Missouri Real Estate Market Analysis
The Missouri housing market offers investors and homebuyers a diverse range of opportunities across metro areas, counties, and communities at every price point. The PropertyIQ Score rates every market in Missouri by combining Zillow price momentum over 3 and 12 months with Realtor.com market-flow signals — how fast homes sell and how often sellers cut prices — to show how each market is positioned to outperform or lag the state over the next three years.
Missouri's housing market presents a tale of two gateway cities — Kansas City's dynamic corporate economy and St. Louis's anchor of healthcare, aerospace, and financial services. Both metros offer value propositions well below Sun Belt competitors despite comparable employment bases. Missouri's pro-landlord legal environment and moderate property tax rates make it a structurally attractive state for buy-and-hold real estate investors.
Use PropertyIQ's scores and interactive analytics to find the right Missouri market for your goals. Compare metros side-by-side, explore county-level data for granular insights, or use the Graphs tool to track historical trends for any Missouri market over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many housing markets does PropertyIQ track in Missouri?
PropertyIQ currently tracks 25 metro areas and 115 counties in Missouri, each with its own PropertyIQ Score, home value trend, and days on market reading, refreshed monthly.
What does a PropertyIQ Score of 50 mean for a Missouri market?
A score of 50 marks Missouri's own state average demand momentum. PropertyIQ computes scores nationally across every US market, then calibrates the scale so a Missouri market is read against Missouri's own typical momentum rather than the national average. A market scoring above 50 is positioned to outperform the Missouri average over the next three years, while one below 50 is positioned to lag it.
Where can I find ZIP code level housing data for Missouri?
Every metro area and county listed on this page links through to its own ZIP codes, and each ZIP has its own market page with home value, rent, and days on market data. Start from a Missouri metro or county below, then drill into ZIP codes for the most localized data available.
What data sources does PropertyIQ use for Missouri market data, and how often is it updated?
PropertyIQ ingests fresh data every month from Zillow home values, Realtor.com days on market and price cut activity, Redfin, the US Census Bureau, FRED, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Every metro, county, and ZIP page for Missouri shows a last updated date, and PropertyIQ Scores are recomputed monthly once that new source data lands.
Which Missouri metro area has the strongest housing demand right now?
As of the latest monthly refresh, Lebanon, MO has the highest PropertyIQ Score among Missouri metro areas, indicating the strongest demand momentum in the state relative to its own history.
