One PDF. Every question you'd text a friend who sells houses here.
Written for Springfield homeowners and the people moving here, not a generic national template with the city name swapped in.

Rountree, Phelps Grove, University Heights, Galloway Village, Brentwood, Southern Hills, and the suburbs that pull families south: Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Willard, Rogersville. Who each one fits, and why.
The 2026 numbers
Twelve months of closed sales pulled straight from the Southern Missouri MLS: by month, by ZIP code, and town by town.
Schools & districts
How Springfield Public Schools and the surrounding districts stack up, and how boundaries shape resale.
Taxes & carrying costs
Missouri's 19% assessment rule, Greene County's rate, reassessment years, and the senior credit.
The seller timeline
Prep, pricing, photos, showings, inspection, appraisal, and a Missouri title-company closing, week by week.
Moving to the 417
Utilities, the airport, trails, Wonders of Wildlife, Route 66, and the weekend list locals actually use.

JP Fluellen · Springfield, MO
Who's behind this
I buy, sell, and invest in Springfield homes. This is what I tell my own clients.
I'm JP Fluellen. I've spent the last five years as a managing broker with Real Brokerage, and I work both sides of this market: helping families buy and sell on the retail side, and buying and renovating houses myself through House Needs Love. That means the numbers in this guide aren't theory. They're the same ones I underwrite against every week.
My approach is empathy first. No pressure, no scripts, no "we buy ugly houses" energy. You get straight answers, and you decide what to do with them.
- Investor-agent. Retail listings and renovations in the same market, so pricing advice comes from real comps and real rehab budgets.
- Builder. I build the software and AI systems my own business runs on, which is why your value snapshot comes back fast.
- Host of the Success Agent Podcast. Conversations with agents and investors about doing this business well.
Questions
Straight answers before you hand over your info.
Why do you need my address and phone number?
The address is how I build your value snapshot: recent comparable sales near you, not a national algorithm. The phone is how I let you know it's ready. If you'd rather I only email, say so in your reply and that's what I'll do.
Is this a sales pitch for listing my house?
No. Most people who download this aren't selling this year, and that's fine. If you do want to talk about selling or buying, I'm easy to reach. If you don't, you still get a guide that's worth reading.
Does the guide cover the suburbs, or just Springfield proper?
Both. Springfield's neighborhoods get the deepest treatment, and there's a full section on Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Willard, Rogersville, Battlefield, and Strafford, because that's where a lot of buyers end up comparing.
Where do the numbers come from?
The market numbers come straight out of the Southern Missouri MLS (SOMO) through Flexmls, pulled the week the guide was published, down to the ZIP code. Everything else carries a source and an as-of date: the U.S. Census Bureau, Zillow, the Greene County Assessor, MERIC, and U.S. News and Niche for schools. Markets move, so I'll keep updating the edition.
