Let’s take a look at YOUR local real estate market. 🏡📊

Here’s how last week shaped up compared to the week before:

📈 New Listings: 287 (up from 272)
📉 New Contracts: 212 (down from 242)
📈 Closings: 212 (up from 155)

New listings and closings both moved up, which shows there is still plenty of activity happening in our local market. The drop in new contracts is worth watching, especially since contracts were also down the week before.

That said, last week’s baseball-size hail and widespread storm damage may have played a role. When homes, roofs, vehicles, and schedules all get disrupted, it can definitely slow down showings and decision-making for a few days.

Our guess is the spring real estate season still has plenty of gas left in the tank, but the next couple of weeks will tell us more. We’ve got a little more stormy weather in the forecast, but after that, the week looks much better for showings and real estate activity.

For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is simple: don’t overreact to one week of numbers, but do pay attention to the trend. Preparation still matters, especially as spring activity continues to unfold.

If a move is on your radar this year, now is a smart time to start building your plan. 📲

Let’s take a look at YOUR local real estate market. 🏡📊

Here’s how last week shaped up compared to the week before:

📉 New Listings: 272 (down from 336)�📈 New Contracts: 242 (up from 224)�📉 Closings: 155 (down from 192)

This week looks like a pretty normal ebb and flow for the spring market. New listings and closings pulled back, but contracts moved up, which tells us buyers are still out there making decisions when the right homes hit the market.
We’re kicking off the week with some stormy spring weather, but that should move along midweek, just in time for what could be another active stretch of real estate activity around the Ozarks.

For buyers, staying ready matters because good homes are still moving. For sellers, preparation is key because timing, pricing, and presentation can make a real difference as spring activity continues.

If a move is on your radar this year, now is a great time to start building your plan. 📲

For a burger that's substantial in both taste and size, the Mulberry Tree Saloon in Marionville is a great choice, offering zombie-themed decor, music, pool tables, and more.

Another closing in the books for The Property Gurus!

This Branson home offered the kind of comfort, flexibility, and thoughtful updates that make a move feel especially meaningful, from the bright living spaces and valley views to the private-entry studio suite. We’re grateful for the trust and excited to see our buyers officially closed on a home that gives them so many possibilities.

These are the moments that make the work worth it.

What's happening in YOUR real estate market? 🏡 📈 🧐

Closings were up across much of the greater Springfield and 417 area last week, and new listings are continuing to hold steady.

That kind of consistency is a good sign for the local market, and based on the contracts that came in during March, there’s a strong chance we’ll see another bump in closings by the end of April.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move, this spring market is giving us plenty to watch. Reach out if you want to talk through what these numbers could mean for your next step.
