What's Happening in Kansas City Real Estate This Week

The Kansas City real estate market continues its steady seasonal slowdown as we move further into November. This week brought a mix of small declines and modest gains, which is typical for this time of year as both buyers and sellers ease into the calmer fall rhythm. Even with these shifts, the market remains healthy, active, and balanced for both sides of the transaction.

New Listings:

This week saw 697 new listings, holding steady with no change from the previous week. Consistent inventory at this time of year is encouraging for buyers, especially as new listings typically dip more sharply heading into the holidays. Sellers listing now still benefit from serious buyers and reduced competition.

Homes Sold:

A total of 732 homes sold, a 3% decrease from last week’s 756. The slight drop reflects normal seasonal slowing, and the market continues to show strength given the time of year. Many recent pending contracts indicate that closing activity should remain steady heading toward Thanksgiving.

Average List Price:

The average list price increased to $364,194, up 1% from $360,411 last week. Sellers continue to price confidently, and the mix of homes coming on the market this week supports stable pricing metro-wide.

Average Sold Price:

This week’s average sold price dipped to $375,218, a 7% decrease from $404,541. This drop is more reflective of the types of homes closing this week rather than a decline in overall market values. Lower-priced home activity increased, which naturally brought the average down.

Price Reductions:

Price reductions decreased significantly to 770, a 15% decline from the previous week’s 901. This indicates that sellers are pricing more strategically from the start, requiring fewer adjustments to attract the right buyer.

Pending Sales:

Pending sales came in at 723, a 3% decrease from 743. With the holidays approaching, buyers tend to take more time with their decisions, and the pace of new contracts slows accordingly.

Homes Going Back on the Market:

A total of 128 homes returned to the market, down 20% from 160 last week. Fewer fall-throughs indicate smoother transactions and better alignment between buyers and sellers as contracts progress toward closing.

Average Days on Market:

Average days on market increased slightly to 44 days, up 2% from 43 last week. Homes are still selling within a reasonable timeframe, but buyer urgency continues to ease as we move deeper into fall.

What Does This Mean for You?

This week’s numbers reflect a calm, balanced Kansas City market moving at an expected fall pace. Listings remain steady, sales activity is healthy, and fewer back-on-market situations show improving transaction stability. Buyers benefit from a less competitive environment, while sellers who price appropriately are still seeing strong results and steady buyer interest.
