Springfield Missouri real estate is seeing many changes in the market. They say our part of the country is always the last to feel the bad economy and the first to pull out.
Because our market never had a huge increase in appreciation of Springfield Mo homes, our prices have not had to adjust as much as other parts of the country. Don't get me wrong......prices have fallen. Sales have slowed, however, the state of Missouri has been able to use the stimulus package for first time home buyers and jump start the market.
