The St. Louis Real Estate Market this week shows a small gain in active listings, with fewer homes accepting contracts, thus our pending ratio has declined back to almost 15 percent from last week's 16.16 percent.

The St. Louis Real Estate Market this week continues to show better buyer activity as evidenced by the pending ratio pushing up over 15% for the first time since August 2007.

Homes that are on the market now are selling, and those that are priced at market value are selling quickly. HOWEVER, don't get buyer activilty and increased home sales confused with pricing.
