The majority of the Kansas City metro is still in a seller’s market, but not all areas are alike. Exact data varies from county to county, and for different home prices. There are now some price points and/or areas that are coming into a balanced or buyer’s market.

NATIONAL NEWS

U.S. existing home sales ticked up 0.5% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.13 million, marking the third consecutive monthly increase, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). However, sales were down 1.0% from the same period last year. Regionally, sales rose month-over-month in the Northeast and South, were unchanged in the West, and declined in the Midwest. On a year-over-year basis, sales were flat in the Northeast and South and fell in both the Midwest and West.

The national median existing-home price continued to climb, rising 1.2% from a year ago to $409,200, according to NAR. This year-over-year increase—the 29th consecutive monthly gain—reflects ongoing tightness in housing supply. At the end of November, there were 1.43 million units for sale, down 5.9% from the previous month but up 7.5% from the same time last year, representing a 4.2-month supply at the current sales pace.

In the Kansas City metro area, the year-to-date average home sales price is $381,970, and the median is $320,711which hits well below the current national median of $409,200, keeping homeownership affordable in Kansas City!

 

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR KANSAS CITY BUYERS AND SELLERS

While national housing trends provide useful context, Kansas City continues to stand out for relative affordability and steady demand. With the local median price remaining well below the national average, KC remains attractive for buyers, while sellers still benefit from limited inventory in many KC neighborhoods.

As always, conditions can vary significantly by location, price range, and property type — especially for luxury homes and lake communities.
