Saint Louis Real Estate – WillFrost.com

In the Saint Louis and surrounding areas,  as of August 2009, we have

• 18828 residential listings in the MLS system with
• a contiguous days on market of 155
• and an average listing price of $242,583.

In August 2008, the numbers were

• 21524 listings in the MLS system with
• a contiguous days on market of 147
• and an average listing price of $238,039.

The average listing price has risen, the days on market have risen, but the overall number of properties on the market has decreased.  This is a small snapshot that does not show a huge change in any direction. There are many reasons why the overall total number of listings has decreased, but the days on market increasing along with the average sale price increasing may show that the sellers that are left are becoming more stubborn with their bottom line price.
