Top takeaways
- Redfin’s January 2026 snapshot shows a $290K median sale price (flat year-over-year) with 39 homes sold.
- Typical time to sell stretched to 48 days in January (vs. 20 days a year earlier), which can give buyers more time to compare options.
- Redfin still rates St. Peters as very competitive, with recent sale-to-list around 97.3% and about 17.9% of homes selling above list.
- The Feb. 4 Planning & Zoning agenda flagged re-approvals plus rezoning discussions tied to senior housing and apartments.
Market snapshot
Even with a longer typical time to sell, the broader signal remains “competitive,” not “soft.” Recent sale-to-list near 97.3% suggests many deals are still closing close to asking, while the share of homes selling above list (about 17.9%) indicates that certain well-priced or highly desirable properties can still draw faster interest.
Active inventory spans a wide band of price points, from low-$200Ks condos/townhomes up to $500K-plus single-family homes. Some new construction is also in the mix, which can add variety for shoppers comparing resale homes versus newer builds.
Development watch
Items on the Feb. 4 Planning & Zoning Commission agenda included Everhome Suites (site plan and special use permit re-approval) and a JG Exteriors Pro site plan reapproval. The agenda also scheduled public hearings for rezoning requests.
Two notable topics were Watermark St. Peters (a change to allow unit conversion from independent living to assisted living and/or skilled nursing) and a multifamily proposal associated with 460 Brown Road Apartments near Highway 79.
Rates + what to watch next
Freddie Mac’s weekly average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 5.98% as of Feb. 26. If rates stay under 6% into spring, the key question is whether buyer activity (showings and offers) ramps up faster than new listings—especially in the most in-demand price bands.
- Watch for the balance between price reductions versus seller concessions as listings compete for attention.
- Track whether the longer “typical time to sell” trend persists beyond January as spring inventory builds.
