--- title: "Republic MO Real Estate Market Report: September 2026" date: 2026-10-02 author: "Zac Albers" featured_image: "https://springfieldmohomesforsale.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/republic-mo-market-report-september-2026.png" categories: - name: "Market Reports" url: "/category/market-reports.md" --- # Republic MO Real Estate Market Report: September 2026 **Republic had the fastest market in this report in September 2026. The median home went under contract in 11.5 days, and sellers got 98.9% of their final list price, also the best in the report. But activity dropped: 28 priced closings, down 30.0% from a year ago, and new contracts fell to 23 from 39.** Here is what that combination means for buyers and sellers this fall. −30.0% Homes sold vs. September 2025 28 sold (vs. 40) −3.2% Active inventory 122 active (vs. 126) −41.0% New pending sales 23 pending (vs. 39) 11.5 Median days on market (CDOM) vs. 32 in September 2025 $290K Average sale price −12.8% year-over-year $271K Median sale price +0.1% year-over-year **Absorption rate: 3.18 months.** *Republic has 3.18 months of supply at the current sales pace. Under 6 months is generally a seller’s market; 3 to 6 months still favors sellers, but buyers have more room.* ## Fewer sales, but the right homes still move fast Republic closed 28 sales against 40 last September, the largest drop in this report, and new contracts fell 41.0% to 23. Fewer people listed too, with 52 new listings against 63 a year ago, but contracts fell faster than listings, and months of supply rose to 3.18. So demand did soften. What did not change is how buyers treat a well-priced home: the ones that sold went under contract in a median of 11.5 days, down from 32, at 98.9% of final list price and 97.0% of original list.

Both buyers and sellers have pulled back this year. September’s drop in new contracts is the number to watch: if it continues, inventory will build and sellers will have to negotiate more. For now, well-priced homes still sell in under two weeks at close to asking, so expect prices to stay flat through the fall. ## The bigger picture Republic’s market is smaller this year on both sides: fewer listings and fewer buyers. The homes that do sell still move quickly and close to asking, which tells you buyers are selective, not absent. For sellers, that means the market rewards a well-priced, well-prepared home and is less forgiving of one that is not. ## Republic real estate: frequently asked questions ### Is now a good time to buy a home in Republic, MO?
