s the sun rises over Jefferson City on April 8, 2025 at 4:00 a.m., Cameron Cotten, President of the Jefferson City Area Board of Realtors, paints a picture of a residential real estate market that's sizzling hot. With no signs of slowing down, this trend is not just a fleeting moment but a sustained phenomenon.

    The numbers don't lie – February saw significant increases in home sale statistics across the board compared to the previous year, according to the Jefferson City Area Board of Realtors. This uptick in activity defies conventional wisdom that high interest rates would cool off the market. Instead, properties are flying off the shelves, with many selling under contract more quickly than anticipated.

    A recent listing on Wade Road is a prime example of this phenomenon, as it was snapped up faster than expected. This trend is not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of a broader market shift. As Cotten notes, the area's residential real estate market is experiencing a remarkable surge in demand, with no signs of abating anytime soon.
