📊 Dardenne Prairie Market Update – Q1 2026

The numbers are telling an interesting story this quarter…

➡️ Homes sold are up (+42.86%) — buyers are still out there and ready to move
➡️ Inventory is down (-11.48%) — fewer homes hitting the market
➡️ Days on market is up (+153%) — homes are taking longer to sell
➡️ Prices are holding relatively steady — slight dip in median price, but average price is actually up

So what does this mean for you?

🏡 Buyers:
You’ve got more breathing room right now. Homes aren’t flying off the shelf like they were, which means more time to think, negotiate, and potentially score a better deal (especially on homes that have been sitting).

🏡 Sellers:
It’s still a strong market—but strategy matters more than ever. Pricing right, strong marketing, and knowing how to position your home can make a huge difference in how quickly (and for how much) you sell.

📲 Curious what your home is worth right now or how to navigate this market as a buyer?
Let’s chat—I’ll walk you through exactly what this means for your situation.
