Showing Activity On Residential Real Estate Listings In the St Louis MSA and surrounding Areas.

The charts below track buyer activity across the MARIS MLS, which covers the St. Louis metro area and surrounding counties. Unlike prices, these show what’s happening right now in the market.

Showings Per Listing - This shows how many buyers are viewing each home.

• Higher = more competition
• Lower = less demand

When this number rises, homes tend to sell faster and sellers have the advantage. When it drops, buyers have more negotiating power.

Median Showings to Pending - This shows how many showings it typically takes for a home to go under contract.

• Lower = homes sell quickly
• Higher = homes take longer to sell

This is a good indicator of how picky buyers are and how well homes are priced.

Why It Matters

Together, these charts show how competitive the market is:

• Strong demand → more showings, faster sales
• Softer demand → fewer showings, slower sales

This helps both buyers and sellers understand what to expect before making a move.
