparation and good guidance matter more than ever.
If selling has been on your mind, we’re always happy to share what we’re seeing in the market and help you think through your next step.
Curious what today’s market might mean for you?
