Here's what you can get for $800,000 in St. Louis
'Gateway to the West' offers variety of comfortable homes
After a dramatic drop in activity as the coronavirus pandemic kept people inside their houses, the St. Louis, Missouri, real estate market may be springing back.
The number of listings in the metro area was nearly 17 percent lower in March than a year earlier, according to Realtor.com. But home sale prices, after dipping to a low of $172,500 in February, climbed to $200,000 in April, according to STLRE.com.
And average sale prices over the past month were 7.6 percent higher than a year ago, according to Redfin.
St. Louis is home to the Anheuser-Busch flagship brewery and the headquarters of a number of major companies like Express Scripts, Monsanto and Enterprise Holdings. So there’s no shortage of reasons to move to the “Gateway to the West.”
