The Springfield-area market continues to show steady growth in 2026. Compared to the same period last year, home sales are up 5.8%, new listings have increased 5.0%, and pending sales are up 8.7%, indicating strong buyer activity. While inventory has grown 8.0%, median home prices have also increased to $274,900. Homes are taking slightly longer to sell, averaging 48 days on market compared to 45 days last year, creating more opportunities for buyers while sellers continue to benefit from appreciating home values.

🔥 inventory is up significantly, but home prices are still rising. A strong indicator that demand remains healthy despite buyers having more choices!

If you’re in the market to buy or sell, shoot me a text or call! I’d love to discuss your options with you.

WHY HIRE A REAL ESTATE AGENT
Buying or selling a home is a big step with high stakes! An experienced agent will guide you through the entire process, helping you find the perfect home at a price that fits your budget or sell your property for the best possible price, all on your timeline, without the stress.
BENEFITS OF HAVING AN EXPERIENCED AGENT
• Your agent has a plan to GUIDE you through each step of the buying and selling process, helping you avoid costly mistakes.
• Youragentwill ADVOCATE for your bestinterests throughout the transaction, putting your needs first throughout the entire buying or selling process.
• Your agent knows the market and will EDUCATE you so that you can make the most informed decisions possible.
• When buying, your agent can SEARCH for and find properties that may not be available for you to find. Many properties are bought and sold before they ever hit the public market.
• When selling, your agent will MARKET the property with professional photography, videos, online advertising, open houses, neighborhood farming, email marketing, and agent-to-agent marketing.
•Your agent will SAVE YOU TIME by researching properties, organizing showings, and coordinating all aspects of the transaction.
• Your agent will NEGOTIATE the best possible terms on your property including price, terms, dates, inclusions and exclusions, contingencies, and inspections and repairs.
Your agent will help you prevent and SOLVE problems along the way by using their network of agents, vendors, and other professionals so that you can show up to the closing table with confidence.

WHAT AN AGENT DOES NOT DO
• As your real estate agent, we will show you the best properties that fit your criteria or market your property effectively, but we will never tell you what t to buy or how to sell.
• We will research the propertys market value, whether you are buying or selling, but we won't dictate the offer you should make or accept.
• We are here to guide you through the process, but you're in charge; we will never tell you what to do.
• We are not attorneys, so we will not (and cannot provide legal advice.

📍 Bolivar Market Check-In

Something I’ve been watching closely — in Bolivar we’re seeing homes sit a little longer than we were this time last year… but buyers are still active and motivated on correctly priced, well-presented homes.

Translation ➜ Overpriced = stale.
Properly priced + staged = still moving.

If you’re thinking about selling — don’t rely on “what your neighbor got in 2022.”
This market is different.

If you want, I can run your address and show you the micro-data just for your part of Bolivar — not county-wide averages — so you can see realistic numbers for your specific price point.

Send me the address & I’ll pull it.
No pressure — just facts.
