Kansas City Housing Market Report

With 490 new listings this week and a sale-to-list ratio of 100%, the Kansas City metro enters fall showing a market where sellers are meeting buyers at asking price.

KC Metro: 7,429 Active Listings, 2.94-Month Supply

Kansas City Metro: 7,429 homes for sale · 490 new in the last 7 days · median asking $375,000 · 2,844 price reductions · a median of 17 days to contract. 2,245 homes closed in the last 30 days, at a median of $370,000. At the pace of the last 90 days that is 2.94 months of supply.

The Kansas City metro carries 7,429 active listings as of September 21, with 490 new listings added in the past seven days and 3,737 homes currently under contract. Closed sales reached 2,245 over the trailing 30 days and 8,380 over the trailing 90-day window from June through September. At that 90-day pace, supply sits at 2.94 months — a figure that positions the metro well below the six-month threshold conventionally associated with a balanced market. The median sold price over the trailing 90 days came in at $370,000 against a current median list price of $375,000, and the sale-to-list ratio for that same period was exactly 100%, meaning homes sold for precisely their asking price on average. The median days to contract over the trailing 90 days was 17.

Price reductions are present but unevenly distributed across the metro. Thirty-eight point three percent of all active listings currently carry a price reduction at the metro level, a share that climbs sharply in certain submarkets. Raytown leads among tracked cities at 49.4% price-reduced, followed by Kansas City at 46.2% on the Missouri side, Independence at 42.2%, Blue Springs at 42.2%, and Lee's Summit at 40.6%. On the opposite end, Olathe shows 26% of listings price-reduced, Overland Park 28.6%, Leawood 29.5%, and Shawnee 29.7%. The fastest-moving submarkets by days to contract are Prairie Village at 13 days, Overland Park and Lenexa each at 14 days, and Kansas City (Kansas side) and Olathe each at 16 days. Leavenworth, at 27 days to contract, and Raymore and Kansas City (Kansas side) at 22 days each, are at the slower end of the spectrum among tracked cities. Note that daily inventory history for this report began collecting on September 10, 2026, so the earliest valid week-over-week comparison will be available on October 8, 2026; the figures here reflect real current counts, not a directional change.

Kansas City metro, this week

Kansas City Metro	Market (Market type is set by months of supply — how long it would take to sell every home for sale at the current pace. Under ~4 months favors sellers (low inventory, faster sales, homes near or above asking); over ~6 favors buyers (more choice, more negotiating room). 4–6 is balanced.)	For sale (Homes listed as active right now. A live count, not a monthly average.)	Median list (The middle asking price among the homes for sale right now. Half are listed above it, half below.)	Sold 30d (Homes that closed in the last 30 days, counted from today — a rolling window, not a calendar month.)	Median sold (The middle price among homes that closed in the last 90 days.)	Days to contract (The middle number of days between a home being listed and going under contract, over the last 90 days of closings. It is not days-to-close, and it is not how long today's listings have been sitting. Newly built homes are excluded, because a build finishing is not a market moving.)	Months supply (How many months it would take to sell every home now for sale at the pace of the last 90 days: homes for sale ÷ (closings in the last 90 days ÷ 3).)	Sale-to-list (The middle home's sale price as a percentage of its LAST asking price, over the last 90 days. Computed per home and then taken the middle of — never one median divided by another, which reads several points high on the same sales.)	Price reduced (The share of homes for sale right now that are asking less than they first asked.)

This week's leaderboards

Kansas City does not yet have four weeks of daily inventory history to measure — that history began collecting 2026-09-10, so the earliest honest week-over-week comparison is 2026-10-08. Until then this report shows this week's real counts, not a week-over-week change.

What buyers should know

With 7,429 active listings and a current median list price of $375,000, buyers have meaningful selection across a wide price range — from Independence's median sold price of $230,000 and Raytown's $219,500 to Leawood's $800,000 and Overland Park's and Lenexa's $530,000 each. The 38.3% share of listings carrying a price reduction means more than one in three active homes has already seen at least one asking-price adjustment, and cities like Raytown at 49.4% and Kansas City (MO) at 46.2% show particularly high concentrations of reduced inventory. That said, the 90-day sale-to-list ratio of exactly 100% and a 17-day median days to contract indicate that homes reaching mutual agreement are generally closing at asking price and moving quickly, so buyers operating in faster submarkets like Prairie Village at 13 days or Overland Park and Lenexa at 14 days will likely encounter competitive conditions despite the broader availability of supply.

What sellers should know

The 90-day sale-to-list ratio of 100% and a 2.94-month supply figure reflect a market where well-positioned listings are holding their asking prices through closing. The 17-day median days to contract suggests homes that attract offers are doing so within roughly two and a half weeks on average, though city-level variation is significant — Leavenworth's 27-day median and Raymore's 22-day median contrast with Prairie Village's 13-day pace. The 38.3% metro-wide price-reduction share is a reminder that a meaningful portion of active inventory has required an asking-price adjustment to generate interest, with the highest concentrations in Raytown, Kansas City (MO), Independence, Blue Springs, and Lee's Summit, and the lowest in Olathe, Overland Park, and Leawood.
