Over the last few years, condo sales have been harder hit than home sales.
In 2011, only 12% of the sales in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County were condos. With 9 in 10 buyers choosing homes instead of condos, only the best priced condos sell.

What does all this mean?
If you are trying to sell a condo, there just aren’t many buyers in any price range. If you aren’t priced between $100,000 – $200,000, it will be extremely hard to sell and you need to price it aggressively if you hope to get a contract offer. But in EVERY price range, you need to be competitively priced if you hope to sell at all.
If you are trying to buy a condo, you should have a lot to choose from compared to buyers of single family homes. With a high level of inventory available and very low demand for condos, buyers are getting great deals.
