What's Happening in Kansas City Real Estate This Week

The Kansas City real estate market continues to show steady movement as we wrap up October. While some activity has slowed compared to last week, prices remain strong, and homes are still selling at a healthy pace. The market is settling into its late-fall rhythm, with balanced opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

New Listings:

This week, 739 homes were listed for sale, an 8% decrease from last week’s 803. The dip in new listings follows the typical seasonal trend as we move closer to the holidays, with many sellers choosing to wait until after the first of the year to list.

Homes Sold:

The number of homes sold fell to 783, a 9% drop from 864 the previous week. Even with fewer closings, activity remains strong for late October, and many homes are still finding buyers quickly when priced competitively.

Average List Value:

The average list price ticked up to $376,935, up 2% from last week’s $371,556. This increase shows sellers’ continued confidence in pricing, even as the market gradually cools with the season.

Average Sold Price:

The average sold price rose to $405,970, a 3% increase from $395,048 last week. This steady growth reflects strong buyer demand and shows that well-prepared homes are still selling at premium prices.

Price Reductions:

Price reductions decreased to 894 homes, down 6% from 955 last week. The dip suggests that sellers are becoming more precise in their initial pricing and that fewer homes need adjustments to attract offers.

Pending Sales:

Pending sales came in at 710, a 4% decrease from 742 last week. The slight slowdown is typical for late fall but still represents solid buyer engagement heading into November.

Homes Going Back on the Market:

The number of homes returning to the market rose to 169, up 14% from 148 last week. While this is a notable increase, it’s not unusual for this time of year as inspections and financing can occasionally impact late-season deals.

Average Days on Market:

Homes spent an average of 42 days on the market, holding steady from last week. This stability shows that while buyer activity has slowed slightly, homes are still moving at a healthy pace when priced appropriately.

What Does This Mean for You?

The Kansas City housing market continues to balance nicely between supply and demand. Listing activity and pending sales have dipped slightly, but prices are holding strong and even climbing in some areas. Sellers who list now are still finding serious buyers, and buyers benefit from slightly less competition than during the summer rush.
