What is My St. Charles Home Worth? Homes Sales in St. Charles 63301




October 2014 Update

 As we headed into the Holiday season, home sales in the St. Charles 63301 zip code dropped as far as the number of sales from September, but the average sales price increased...and that's good news!   

This report is for single family homes only and NOT condos.  I’m covering zip code 63301 only.  That means that any St. Charles homes in other zip codes are NOT covered in this report.  This report is informational and for the best advice for you as an area home buyer or seller, please contact me for a specific review of your needs.

All data is derived from the St. Louis MLS system.  If any St. Charles homes traded hands without a Realtor® involved, it won’t be reflected in this report.  All data is for the 63301 zip code only.   Percentages reflect increases or decreases from September 2014 statistics.

The 63301 zip code offers a diversity of living choices, with a focus on affordable housing.  Much of the zip code area is easily reached by I-70 and I-370.

What can we determine from the latest statistics?

  • While sales volume may have dropped from the previous month, it’s still a strong month.
  • Days on Market is pretty solid, with homes selling in just under 2 months.
  • Distressed properties (foreclosures) have minimal impact at this point.  Less impact there means better pricing for the rest of the market.
  • Sales prices increased along with the average price per square foot.  The increase of the sales to list price is always good news.

What does this mean to you as a St. Charles single family home owner?

Home sales prices are rising and selling quickly.  It’s still critical to price right, prep your home, and hire a Realtor®.  Don’t forget, you also have new construction competition.
