Following is my market report for Residential Single Family Homes in the city of St Louis (Areas 1,2,3,4,5).  These statistics were gathered from the local Multiple Listing Service and are provided as a service to the public:

There were 1470 Total Active Listings on the market.

263 listings Sold in the last 30 days.

Average sales price was $126,542.

Maximum Sales Price in the last 30 days was $740,000.

75 was the average days on market (DOM).

There were 99 new Active listings, with list prices ranging from $7,900 to $865,000.

41 listings went Under Contract (Contingent/Option), with list prices ranging from $7,000 to $524,900.

80 listings moved closer to closing (Pending), with List prices ranging from $4,455 to $524,900.

86 listings Sold, with Sold prices ranging from $9,001 to $525,000. 

51 listings Expired from the market, with List prices ranging from $9,995 to $524,000.

And 18 listings went Inactive (Cancelled/Withdrawn), with List prices ranging from $35,000 to $379,900.

The Pending Ratio was 5.4%.  This is the Pendings divided by the Actives (80/1470).  This is the number of properties going under contract compared to the number of active properties on the market.

The Absorbtion Rate was 5.59.  This is the active homes on the market divided by the number of homes sold in the last 30 days (1470/263).  This tells us how many months of inventory we have on the market.  It demonstrates how long it would take to sell all the homes on the market if no other homes came on the market.

For the 86 Sold listings, 43% were on the market 0-30 days, and 18.6% were on the market for 120+ days.  For the 0-30 day category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 84.5%.  For the 120+ day category, the average sales price to list price ratio was 70.3%.  That goes to show homes that are listed correctly sell for more money in a shorter amount of time.
