Agents: It's Now A Seller's Market In St. Louis

Real estate agents in the St. Louis area say it is no longer a buyer's market.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the number of homes for sale in the St. Louis region is down 13 percent over the past year based on information from Zillow, a real estate sales website. Meanwhile, more houses are selling.
 
Sales rose 13 percent last year in St. Louis County, and 10 percent in the first two months of 2013. Lower supply and higher demand is pushing up home prices, though some areas, including much of north St. Louis County, are still seeing declines.
