Today the frequent discussion within the real estate market is the constant reference to the declining home values; foreclosures, short sales, mortage modifications, and on and on. What is not considered is that the St. Louis market is not in the same mode as that is most other major markets within the United States. In fact, recently a major publication indicated that St. Louis is the third best location for safe home investment. What I intend to present here is a comparison of sales in key St. Louis neighborhoods, St. Louis County cities, and the St Charles area. The comparison shows the years of 2007-2010 and looks at number of sales, average price, average square footage, average dollars/square foot, and days on the market. This comparison snapshot should prove helpful as you decide on the area that you wish to purchase a home. Residences and Condos AREA/CITY | YEAR | TOT UNITS SOLD | DAYS ON MARKET | AVE.
