What This Means For You
Homes are still selling close to asking price in Pulaski County, so don't expect much wiggle room when you make an offer, especially in that popular $200K–$350K range where military buyers are most active. The good news is inventory ticked up to 204 active listings, giving you a few more options than last month. If you're using a VA loan, you're in good company here, but be ready to move fast since homes are still going under contract at a healthy pace.
This remains a strong seller's market, with median prices up nearly 4% from last month to $270,000 and homes selling for essentially full asking price. With PCS season in full swing through August, demand from relocating military families continues to fuel quick sales, though homes are taking a bit longer to sell than last month (41.7 days). If your home is priced right and shows well, you're likely to see solid interest, particularly from buyers using VA financing.

Market Commentary
Our team knows this market inside and out. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a farm, or searching for land — we're here to guide you.
Pulaski County's real estate market held firm through August, closing out the summer PCS season with the kind of steady, seller-favored conditions we've come to expect from this stretch of the calendar. Median sold price climbed to $270,000, up nearly 4% from July, while homes continued to sell at 99.7% of list price — essentially asking price. That tight gap between what sellers ask and what buyers pay tells you everything about where negotiating leverage sits right now: with 75 homes under contract and only 2.79 months of supply on the market, there simply isn't enough inventory to give buyers much room to haggle, especially in the $200K–$350K range where military buyers using VA financing continue to compete hardest. The slight uptick in active listings, now at 204, and the small increase in days on market (41.7, up two days from July) suggest the market is beginning its seasonal cool-down as the heaviest PCS relocation window closes. This is normal for late summer in a Fort Leonard Wood-driven market — the frantic pace of May through August starts to ease, giving both buyers and sellers a touch more breathing room without shifting the fundamental balance of power. Waynesville and St. Robert remain the epicenter of activity, both still firmly in seller's market territory with homes moving in five to six weeks on average, while Dixon stands out as the outlier this month: a balanced market with homes selling in just over ten days, a sign that well-priced inventory there is finding buyers fast even outside the county's primary corridor. For sellers, this remains a favorable window to list, particularly if your home falls in that highly competitive $200K–$350K band where military buyers are moving quickly and decisively. For buyers, especially those relocating on PCS orders, patience and preparation matter more than ever — with list-to-sale ratios this tight, homes priced right aren't lingering, and lowball offers are unlikely to gain traction. Crocker's longer average days on market (nearly 64 days) may offer a bit more negotiating room for buyers willing to look slightly outside the main corridor, but across the county as a whole, this remains a market that rewards sellers and requires buyers to move with confidence.
