What's Happening in Kansas City Real Estate This Week

The Kansas City housing market saw a few noticeable shifts this week as we move deeper into November. While some categories cooled slightly, others picked up speed — a sign that the market is still active, even as we approach the holiday season.

New Listings:

This week, 696 homes were listed for sale, a 5% increase from 666 last week. This bump in new listings is encouraging for buyers, giving them more options heading into the colder months when inventory typically tightens.

Homes Sold:

Home sales dipped slightly to 756, down 5% from 793 last week. The modest decline reflects normal seasonal slowing, but the fact that closings remain strong shows that serious buyers are still active in the market.

Average List Value:

The average list price fell to $360,411, a 4% decrease from $374,170 the week before. This shift suggests more affordable homes entering the market, which can help maintain healthy buyer demand heading into winter.

Average Sold Price:

The average sold price rose slightly to $404,541, up 1% from $401,805 last week. Despite minor pricing adjustments on the listing side, homes that sell are continuing to command strong offers, reflecting stable values in the metro area.

Price Reductions:

Price reductions increased to 901, up 8% from 838 last week. This uptick shows that sellers are fine-tuning their pricing to align with shifting buyer behavior, ensuring listings stay competitive in a slower-paced season.

Pending Sales:

Pending sales jumped to 743, up 12% from 666 the previous week. This is a strong sign that buyers remain engaged, and it points to healthy closing activity ahead as we head toward Thanksgiving.

Homes Going Back on the Market:

A total of 160 homes returned to the market this week, up 11% from 144 last week. Some contracts may have fallen through due to inspections or financing, but this also gives buyers a second chance at properties they may have missed.

Average Days on Market:

The average days on market rose slightly to 43 days, up 8% from 40 last week. Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, which is typical as buyer urgency slows with the approach of the holidays.

What Does This Mean for You?

This week’s data shows a Kansas City market that’s still healthy but gradually easing into its winter pace. New listings are up, pending sales are strong, and average prices remain steady — all signs of continued balance between buyers and sellers. Homes may take a little longer to sell, but those priced right are still moving quickly and closing close to asking price.
