Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate Market Report for August 2026

August gave us another reminder that the Lake of the Ozarks real estate market isn't one market. Lakefront homes, condos, off-water homes and luxury properties are each telling a slightly different story.

Here are some of the August numbers:

🏡 Overall Residential
• 267 sold — up 3.9% from August 2025
• $344,000 median sold price — up 1.3%
• 60 average days on market

🌊 Lakefront Homes
• 78 sold
• $611,000 median sold price — up 8.1% YOY
• 48 average days on market

🏢 Condos
• 70 sold
• $310,000 median sold price
• Sales up 2.9% YOY

🏠 Off-Water / In-Town Homes
• 124 sold
• $275,000 median sold price — up 7.0% YOY
• Sales up 5.1%

💎 $1M+ Single-Family Homes
• 19 sold — up 11.8% YOY
• $1.385M median sold price
• 37 average days on market
• $4.3M highest sale

And the bigger picture remains encouraging: 2,289 properties have sold through August 31, up 12.1% from the same period in 2025.

Whether you're buying or selling, the numbers that matter most are the ones for the type of property, location and price range you're actually competing in.

Still looking for my lost shaker of salt.

Summer may be winding down. The Lake isn’t.

There’s another great weekend ahead at Lake of the Ozarks!

Saturday morning, visit the Camden County Farmer’s Market on the Square in Camdenton. Motorsports fans can catch Chin Track Days at Ozarks International Raceway Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night, Celebration Cruises offers a Fireworks Cruise, and Sunday night Ty Myers takes the stage at Ozarks Amphitheater.

And those are just a few ideas.

You can still spend the weekend boating, golfing, fishing, dining on the water, catching live music, visiting local businesses—or checking out a few open houses while you’re here.

That’s one of the great things about living at Lake of the Ozarks. There’s always something to do, and September can be one of the best times to enjoy it.

For even more events and activities around the Lake, check the Lake of the Ozarks Convention & Visitor Bureau Events Calendar and Lake Expo’s Lake Events Calendar.

Thinking about making the Lake more than a weekend destination? Give me a call. I’d be happy to show you what’s available.

Small vanities, big style—see compact designs that impress.

Small doesn't mean it can't be chic (and functional) and these designer-approved small bathroom vanity ideas prove it

Over these 20 years, we’ve had our share of ups and the downs, good times and rough times.

We’ve started new adventures, faced changes we never expected, lost people we loved and gained new friends and family along the way.

There were probably some who didn’t think we’d make it this far. Maybe there were even times when we wondered ourselves. But through everything life has thrown at us, here we are. Still together, still standing side by side.

Twenty years of memories, laughter, struggles, changes, and a life we built together.

I wouldn’t trade the journey, because it’s our journey.

Happy 20th Anniversary to my wife, my partner, and the one who has been there through it all.

Still together. Without a doubt.

Always and forever. ❤️
