--- title: "Marshfield MO Real Estate Market Report: September 2026" date: 2026-10-02 author: "Zac Albers" featured_image: "https://springfieldmohomesforsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/marshfield-mo-market-report-september-2026.png" categories: - name: "Market Reports" url: "/category/market-reports.md" --- # Marshfield MO Real Estate Market Report: September 2026 **Marshfield closed 28 priced home sales in September 2026, more than double the 12 of a year ago and the biggest jump in this report. The median was $247,850. But only 12 new contracts were written, and active inventory fell to 51, down 32.9% from last September.** Here is why a big sales month and a thin pipeline are both in the same report. +133.3% Homes sold vs. September 2025 28 sold (vs. 12) −32.9% Active inventory 51 active (vs. 76) −14.3% New pending sales 12 pending (vs. 14) 20 Median days on market (CDOM) vs. 41.5 in September 2025 $240K Average sale price −13.2% year-over-year $248K Median sale price −6.5% year-over-year **Absorption rate: 2.74 months.** *Marshfield has 2.74 months of supply at the current sales pace. Under 6 months is generally a seller’s market; under 3 months is strong seller territory.* ## A big closing month, a thin pipeline Marshfield’s 28 closings were the result of contracts written over the summer. September itself produced only 12 new contracts, down 14.3%, which works out to 0.43 new contracts for every closing, the lowest ratio in this report. Part of the reason is supply: active listings fell to 51 and only 20 new listings came on, against 31 a year ago. Absorption was 2.74 months. Expect fewer Marshfield closings in October and November than September’s total.

That is mix, not falling values. 23 of the 28 sales closed under $300,000, and several closed under $200,000. Year to date, the Marshfield median is $267,926, up 7.2% from $250,000 in 2025, the second-largest year-to-date gain in this report after Nixa. September’s median came in below Springfield’s for the month, but Marshfield’s year-to-date median is still higher than Springfield’s $249,000, so it is not a discount market. ## What buyers should know right now - Inventory is tight: 49 active listings as of October 2, with only 15 priced under $300,000. - Marshfield homes take longer to sell than most of the metro. The year-to-date median time to contract is 39.5 days, the slowest in this report, so there is often time to look carefully. - Homes sold at 97.3% of final list and 95.3% of original list, one of the wider gaps in the report. Some sellers are cutting, and that is where your room to negotiate is. - Marshfield appeals for acreage, Marshfield schools and the I-44 commute. It is not a cheaper Springfield; year-to-date prices are higher. ## What sellers should know right now - Competition is light. Active inventory is down 32.9% from a year ago. - Buyers are taking their time. Plan on a few weeks to contract, not a few days, and price accordingly. - Sellers averaged 95.3% of their original asking price. The difference between that and 97.3% of final list price is what an early price cut cost. - Year-to-date prices are up 7.2%. Use recent Marshfield closings to set your price, not this month’s lower median. ## Year-to-date trends (Jan–Sep 2026 vs. 2025) +29.0% Sold listings YTD 178 vs. 138 +7.2% Median sale price YTD $267,926 vs. $250,000 +17.0% Pending listings YTD 186 vs. 159 −1.3% New listings YTD 233 vs. 236 Want to know what your Marshfield home would sell for right now?Marshfield inventory is down 32.9% from a year ago.

September’s low contract count and shrinking inventory suggest the fall will be quieter. Prices should hold near the year-to-date median of $267,926, but closings will likely slow. ## The bigger picture Marshfield is having a strong year on volume and price. September’s report shows two sides of a small market: a big month of closings from summer contracts, and a thin pipeline heading into fall. The year-to-date numbers are the ones to plan around. ## Marshfield real estate: frequently asked questions ### Is now a good time to buy a home in Marshfield, MO?
