Are home prices rising or falling in Missouri?
Home prices in Missouri changed +4.44% over the last year, ranking 14th of 51 states. Over five years the annualised rate is +8.67%, over ten +6.94%, and over thirty +4.03%. Figures come from the Federal Housing Finance Agency all-transactions house price index, data to 2026Q1.
Why does this page not show an average home price for Missouri?
Because the FHFA publishes an index, not prices. An index measures how much prices have changed relative to a base period, so it supports statements about percentage change but cannot be converted into a dollar figure for the state. Quoting an index value as a price is the most common error made with this data.
What is the property tax rate in Missouri?
The statewide effective property tax rate in Missouri is about 0.93% of market value a year, which is roughly $3,720 on a $400,000 home. This is a statewide median from the Census Bureau American Community Survey. Local rates vary enormously within a state, and the spread between two counties in Missouri will often exceed the spread between states, so use this to compare states rather than to budget.
How do I find out what my own Missouri home is worth?
A state index describes the whole state, not your house. If you know what you paid and the year, our free tool applies the repeat-sales index for your own metropolitan area over exactly that period, which is the method the index was designed for. It is an estimate with a stated range, not an appraisal, and no lender will accept it.
