Missouri Just Made a Tax Move That Could Change Real Estate Forever—Here’s What It Means for You!

Big news is shaking up Missouri’s real estate scene—but this time, it's not about home prices or mortgage rates. On July 10, 2025, Governor Mike Kehoe signed a bill eliminating the state capital gains tax on all individual investments, including real estate gains, effective retroactively from January 1, 2025 

Why This Tax Change Matters for Home Sellers

• No more state-level capital gains taxes when you sell your primary residence, investment property, or other assets.
• More money stays in your pocket—boosting returns and making selling more attractive.
• Potential to attract high-net-worth buyers to Missouri, increasing demand across markets.

Local Impact: Franklin & Surrounding Counties

For Franklin County residents, this could mean stronger seller interest and more confidence in listing homes, especially in competitive areas like Washington, St. Clair, and Gerald—where earlier this year, prices were rising and market activity was brisk
