🏡 OPEN HOUSE — Sunday, August 16 · 1:00–3:00 PM
11722 Holly Springs Drive · St. Louis, MO 63146

There's a room in this house we can't photograph well enough.

It's off the back — windows on three sides, ceiling fan turning, nothing out any of them but mature trees. Come Sunday, the views from windows will be fantastic and the freestanding AC will be running. That's the part you have to stand in to understand.

The rest of it holds up too:

✔️ 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, two-story in Brookdale
✔️ Parkway North schools — with Craig Elementary, ranked in the top 20% in Missouri
✔️ Kitchen already updated — white cabinetry, granite, stainless, wall oven with built in microwave
✔️ Wood-burning fireplace, hardwood dining room
✔️ A level, private backyard with a patio and two trees out front to give you additional shade on the house
✔️ Minutes to Page, I-270, Olive and the Westport corridor

Brookdale is a popular subdivision with its own optional swim and tennis club, and houses here don't sit long when they're this ready.

Most people who walk in are surprised by the size of the rooms, the size of the lot and how move in ready it is.

Sunday, 1–3. Come see the room. 👋
Bring a neighbor. Bring a friend who's been looking. We'll have cold drinks and Kate will be there to answer your questions.

You locked the doors. You paid off the mortgage. You did everything right.
And someone could still try to take your home — 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. 👇
Save this so you can do it tonight. Share it with the homeowner you'd never want to see go through it — 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 — 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:
🔹 Three of our five counties are still seller-favored
🔹 Homes are moving in 7 to 10 days
🔹 Prices held steady — 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:
🔹 Jefferson County → 101.3% of list
🔹 St. Charles County → 100.6%
🔹 St. Louis County → 100.6%
🔹 Franklin County → 99.1%
🔹 St. Louis City → 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 — 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 — St. Louis, St. Charles, and Jefferson — firmly seller-favored.

🔹 Months of supply: 2.3 to 2.6
🔹 Buyers paying at or above 100% of list
🔹 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 — 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:

🔹 The garage door
🔹 The entry door
🔹 The siding
🔹 The landscaping

Landscaping alone can lift impressions by 5 to 15% — 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.
