Varied Pockets of Upscale Homes in St. Charles County

Want in on a secret?  Upscale properties in St. Charles County can be smart buys.  The elite home market segment of St. Charles County is a best-kept secret because you're getting so much more house for your dollar here.


The pockets of upper-end properties are peppered throughout St. Charles, Weldon Spring, O'Fallon, and Defiance.  Homebuyers generally can purchase a custom-built upscale property for roughly 30 percent less than in West County and the central Highway 40 corridor.


The St. Charles "luxury" segment starts at $500,000; whereas the figure is $820,000 for  \St. Louis County.  This fact often comes as a pleasant surprise to homebuyers, who may suddenly realize a luxury home is within reach.


The upper-end market has experienced steady sales in the past few months.  One reason may be that jumbo-loan rates have come down enough to entice homebuyers.


Offering quality schools, shopping, and a 30-minute commute to Lambert International Airport, the area offers a more relaxed ambience as well as an abundance of green space and available acreage.
