You locked the doors. You paid off the mortgage. You did everything right.
And someone could still try to take your home β€” without ever touching the front door. 🏠
Most people have no idea this is even possible. The ones who find out usually find out too late.
Five minutes today is all it takes to stay ahead of it. πŸ‘‡
Save this so you can do it tonight. Share it with the homeowner you'd never want to see go through it β€” the parent, the neighbor, the friend who paid theirs off years ago.

For years, every real estate headline was about the Sunbelt. That's changing β€” and it's good news for the Greater St. Louis area.

Leading housing economists are now pointing to the Midwest as one of the bright spots for 2026. The reason is simple: affordability plus stable demand.

As previously red-hot markets in Texas and Florida cool from overbuilding, buyers and attention are shifting to markets that were overlooked during the boom. Greater St. Louis fits that profile exactly.

The May MARIS data backs it up:
πŸ”Ή Three of our five counties are still seller-favored
πŸ”Ή Homes are moving in 7 to 10 days
πŸ”Ή Prices held steady β€” no wild swings to correct

Steady isn't boring. Steady is what a healthy market looks like.

If you've been waiting for a sign that your market is worth paying attention to, the national economists are pointing at our backyard. Want to talk about what that means for your timeline? Send me a message.

List price and sale price sound like the same thing. But they're not. And the gap between them tells you exactly who's in control of a market.

List price is what the seller is asking. Sale price is what the buyer is actually paying.

Right now in the Greater St. Louis area:
πŸ”Ή Jefferson County β†’ 101.3% of list
πŸ”Ή St. Charles County β†’ 100.6%
πŸ”Ή St. Louis County β†’ 100.6%
πŸ”Ή Franklin County β†’ 99.1%
πŸ”Ή St. Louis City β†’ 98.6%

Above 100%, sellers are winning. Below 97%, buyers gain a little ground.

Leverage is still on the seller's side in most of our region right now β€” but it varies by neighborhood and price point.

Here's what the Greater St. Louis market is actually telling us heading into summer.

April closed with three of our five counties β€” St. Louis, St. Charles, and Jefferson β€” firmly seller-favored.

πŸ”Ή Months of supply: 2.3 to 2.6
πŸ”Ή Buyers paying at or above 100% of list
πŸ”Ή Homes under contract in 7 to 10 days

St. Louis City and Franklin County show a little more breathing room for buyers, but both are still well under the 5-to-6-month supply that defines a balanced market.

What that tells me about summer: peak conditions don't disappear on June 1st. But the buyer urgency that drives above-asking offers does start to soften a little. The next few weeks are the strongest window of the year.

If you've been thinking about whether now is the right time, I totally get it. Most people find that one conversation answers more questions than weeks of research alone. Reach out anytime.

A buyer decides how they feel about your home in about 8 seconds β€” and they do it before they ever walk inside.

That's why exterior projects dominate the return on investment rankings. Four of the five highest-ROI improvements in the country are things buyers see from the driveway:

πŸ”Ή The garage door
πŸ”Ή The entry door
πŸ”Ή The siding
πŸ”Ή The landscaping

Landscaping alone can lift impressions by 5 to 15% β€” one of the most affordable leverage points you have. A fresh coat of exterior paint runs a few thousand dollars and is one of the most cited improvements by agents nationwide.

The inside of your home closes the deal. The outside is what gets a buyer to walk in and give it a chance.

Wondering what your home's first impressions are actually saying right now? That's one of the first things I look at in a pre-listing walkthrough.

Do you know which home improvement has the highest return on investment in America? It isn't a kitchen or a bathroom. It's something most people never even think about.

It's the garage door.

According to the latest Cost vs. Value report, replacing your garage door returns about 268% of its cost. A ~$4,700 project adds about $12,500 in resale value. Nothing else on the list comes close.

Why? It's a huge piece of your home's street-facing facade. Buyers form their first opinions before they ever step out of the car. A dated, dented door quietly tells them the rest of the home wasn't kept up either.

Steel entry doors and exterior work follow the same pattern. The outside of your home is where your ROI lives.

Thinking about which improvements are actually worth it before you sell? That's exactly what a pre-listing walkthrough is for. Let's make sure where your dollars go, they come back.

How fast are homes actually selling in the Greater St. Louis area right now? The answer changes county by county.

Per the latest MARIS data:
πŸ”Ή St. Charles County β†’ 7 days
πŸ”Ή St. Louis County β†’ 9 days
πŸ”Ή Jefferson County β†’ 10 days
πŸ”Ή St. Louis City β†’ 17 days
πŸ”Ή Franklin County β†’ higher

A note on Franklin: the data there includes a lot of new construction β€” lots that hit the market when they're still raw ground. The resale picture is steadier than the headline number suggests.

The pattern across every county is the same. The homes selling fastest are the ones priced right on day one. Overprice by 5 to 10%, and that number can triple.

Wondering where your home falls in this data? That's exactly the conversation I have with sellers all the time.

05/28/2026

Is it actually a good time to sell your home in the Greater St. Louis area right now?

Let's stop guessing and look at what April 2026 actually shows us.

πŸ”Ή St. Charles County β†’ median home under contract in 7 days at 100.6% of list price
πŸ”Ή St. Louis County & Jefferson County β†’ 9–10 days, at or above list

Here's the truth most sellers miss: when buyers are paying full ask in under two weeks, the issue isn't marketing β€” it's preparation. The sellers winning in this market aren't trying to time things perfectly. They're priced right from day one, presented well, and ready for inspection.

And your strongest week on the market is your first week. Every week after, momentum starts working against you.

If you've been thinking about selling this spring, I totally get it. The window is real and so is the leverage. Reach out anytime β€” one conversation answers more questions than weeks of research.

Buyers form an emotional read on a home within seconds of arriving β€” and it happens entirely from the exterior.

That's why the ROI data skews so heavily toward outside work: four of the five highest-returning improvements nationally are visible from the driveway β€” garage door, entry door, siding, and landscaping. Landscaping alone can lift first impressions by 5–15%, and exterior paint remains one of the most agent-recommended pre-sale investments.

The interior of a home closes the sale. The exterior determines whether a buyer is emotionally open before they walk in. For sellers allocating a limited budget, that sequence should drive the priorities.
