Franklin County Real Estate Update: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know in Mid‑2025

The real estate market in Franklin County, Missouri is moving through 2025 with steady growth and some notable shifts. Home prices remain strong, inventory is adjusting, and interest rates continue to impact how buyers and sellers approach their next move. Here’s what’s happening—and how Dolan Realtors can help you navigate it.

📊 Home Prices Continue Rising

As of June 2025, the median home price in Franklin County is approximately $260,000. That’s a year-over-year increase of over 7%, reflecting ongoing demand and value growth in communities like Washington, St. Clair, Sullivan, and Gerald. Spring and early summer brought moderate month-to-month shifts, but overall pricing trends remain upward.

🏠 Inventory and Activity Are Balancing

In June, about 425 homes were listed across the county—a slight drop from May. Sales activity also cooled slightly with roughly 100 properties sold or under contract, down from the month prior. Still, many homes are receiving strong offers, and listings that are properly priced and marketed continue to move.

⏳ How Long Are Homes Staying on the Market?

The average time on market is holding steady around 56 days. About 38% of homes are selling in less than 30 days, while 45% sell within 30–90 days. For sellers, this means timing and presentation still matter. For buyers, it suggests there’s time to act—but not to delay.

📉 Mortgage Rates and Affordability

In mid‑2025, 30‑year mortgage rates are averaging between 6.3% and 6.6%. While higher than previous years, rates have remained relatively stable. Thanks to Franklin County’s more affordable pricing compared to urban markets, qualified buyers are still able to secure favorable financing for homes in desirable communities.
