More listings are showing up in Edwardsville, but buyers still move fast

Here is the one thing that changes what you should do right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 105 homes for sale in ZIP 62025 in the three months ending August 31, 2026, up 7.1% from a year before. More competition is real. But buyers have not slowed down at all.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median time on market at 26 days in 62025. That is 7 days shorter than the same period in 2025. More listings showed up, and homes still sold faster. That tells you pricing and condition are doing the work.

Nearly half of Edwardsville homes sold above list price

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 46.5% of homes in 62025 sold above list price in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That share is up 10.8 points from a year before. Not every home got there, but nearly half did. The ones that did were priced right from the start.

Fewer homes sold than a year ago, down 7.9% by the Real Estate Data Aggregator's count. But the ones that did sell moved quickly and closed above asking. That gap matters. It says some listings are sitting while others are flying.

Two in three Edwardsville homes went under contract within two weeks

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 65.2% of homes in 62025 going under contract within two weeks of listing. That share is up 0.4 points from a year before. If your home is priced and prepared well, buyers are ready. If it sits past two weeks, something needs to change.

How nearby ZIP codes compare

The story in Edwardsville is not the whole picture for this area. Here is how the three months ending August 31, 2026 looked across nearby communities, all from the Real Estate Data Aggregator.

Glen Carbon (62034) had the highest median sale price at $392,500, up 9.6% from a year before by the Real Estate Data Aggregator's count. It also had just 1.7 months of supply, the tightest of the three. O Fallon (62269) saw homes for sale jump 42.5% year over year, giving buyers there noticeably more to choose from.

The national picture adds some context

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price cuts in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. That is a real signal. Locally, the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows Edwardsville running ahead of that trend, with homes still closing above list on average.

Realtor.com also reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025. That raises the cost of buying. The Federal Housing Finance Agency put U.S. home prices up 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Local prices in 62025 rose 1.2% over the same stretch, by the Real Estate Data Aggregator's count.

One street can read very differently from the ZIP code as a whole. The numbers above cover all of 62025, but your block, your price range and your home's condition all shape what you would actually see. Text me your address and I will show you what homes near yours are doing right now.
