How fast do Springfield homes sell?
Faster than the area around them. The last three months had too few sales to stand on their own, so Springfield’s read comes from the full twelve months, when buyers paid close to asking.

| Period | Sold | Median sale price | Price per square foot (median) | Median days on market | Share of original asking price | Median living area (square feet) | Median build year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 days ending October 20, 2026 | 9 (thin) | $350,000 | $209 | 45 days | 96.6% | 1,790 | 2018 |
| Same 90 days a year earlier (July 23, 2025 to October 20, 2025) | 5 (thin) | $360,000 | $172 | 98 days | 90.3% | 1,653 | 2004 |
| Twelve months ending October 20, 2026 | 44 | $355,000 | $184 | 37 days | 95.4% | 1,870 | 2016 |
| Prior twelve months (October 21, 2024 to October 20, 2025) | 39 | $375,000 | $193 | 40 days | 94.8% | 2,004 | 2015 |
Supply is short too, under three months at the twelve-month pace, which suits a neighborhood where nearly every listing is a resale.
Did Springfield prices fall this year?
Somewhat. Springfield’s median sale slipped to $355,000 this past year from $375,000 in the year before.
The homes that sold were a little smaller, and a square foot brought $184 against $193, so prices fell partly from which homes sold and partly per foot.
More homes sold, 44 against 39. Buyers are coming out of the woodwork in Springfield, and they are paying a bit less for each house.
What is a Springfield home competing against?
Other resales, mostly. No builder has new homes listed in Springfield, and most of what sold here was built between 2000 and 2024.
The pressure comes from next door instead. A buyer shopping Springfield can drive a few minutes to Easton Park and walk a new house, so a Springfield listing has to win on price and on an established, lived-in street.
Which Springfield price range is your home in?
The low $300,000s are the sweet spot. Listings that opened between $300,000 and $349,999 closed at 97.1% of what their owners first asked, which is a seller’s market for that range.
Table 2. Springfield homes by price range, twelve months ending October 20, 2026; homes for sale as of October 21, 2026. A range is a seller’s market when homes sold for at least 97% of their original asking price, balanced from 94% to 97%, and a buyer’s market below 94%. Only price ranges with at least 10 sales in the twelve months are shown. Source: Unlock MLS.
| Price range | Sold | Median sale price | For sale | New builds for sale | Homes that cut their price | Months of supply | Market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $300,000 to $349,999 | 13 | $335,000 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 1.8 | seller’s market |
| $350,000 to $399,999 | 13 | $357,500 | 5 | 0 | 3 | 4.6 | balanced |
The range just above it was balanced, with buyers paying a little less of the first price.
Sell now, or wait?
Springfield is one of the steadier corners of 78744, and the house itself decides more than the month.
- Sell now if your home would open in the low $300,000s, where buyers paid close to full asking.
- Sell now if the house is move-in ready and priced below the new builds a short drive away.
- Wait if the roof, HVAC or foundation needs attention.
- Wait if you need a price per foot above what Springfield buyers paid this year.
I would set the asking price based on this year’s closed sales, not last year’s. Springfield homes I list reach my buyer network during the coming-soon stage, including 4,000 cash buyers in my black book, and the decision on any offer stays with you.
