Is Now the Time to Sell Your St. Louis Home?
If you’ve been thinking about selling your home in the St. Louis area, you might be wondering if now’s the right time to make a move. The short answer? It just might be. Even with more homes hitting the market recently, desirable properties are still selling quickly — and in some hot neighborhoods, they’re going above asking price.
Let’s break it down.
🔍 Market Snapshot: What’s Happening Right Now?
In several parts of St. Louis, we're still seeing strong demand for well-priced, well-presented homes. While inventory has increased slightly, buyers haven’t slowed down — especially when it comes to move-in-ready homes in sought-after school districts or trendy, walkable neighborhoods.
-
📈 Homes in hot areas are selling for up to 4% over list price
-
⏱️ Desirable properties are going under contract in as little as 5 to 18 days
That tells us the market is still competitive — especially if your home stands out from the rest.
💡 Seller Tip: Price Strategically
Pricing your home correctly is more important than ever. With more options available to buyers, the right price can spark interest and even lead to multiple offers. Overpricing, on the other hand, could leave your home sitting longer than it should — and lead to price cuts down the road.
The key? Lean on your real estate expert (hi, that’s me!) to do a deep dive into comparable sales, buyer activity, and current trends in your exact neighborhood. Together, we can hit that pricing sweet spot that gets your home sold fast and for top dollar.
🛋️ Staging Still Sells
You don’t need to renovate your whole home, but a little staging can go a long way. Think fresh paint, decluttering, great lighting, and inviting curb appeal. Buyers need to walk in and feel like it could be their home — and we’ll help you make that happen.
🏡 So… Should You Sell Now?
If your home is in great condition, located in a high-demand area, and you’re thinking about making a move — the answer is likely yes. Even with more homes coming to market, the right listings are still getting plenty of love (and strong offers!).
Let’s talk about what your home could sell for in today’s market and what small changes could make a big impact.
