What it costs to buy a home in Old North St. Louis
At today’s typical value of $120,300 (Zillow, Aug 2026), a buyer putting 20% down ($24,060) and financing the rest at 6.5% over 30 years would pay about $608 a month in principal and interest — 34% of the median household income here. That is above the common 28% guideline but under 36%, so budgets are stretched but workable for a median earner. The median rent is $739/month, so owning is roughly 18% cheaper per month than renting, even before counting equity.

What this means for buyers, sellers and investors in Old North St. Louis
Buyers
At 8.7× local income, this is a premium market; expect competition for the few homes at the lower end of the range. Prices have eased 4.3% over the past year, which gives buyers more room to negotiate.
Sellers
Values are down 4.3% on the year, so price to today’s market rather than last year’s peak — and get a home-specific estimate: condition and size move the number more than the area average.
Investors
A gross rental yield of 4.7% is middling — returns depend on buying below the typical price or adding value.

About this data
Data last updated: September 2026.
Current values and trends use the Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) — the typical value of mid-tier homes, smoothed and seasonally adjusted — through Aug 2026. It is refreshed monthly.
Median values, incomes, rents, housing stock and commutes come from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates at ZIP Code Tabulation Area level. City and state figures are population-weighted averages of their ZIPs.
The Value Score (0–10) blends gross rental yield and price-to-income affordability. It is a value snapshot, not a forecast.
Mortgage figures assume 20% down and a 6.5% fixed 30-year loan, principal and interest only.
These are area-level statistics, not an appraisal of any individual property, and not financial advice.
