Another closing in Ozark!

This duplex is officially sold, and we’re really grateful the sellers trusted us to help get it across the finish line. Investment properties tend to have a few extra moving parts, so a smooth, timely closing is always a win.

Congrats to the sellers, and thanks again for the trust.

If you’re thinking about selling in the 417, reach out. Happy to talk through it!

Relocating to Springfield, MO?

Helping buyers relocate from hours away takes trust, communication, and a good understanding of what makes the Ozarks feel like home.

We’re excited for these buyers as they move one step closer to calling the 417 home, and grateful for the opportunity to help guide the process from a distance.

Let’s take a look at YOUR local real estate market. 🏡📊

Here’s how last week shaped up compared to the week before:

📈 New Listings: 463 (up from 294)
📈 New Contracts: 241 (up from 214)
📈 Closings: 191 (up slightly from 182)

That is a big jump in new listings, with 169 more homes available than last week. Contracts also moved up, which tells us buyers are still active and ready to make decisions when the right home hits the market.

Another impressive stat: 34 homes went under contract in one day or less. So while buyers may have more options than they did a week ago, well-priced homes are still moving quickly.

It feels safe to say the 2026 summer housing market has begun. More homes are coming online, more buyers are getting out there, and activity is picking up across the board.

For buyers, this is a good time to be watching closely because more inventory means more opportunity. For sellers, the market is active, but preparation and pricing still matter.

If you’re thinking about making a move this summer, now is a great time to start building your plan. 📲

Let’s take a look at YOUR local real estate market. 🏡📊

Here’s how last week shaped up compared to the week before:

📈 New Listings: 287 (up from 272)
📉 New Contracts: 212 (down from 242)
📈 Closings: 212 (up from 155)

New listings and closings both moved up, which shows there is still plenty of activity happening in our local market. The drop in new contracts is worth watching, especially since contracts were also down the week before.

That said, last week’s baseball-size hail and widespread storm damage may have played a role. When homes, roofs, vehicles, and schedules all get disrupted, it can definitely slow down showings and decision-making for a few days.

Our guess is the spring real estate season still has plenty of gas left in the tank, but the next couple of weeks will tell us more. We’ve got a little more stormy weather in the forecast, but after that, the week looks much better for showings and real estate activity.

For buyers and sellers, the takeaway is simple: don’t overreact to one week of numbers, but do pay attention to the trend. Preparation still matters, especially as spring activity continues to unfold.

If a move is on your radar this year, now is a smart time to start building your plan. 📲

Another flip closed and officially ready for its next chapter.

This home started as an opportunity and, with the right updates and strategy, became a move-in-ready property with major improvements already handled: new roof, new A/C, new flooring, an updated kitchen, granite countertops, and new appliances.

That’s what a good investment project can do. It takes vision, planning, and the right team to turn potential into something real.

If you’ve ever thought about finding a flip or investing in real estate, there are opportunities out there. You just need the right guidance to help you know what to look for.
