ST. LOUIS — For the past four years, St. Peters has topped the region annually in local home sales. Midway through 2019, the St. Charles County municipality continues to lead the pack.

Realtor Linda Boehmer of the Boehmer Team said St. Peters continues to see strong sales activity because of its desirable school districts, access to major interstates and a diverse housing stock.
"The city is clean, presents itself well and many residents as well as the children who grew up in the city choose to stay there when making a move or looking for a place to raise their families. When new construction is available in the 63376 ZIP code, it sells rapidly. The city offers a mix of preowned homes, new construction and low maintenance living options," she said.
Across the region, buyers continue to shop for homes in a market with limited options. The number of St. Louis metro area homes for sale fell to 4,730 last month, a decline of 21.3% from a year earlier, according to data from the St. Louis Realtors trade group.
