What's Happening in Kansas City Real Estate This Week

The Kansas City housing market continues its steady fall rhythm, with a few minor shifts that reflect the season’s cooling pace. While listings and pending sales saw small dips this week, homes are still moving quickly, and prices remain stable — a clear sign of a balanced market as we head toward the holidays.

New Listings:

This week, 666 homes were listed for sale, a 10% decrease from last week’s 739. The dip in new listings aligns with the time of year when many sellers hold off until spring, but the homes that are coming to market are still drawing interest from serious buyers.

Homes Sold:

The number of homes sold rose slightly to 793, a 1% increase from 783 last week. This steady sales pace shows that even as new listings slow, buyers remain active and ready to move on the right properties.

Average List Value:

The average list price edged down to $374,170, a 1% decrease from $376,935 last week. This small change reflects minor market adjustments rather than a larger trend — sellers are continuing to price strategically to stay competitive.

Average Sold Price:

The average sold price dipped slightly to $401,805, down 1% from $405,970 last week. Despite the small decline, homes are still selling at strong values relative to list price, showing that buyers remain confident in current pricing.

Price Reductions:

The number of listings with price reductions fell to 838, down 6% from 894 last week. Fewer reductions suggest that sellers are entering the market with more realistic pricing and that buyers are responding accordingly.

Pending Sales:

Pending sales decreased to 666 homes, down 6% from 710 last week. This slight decline is consistent with seasonal patterns as the pace of new contracts typically slows heading into November.

Homes Going Back on the Market:

144 homes returned to the market this week, a 15% decrease from 169 last week. Fewer homes coming back on the market is a positive sign, indicating smoother transactions and stronger buyer commitment.

Average Days on Market:

The average days on market shortened to 40 days, down 5% from 42 last week. Homes are selling a bit faster again, highlighting that well-priced listings are still moving efficiently even as the overall market cools seasonally.

What Does This Mean for You?

This week’s update shows a Kansas City market that remains steady and balanced, even as the year winds down. Fewer listings and pending contracts are normal for November, but the uptick in sales and drop in days on market prove that motivated buyers are still out there making moves. Sellers who price their homes well are continuing to see results, while buyers benefit from a more relaxed pace and less competition than earlier in the year.
