More Homes Available: Opportunities Grow for Buyers
We're seeing an interesting shift in the St. Louis housing market: new home listings have bumped up by 0.4%, reaching the highest level since April, and overall inventory is now up 0.5%—the most we've seen since May. However, even with more homes available, pending sales have dipped by 1.1% to a six-month low. With costs staying high and mortgage rates hovering at 6.65%, it's clear buyers are moving cautiously. As part of the office in our company and a top performer nationally, I keep a close eye on these trends to help our clients navigate every turn with confidence.
